A spokesperson said: “This vehicle was seized from a drug dealer and repurposed for good.

“No taxpayer dollars were spent on buying this ride.”

FHP added: “Maybe the Miami skyline isn’t your thing… but a cheetah or some flamingos might grab your attention.”

“Some states have bison in their photos…Florida’s a little more wild.
