Time to have a carjacker sting op and shoot some of these juvenile delinquents on iCrime.
Important safety tip - how do you carry in your vehicle to have gun accessible while belted in?
Do you shoot through the window or just drive over the little buggers?
When FBI agents get car jacked and the G-ride gets stolen with guns, ammo and armor in the trunk something is seriously wrong.
The Secret Service agent on Biden daughter's protection detail fired his weapon but didn't hit the kid.
Reckless endangerment. Where did his rounds go?

Whoever did that probably knew what was in the car, don't cha think?

If you mean the carjacker who took the FBI car, don't count on it. I think it's more likely that the carjacker just saw an opportunity and took it, without knowing it was a LE vehicle. Plainclothes cops and federal agents being selected for robbery happens more than you'd think, and it's pretty obvious when the robbers don't come prepared for a real fight. Often, the robbery is not successfully consummated.

I’d be comfortable betting a paycheck the perpetrators didn’t know the victim was a federal agent and that they were jacking a g-ride. I believe some years ago the DEA reported that approximately 50% of their agents’ OIS’ were in response to robbery attempts of plain clothes personnel. It wouldn’t surprise me if most other investigative agencies had similar numbers. Most of the big agencies are running fleets of GSA leased vehicles which means the vehicles are generally no older than three years. Popular models of newish cars that don’t immediately look like cop cars, being driven by people who don’t immediately look like cops, who are often doing the same things normal private citizens do during the duty day (going into and out of office buildings, getting gas, going out to lunch, etc). Since the vast majority of car jackings and other street robberies are opportunist crimes that don’t really allow for extended surveillance of the would-be victims, the perpetrators don’t know their intended target is actually an armed federal agent. That’s how feds end up getting robbed on duty.

Having a manual won't keep you from getting killed/beat up, but at least they may not make off with your car.

I thought all GSA vehicles had to use the G prefix license plate. Is this out of date?

Many federal LE vehicles are using state cover tags, especially for those who are in investigative assignments.

Surveillance would be substantially less productive if our vehicles had .gov plates on them.
