How come police cars are usually painted Black and White?

Answer

It's a long standing tradition. People like it.

Depends on where you are: there are no black and white police cars in Australia. Most are white with blue markings (blue and white checks are associated with police in this country) while highway patrol cars are often unmarked and in whatever colours come from the manufacturer. Some patrol cars are factory colour plus dayglow strips (presumably for visibility) with another strip in blue/white checks. This varies from state to state, too.
