The term 'paddy wagon' is of English origin due to it's use to pick up drunk Irish louts (paddy's) from pub brawls.
It is commonly used across all prior English colonies including Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many others.
Contrary to other postings here, the term 'divvy van' is unbeknownst to any Australia on my extensive MSN list, nor have I heard it in the 47 years I've lived here, so I'd say it's someone attempting to coin a phrase.

Mel Gibson refers to a paddy wagon in a (intended) slip of the tongue (due to Australian roots) in the movie Signs, "We took some of your friends downtown already in the back of a paddy wagon."

I dont like riding in the back of paddy wagons, they dont have seatbelts and for some reason the cops always want to test their brakes when i'm in the back.

An old station wagon, festooned with rust and riding on bald snow tires. Known as a "paddy" wagon because it is driven by an illiterate, chain-smoking Irish-American blowse named "Erin" to pick up her alcoholic boyfriend "Kevin" and his severely retarded, anti-social brother "Seamus" from the bus station.
