isn't there a town called "fucking" somewhere, maybe in Germany? do the have the "fucking polizei"?
It is (was) in Austria. They changed their name to Fugging because people kept stealing their signs. They are also way too small for having their own police force (only 108 people live there). Also, Austrian police cars usually do not feature the city name on the car. And if they did, It would probably be "Polizei Fucking", not "Fucking Polizei" because this word order is more natural to native speakers. If you wanted to say police from/of Fucking, you'd say "Fuckinger Polizei".
There used to be, in Austria. They even had a beer, called "Fucking Hell". And Pornhub gave free premium subscriptions to the Fucking citizens.
Until 2020. Then they renamed their little town to "Fugging". I don't think it's a coincidence that the whole world went to shit pretty much right after.
Austria I believe
