    Sure, they ARE nerdy and profoundly so. Those idiotic bicycle helmets and politically correct "shorts" also look ridiculous. On the other hand, they have guns... and backup. Rule #1: Don't mess with the Man! (Even if he rides a 3-wheeler.) Remember: he can blow your head clean off for no reason at all and get away with it. Probably get a promotion.

    I work next door to the FBI building in Washington, DC. The FBI police have a couple of these. They work really well for patrolling long DC blocks, but they look just as dumb -- even dumber, actually, with their emergency LEDs flashing and little siren tweeting.

    Detroit still has a police force??? How can they not have a few old police cars just for this weekend each year. Honestly what are these guys going to do on their little scooters? Would you not do a burn out with one of these behind you? I assure you if I were in a muscle car and this twerp were behind me I would smoke him out for sure.

    So now, with three wheels, they just need a seat or something so they don't get tired from standing up all the time. And then a cover or lid or something so they don't get soaked when it rains, and maybe 4 wheels, you know. for better stability and traction--oh. Wait.
    Never mind.

    I'd much rather have cops riding these scooters than sitting in their patrol cars all day. It's silly to me that cops feel like they need to drive big, 'roided out cars and intimidate people just to do their job. At least something like this puts them in and around the people they serve, where they can interact with people and maybe even put a smile on someone's face. In fact, I'd go as far as suggesting they paint these things sky blue and sticker them with happy faces or flowers.

    @weatherman: Touche. On the flip side, a cop in Atlanta lost control of his (probably fell asleep) and it rolled down the road and hit my brother's rental Kia Rondo-which was waiting at a stop light.

    Not even a little street cred for those rims? Well they may look like suckers on the road, but it gives them six inches over most people on foot. They have a commanding presence, Gob Bluth style.

    If a policeman on his police Segway doesn't get respect, they need to step it up and possibly use bigger guns. Fear this.

    Wearing shorts and a bicycle helmet doesn’t help the authority situation either.
