Question
Hello, I am writing a story for school and was wondering about police cars. Are the windows bullet proof? Are the video cameras hooked up to a monitor inside? And how long does gun powder residue stay on a person's hands?
Thank you
Hi Tzeitel
The car windows are not bullet proof, the viedo camera is hooked up to a box in the trunk of the car which is usually locked securly. As far as gun powder it can remain on your hands for as long as 72 hours in trace amounts. Hope this helped some.
Jim
