OMG...[edit]
I have just rebuilt the Italian version of this article, which had a similarly false content:
- There aren't any police forces at the order of any Italian Region (there are instead police forces belonging to the provinces and the "comuni")
- The five regions which have a "special statute" make no difference: they haven't any "own" police force
- Consequently, there can't be vehicles belonging to such police forces; what has been written about the vehicles' colors is something more than pure fantasy...
- No comparison at all can be made between the American county police and something that simply does not exist.
There are instead political instances to create similar police forces, but at the moment none of them has yet gained any concrete probability of being translated into any meaningful sense.
What is truly related to the espression is instead a lot of concepts of Italian administrative law, in which the word "polizia" is used with the meaning of "regulation and control by the public administrations", having nothing to do with the popular meaning of "people with weapons to enforce law". What this article could say is merely (forgive my English):
- Polizia regionale (formally Polizia Amministrativa Regionale e Locale - Administrative Regional and Local Police) is a concept of the Italian administrative law and refers to the regulation and control of certain aspects of the national life; the Italian Constitution did not reserve to the State the competence to issue acts and rules on the subjects which are instead left to the competence of the regions.
I don't know, for the policies and habits of this Project, if it would be correct that I completely rewrite the article (or that my English would be sufficient for doing it); also, I can't understand whether such a definition (what the article would finally be) could meet notability's criteria. But at the moment the text goes well beyond an original research and I suggest an urgent rewriting. --Altreali (talk) 10:34, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
