Rochester Police on Segways

The Rochester Police Department now uses Segways for select patrol officers. How do you feel about this? Does it make officers seem more approachable? Does it make them elitist west-coast snobs? Does it make high-tech, futuristic policing seem more natural to the public? Are they cool? You decide…

Interestingly, NY is among 6 states that have not yet passed legislation permitting the use of Segways on sidewalks or roads. http://www.ghsa.org/html/stateinfo/laws/segway_laws.html

  1. Bad boys bad boys, watcha gonna do?
    Watcha gonna do when they come for you? On a Segway… lol.

    Segways kind of make cops look silly…like they are on a skateboard, but Back to the Future style.

    How fast can they even go? oh 12-15mph, they just said it. Wait, why isn’t a bike good enough?
