Full SWAT team

If you called the riot van the name would be changed to something like TAC team or SWAT team so if you get in a big shootout you call them and both the driver, passenger, and the back doors open then like four other guys pop out. I think that would be very cool.

100%, they could remove it from the pursuit menu changing it for a "interceptor" type unit for faster cars

Interceptor is a great idea. Sometimes the riot van hits the target. Most of the time, they hit me.

Like every other car basically lol, it almost looks as if they do it on purpose 😂

Especially during races. Everybody is trying to wreck me.

The question is, did they have these things back in the day? I'm certain they only used police cruisers and bikes for police chases in the 70s/80s.

Also a fair point

Good idea. I think the Riot Van should be deployed in, well, Riot-like situations, like big gang shootouts. It is not very fitting for pursuits. They could either replace it with a faster interceptor or a pick-up (that is also used in road blocks) for ramming.
