What happens when the perp goes up the stairs, and the officer, so used to standing there doing nothing while his machine rolls him around, steps off and realizes he has forgotten how to use his legs.

Police should command authority and respect.

But those things look so incredibly laughable that you might as well put all the cops in bunny ears and tu-tus. How can you respect an authority figure on a Segway with training wheels?

I don't get it.

On the Memorial ride for Randy Simmons recently, every officer i spoke to on a bike was saying how they aren't trained for the kind of riding we do. Some were winded after a mile or 2. On the Fuck Yeah Ride, one officer told me that after the May Day fiasco, the LAPD wanted more officers to be on bikes. That was short lived when after the first week of training, several officers got hurt, broke bones, etc. and cost the city lots of $$ in medical bills.

In addition, when asked about exercise, i was told that the officers are not required to stay in shape (at least not mandated) and any exercise training is up to each officer.

So, this certainly won't help them once they get off these things.

Wow, I saw one of those when I was up there last weekend.
It wasn't LAPD though, just site security for some area.
I thought it was a fluke. That thing might be good for getting around a movie set, but not the streets.

It's sad times for the state of our police force if all it takes is one week of bike training to break them. I'm sure most 12 year olds could last longer then that.

Maybe they should do the first week on tricycles, to prevent injury. Then slowly work their way up to bicycles, wearing full body armor at first, and a support officer at their side to catch them.

Eight months of academy training(after 6-12 months of various, pre-hiring processes), and/or 1-2 years working a correctional facility(depending on which department).
All so you could hit the streets on the three-wheeled, chariot of the long arm of the law!!!!!
I'd rather be patrolling the streets on a Harley or a Haro thank you very much!!

riss: GOB all the way for sure! I'll refrain from posting The Final Countdown again.

I've seen the The MTA cops in Union Station riding Segways for a few years now. What advantage does this Coupe DeVille offer?

All donut jokes and crushed peds aside; what really bothers me is that they are wasting their budget (our money) on this stupid shit. And I'm sure their budget is not in excess, which means that they're diverting funds from more worthwhile expenses (pretty much anything else).

What's more, this speaks volumes about the police force that needs this thing. "We frequently lose foot chases, our officers can't operate bicycles, stairs are overrated and damned if our egos aren't inflated enough—let's put everyone on rolling podiums."

God help us if those fucking things have built-in PA systems.

I have to kindly and respectfully disagree with you Mr. Hair.
I read through this thread, and the MTA building was the point I was going to make/

I have seen these at the Union Station/MTA headquarters. I observed them to be brilliant, in the fact that they could get to a call with in the station quickly, safely, and without causing a co-motion. I sat by the fish tanks for about 15 minutes one day, and watched them standing on them and then manuvering on them from location to location. They are fast, quite, and didn't cause any alarm among the people in the corridor. They also gave a height advantage by being higher amongst the crowd.

That is just my take on it. I'm usually wrong about these things, but that was my observation.

Do I still get a Hug, Eric?

Two nights ago there was a LAPD-bike-officers-only "sting" at LaCienega and the 10. The traffic there is always stagnant, it takes like 10-20 min to drive less than a mile. There were at least 15 officers on Specialized MTB/Hybrids and they were having fun pulling cars over. They were acually out in between lanes having fun and laughing at each other. They were mostly young officers, so I assume thats why their fun-bones weren't broken yet. I almost wished I was a cop for a second.

by not causing an alarm. everybody knows the type of tension a group of cops running across an area can cause. Also, the officers energy is not extracted by having to run to the sense of an incident. This leaves them to have more energy, and not be so much in a "sympathetic (fight or flight) nerve" response mode. Possibly allowing them to make a judgement in a situation that is not so rash.

if you have ever been caught by Bike Cops, you may have experienced
the quick and stealth operation that it is. A friend of mine and I where up in Seattle, (this was before LA had bike cops), he had just scored some party favors. We where sitting in a car in a parking lot, he opened up the bindle, and was about to partake, when out of nowhere, two bike cops are at our window. No warning, no way of knowing they where coming. It totally sucked. I for one am not for more bike cops, especially when they are used for, THE WAR ON PEOPLES FREEDOMS.

@sexy.
Not to get off topic, but the stealthiness of a bicycle kinda works as a double-edged, sword.
For instance, that same tactic that killed your joy up in StarSoft Land, could be utilized by myself to infiltrate a long, forgotten, abandoned structure.
Only reason I bring this up is due to a conversation I had with a non-riding, friend.
After shooting down my idea of riding bikes to explore ghost-towns, he suggested quads.
I then had to remind him that this involved trespassing and that motors are kind of loud.
Not to mention the F-250+trailer+tools+extra fuel you've got to carry.

Until you hop a curb and they get stuck because the wheel diameter isn't big enough to go over, and it's surely too heavy to to bunny hop this thing.
