Virtually all police cars now have computer terminals connected to the police info-network. Apparently, Verizon left open a connection to the Internet in Philadelphia, and the cops began getting bombarded with Viagra-style pop-up ads:

“It was, to say the least, an inappropriate pop-up for a police department to see,” said Deputy Commissioner Charles Brennan. “Most of the officers took it as fake and I think they actually got kind of a chuckle out of it.”
