Nothing Says I Live In A Police State Like The T3 Motion

Submitted by applextrent

No, not Terminator 3. I'm talking about the T3 Motion, a new electronic 3-wheeled police... scooter?

Via jalopnik.com

According to the T3 Motion website, the T3 Motion is the future of mobility, the next generation of law enforcement, and the stupidest looking thing I've seen since the ninja motorcycle cops in my hometown.

Do you know how embarrassing it is to get pulled over by 5'4 ninja cop?

Considering most officers who use two or three wheeled vehicles all seem to be considerably short people, nothing says crowd control like the 8-inch platform offered by the T3. That means a cop can finally look me in the eye while writing me a ticket for "littering." Or as I like to call it "fishing," getting a stick and tying some fishing wire and one of those plastic soda ringed holders to it then tossing the plastic soda ring-holder off the side of the pier (works every time).

Hahaha, all the "Public Safety" officers at my school ride those fucking three wheeled things. They really do look like fucking morons.

I'm sure evil doers all over the world will be peeing themselves. Now cops have a rather uncomfortable looking bastard child of a roman chariot and segway that probably my granny could out run...
Personally if I see some cops on it I'll be compelled to break the law one way or the other just because only a monumental dose of bad luck could get me arrested

The cops use a similar thing here in Santa Barbara. They're so goofy looking, I can't help but laugh.

It's always the overweight cops who ride them too. I never see the athletic looking ones on anything but their bicycles. Cause and effect, I suppose.

Things are weird here anyway. The meter readers use Segways.

The bad this is being in such a silly vehicle gives the cop a big chip on his shoulder. My roommate was recently arrested for double parking by a cop in a meterchecker eletronic 4 wheel thing painted as a cop car. Course the backtalking is never good but I think if the cop had been in a crusier it would have been different.

Hey, it's faster than a fat cop. But slower than a slightly athletic criminal.
Maybe they're using these to crack down on big business executives, cruising around on their segways after a long day of miss-spending company dollars.
