With the new software, the Ford (F) Police Utility -- a version of the Ford Explorer SUV -- can use its engine along with the cabin ventilation system to raise interior temperatures to 133 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.

Yeah, baking a dog would be bad enough, but I'm waiting for the first time they "accidentally" bake a person.
"In accordance with his training and with department protocols, the officer applied an enhanced compliance technique...."
In Mississippi you don't need an engine and heater for that - you just need the 15 minutes.
