Should be also noted that cops aren’t using MRAPs to arrest non-violent drug offenders. They’re using squad cars and it’s mostly a result of traffic stops or stop and frisk type scenarios. MRAPs in fact are rarely used by police departments except in hostage situation or the proverbial “armed man held up in home.” They could be used in situations such as the Bundy ranch. If you think LE shouldn’t have these vehicles available for such situations you may want to consider joining your local PD and facing such situation without an armored vehicle.
