 かざし 福４ 福岡県警察の警備艇  かざし 福４ 福岡県警察の警備艇 KAZASHI Fukuoka Prefectural Police Patrol Boat   KAZASHI is a 15 ton Fukuoka Prefectural Police patrol boat.  While the lazy overpaid and under-worked Kitakyushu Police claim they are patrolling the Kanmon Strait, most citizens think they are just going on leisure cruises thru the straits and wasting taxpayer money.  Ship Feakazoid is one such person.  Kazashi was photographed on August 18, 2023 at 14:30, probably after the po-po had finished a long lunch break and had a nap.   糞ポリ　警備艇　★　Kusopoli Police Boat   What do Kusopoli (糞ポリ 警備艇) police boats look like in your neck of the woods?
