next - cops on roller blades or scooters.
Having dealt with Atlanta PD before I'm not suprised.
I understand they were on loan to the PD, but I sure hope they aren't actually thinking about buying these things. $9,000 would buy a few decent mountain bikes or train a K-9, buy ballistic vests, radios, ammo, etc. That's a whoop of money to spend on a novelty item, just to be the "first" to use it.
All that I'm going to say is that once I begin working as a police officer, there is no *****ing way I'll be riding one of those....
(good thing those things don't work in snow or large potholes....)
sorry... but i get the feeling that this is jsut a big hype.... its really not that cool or new of an idea..... i find it kinda.... embarassing that people are going crazy about these things....
All I have to say is it should have been a DC cop...
Me too. Thus, I begin the "Get Jim a Segway Campaign." I'll be accepting donations as of now. Check or money order made payable to:Quote:

Sorry, no CODs, exchanges or refunds.
A penny for your thoughts, but I expect change...
