            So they spent $90,000 on scooters that can go fucking 12 mph? Yah, they're going to catch people on those things! what a waste of money..
            SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

              Who couldn't get away from a segway? their top speed is 12mph. They are also 9k a peice, not exactly something i can see the cops parking somewhere to chase someone on foot.

                What happens if they're chasing someone and the person runs up some stairs?

                Do they just leave a $9000 Segway behind and run after the guy?
                Just give'r

                  actually the speed limit is 15 mph on roadways, 7 mph on sidewalks

                      funny you say that the smae company that makes segways made the first wheelchair that goes up stairs, maybe that will be a special police modification

                        Well what do they do when they get out of their cars and chase someone? They leave a $30,000 car behind. You think anyone is going to steal one of those from a cop if they park it? First of all they didn't buy these, the company that made them lent them to test them out. They're a 3rd of the price of a car and you bitch about it? Fuck, they're saving money! The top speed can go 15 mph. A human can go 20 mph, but only for a short distance so they could catch someone if it was on the street, it might just take a minute or two.

                                who are they gonna catch, speeding cripples in wheelchairs?

                                a bike cop tried to pull me over one time, except he couldnt pedal fast enough.

                                now if only the Ga state patrol would start using those things.....

                                  A new Yamaha scooter is only like $2,000

                                  A scooter can go faster and farther then a Segway

                                  Segway = $9,000

                                  I don't see these things becoming anything more then an expensive toy.
                                  Just give'r

                                    It's funny how you guys think they have to be attached to this thing if there's a pursuit. "Does it jump fences?" Does a car jump a fence? Fuck, they get off if that happens. This is meant to troll up and down CITY sidewalks. You can't drive a scooter on a sidewalk in the city.

                                        but a car is fast enough to go down the ally right behind your ass and then get around the coner by the time you jump into the front yard (baltimore cops are lazy) i think you meant you can drive a car down sity sidewalks and if that is what your saying then you are very wrong i've done it drunk plenty of times.

                                        thats what is also funny ppl say "well police leave thier cars and they don't get stolen" well ummm...... hate to break the new to you but it's been done before, shit on our local beltway (695) they had a fake police car setup to slow ppl down without someone actually being there, no engine or anything just body, frame, wheels and lights, ya know what THE FUCKER WAS STOLEN!!! which means someone had to come by in a tow truck and steal it, and you think one of these segways aren't gonna get jacked??? i dunno how they do shit in GA but up in bmore nothing is off limits

                                          If a cop is cruisin around some bad neighborhoods on a Segway and he has to get off and chase some bad guy on foot. He's gonna have to leave the Segway behind. It will take all of 30 seconds for some punk to hop on that thing and ride off into the sunset. There goes $9,000 down the hole.

                                            well you guys better get use to this segway,,,
                                            in 5 years everyone is gonna have them,,,
                                            i myself would be looking forward to having one


                                            they are replacing the police on horses with the segway and using them for their walking patrols in the downtown area,,saves them alot of money rather than using horses,,,,

                                            off course there not gonna be cruising on the roads pulling over traffic violaters,,stupid

                                              from what i was told,, it has a special grip on the handle bars in which it will only allow that driver to operate it

                                                  No. But bike cops always tie a rope to the fucker and drag them behind the bike on the way to the station. Geez.

                                                    they are replacing the police on horses with the segway and using them for their walking patrols in the downtown area,,saves them alot of money rather than using horses,,,,
                                                    Dude, where do you live? Cops on Horses? Maybe in Texas?

You think anyone is going to steal one of those from a cop if they park it? First of all they didn't buy these, the company that made them lent them to test them out. They're a 3rd of the price of a car and you bitch about it? Fuck, they're saving money! The top speed can go 15 mph. A human can go 20 mph, but only for a short distance so they could catch someone if it was on the street, it might just take a minute or two.
                                                            I use to steal MP's Jeep when I was in the Army..
                                                            My thoughts were why pay for a Taxi when I could drive drunk to another bar.

                                                            God, young, dumb, and full of cum...
                                                            Lucky I didn't kill someone and am still alive..
