These are all good. I'm leaning towards 3, but I'd need to see it at wiki size first.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.2 > either 1 or 3...a cleaner version of 1 and I'd take it over 3. That said, makes a fair point; these tropes seem to be a little too close to each other.
Yes, they are too close. Possible TRS for merge.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanA very short thread... I think HPDA pretty much includes Lemmings as a subtrope (what do you call that, "supertrope"...?), at best i'd say that while Lemming Cop Can't happen at all without HPDA, HPDA can happen without resulting in lemming, so lemming it barely qualifyes as subtrope. If noting we could look up an image for HPDA that reflects more of that trope (damaging the surrondings, reckless driving), or leave it pictureless as it is now, and use 1.2 for Lemming Cops.

"We are not a stuffy encyclopedic wiki. We're a buttload more informal".Doesn't look like a cop. I mean, I know it is due to Fan Myopia, but I can't expect someone who isn't familiar with the source material to think that the brownish-looking car with an indistinct door decal being driven by a man in a white suit is a police vehicle.
And yeah, it's listed as a subtrope, except their descriptions cover the exact same specific examples. Both descriptions talk of cops hitting fruit carts, going off drawbridges, driving off cliffs, and mentions that no trained (or hell, untrained) person would fail so hard. The only tangible difference between the two is that the supertrope is about "cops are bad drivers" and the subtrope is "cops are bad drivers when chasing someone" which... well, is pretty much the only time it seems to apply.
The only difference is that HPDA has a MUCH worse description and example section. Seriously, HPDA is almost entirely ZC Es.

1.2 it has the word police clearly visible.
1.2 is good. 1.3 is a close second.
Lemming Cops is more sister trope than subtrope to HPDA. HPDA is cops that are bad drivers, while lemmings are cops that don't care about anyone's safety while chasing someone. They often overlap, but can occur separately as well. Particularly in video games, the lemmings often drive very well (or as good as any AI drivers in the game do) and require serious effort on the player's part to make them crash. Their behavior caused by Spiteful A.I., not bad driving.
Speaking of, Lemming Cops could use a better image too. The current doesn't even show them chasing anyone.
Clock is set.
Clock's up; locking for inactivity. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
What, Hollywood Police Driving Academy has no image? How come?
Well, the very first thing that comes to my mind is The Blues Brothers:
[1]◊, [2]◊, [3]◊, just for a start.
