Still don't understand why cops only wear vests today. Most of them are level II or IIIA which rifle rounds will blow straight thru.
If I was a cop I would have rifle plates in my trunk

True. But you may still die. The energy has to go somewhere and if the plate is stopping it, the energy will still be dissipated into your chest. Broken ribs can stab vital organs.
This is the common argument against "body armor." They act like a person shot in a plate in a plate carrier won't react if shot. It will hurt like a mofo and they will have to react in some way. Sure, they may not die immediately but precious time is bought and a distraction is created. The game plan of the shooter has to change, and that's the important part.
(Not saying you believe any of this, just making a point about plate carriers. )

Can't you put a plate in the front and back?
