But the prohibited items listed in the article are armored TRACKED vehicles, weaponized aircraft and vehicles, .50 caliber weapons and ammo, bayonets, and camouflage.

The article gives you a "Prohibited list" in which it defines all the crap you just posted. I am telling you that Cammo is given out because its cheap for using in practice and is not used in police situations. Nobody has weaponized aircraft and if they do then yeah they shouldn't have gotten it to begin with. Bayonets serve no purpose at all and aren't used by any law enforcement group. Its the Tracked Vehicles that are very valuable to a police department as it helps you move police officers during times of riot and hostage situations. I have never seen anyone with .50 Caliber Weapons in a local police department. Speaking to my buddies here they have quit giving surplus rifles and vest to police departments. You don't hear about that do you.
