Virginia State Police Are Now Driving S650 Mustangs
Read the full story on The Auto Wire If you live in or travel through Virginia, be on the lookout for state troopers behind the wheel of S650 Mustangs. Virginia State Police just announced a whole slate of these new pony cars have officially been added to the fleet and delivered to troopers, so they're out on the prowl as we of the Mustangs are GTs with nary an EcoBoost in the lineup. It might be a tough pill for the four-banger crowd to swallow, but the Coyote V8 not only is more powerful, it's far more reliable and durable. Those sorts of things matter to law enforcement agencies. Ford will allow law enforcement and other government entities to create custom specs of duty cars. In this case, VSP appears to have selected the wheels and Brembo brakes included in the GT Performance Package without also including the rear wing (maybe that interfered with the cruiser's equipment?). With a top speed of 155 mph, these Mustangs are fast, making it harder for determined suspects to ditch troopers in a chase. That might be in part why we see more and more law enforcement adding pony cars to their fleets. It probably also doesn't hurt that Dodge has watered down its performance, forcing police to look elsewhere for fast rides. There are some problems with using Mustangs in law enforcement. For one, they don't have a push bar, so officers can't do a PIT maneuver with them. With only two doors, there's no putting suspects in the backseat. Also, interior space is more cramped than in an SUV, so police have to deal with that challenge. But something tells us VSP troopers won't complain. However, speeders and aggressive/distracted drivers will probably loathe these new Mustang GTs added to the fleet.

China Spy Agency Accuses Foreign Agents of Stealing Rare Earths
(Bloomberg) -- China's spy agency has accused overseas intelligence agencies of stealing controlled rare earth materials, reiterating its intent to curb smuggling even as Beijing agrees to review applications to export the vital industrial resource after trade talks with the US. The Dutch Intersection Is Coming to Save Your Life Advocates Fear US Agents Are Using 'Wellness Checks' on Children as a Prelude to Arrests LA Homelessness Drops for Second Year Manhattan, Chicago Murder Rates Drop in 2025, Officials Say Mumbai Facelift Is Inspired by 200-Year-Old New York Blueprint Without naming any country, the Chinese Ministry of State Security accused foreign entities of orchestrating the trafficking of these items, which Beijing sees as a strategic asset and has used as a bargaining chip in tariff negotiations with Washington. 'In recent years, foreign espionage and intelligence agencies and their agents have attempted to collude with and incite unlawful people in the country to steal our rare earth-related items by means of mail delivery, posing a serious danger to our national security,' the ministry said in a WeChat post Friday. China leveraged its dominance in producing these metals and rare earth magnets in the trade war with the US, which relies on Chinese supply to make a wide range of products including electric vehicles. Ford Motor Co. had to cut output at one of its plants after Beijing tightened export controls, and the curbs have deepened tensions with the European Union, which similarly depends on exports from China. The security ministry claimed to have foiled an attempt by an unnamed country to illicitly acquire rare earths for stockpiling. This involved a contractor mislabeling parcels as 'not originally made in China' and misrepresenting product content and ingredients, according to the post. The MSS also detailed other alleged smuggling tactics, such as hiding rare earth powders in ceramic tile ingredients or disguising them in water bottles labeled as 'machinery parts' for export. The ministry urged citizens to report suspicious activities related to rare earth resources. China and the US last month confirmed a deal to suspend drastic tariffs after Beijing vowed to process export licenses and the US agreed to lift its own controls on technology including some advanced AI chips. Signs of easing tensions have raised the chance of a broader deal and a meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping this year.
