These cops were feeling pretty confident that they’d catch the perp… until he jumped into a Fisher-Price Power Wheels convertible and got away.

Heehehe.
I dunno… I just laugh at this photo everytime I see it. It doesn’t really need a caption. ;p
reminds me of Paul Blart Mall Cop. And yess it makes me laugh too
*yes
i masturbate soooooooooooooooooo much
And you’re lost, aren’t you? FailBlog is three down to your left.
Win.
It reminds me of Paul Blart, too! XD
Agreed. Nobody can look cool riding those things. ^_^;;
Except woodland animals. [link]
They do look pretty cool.
Indeed, only small furry creatures and little old ladies look cool riding those things.
They are practicing for the security guard synchronized segue competition.
I admire their form but I’d have to take points off for unmatching costumes.
And unmatched segways.
that is why I think they are just practicing… don’t want to wear the costume until it is a dress rehearsal and competition time… of course this could be the ‘Security Guard Segue Olympics’… this would be the Marathon…
and it looks like Team rent-a-cop is winning…
Aren’t 90% of the teams “Team rent-a-cop”?
possibly. but there seems to be a team REAL cop too…
We don’t have rent-a-cops on Segways around here, but my wife and I took a trip to Indy recently and I was fascinated by the cops on Segways, I had thought it was legend only, until I saw them. Then I thought, I wonder how yhou chase someone up the stairs in those?
You’re going to foil all their well laid plans with logic like that.
I can’t see how someone in law enforcement would be more concerned about injury from chasing than from catching.
AHHHHH! On a segway you don’t actually have to CATCH anyone! Now it all makes sense, the segways, the cops on them, that dwarf in my book club who keeps stealing my opinions…
“Quick! Up the stairs!”
“No!”
“But Daleks don’t climb stairs!”
“They level the building.”
“…down the stairs!”
“Much better.”

Dean is having a wet dream…
How can you repect a cop who rides one of those?
“respect” and “cop” in the same sentence? does not compute!
Fakin’ Bacons ride these at the mall i work at. They’re also fat and look like if they tried to chase anyone up a flight of stairs they’d drop dead of a heart attack. Too much mall food, maybe?
Getting mall security to use these across the nation was probably because the rest of the people they THOUGHT would buy it was so smart they’d save themselves 5k and walk….
Because a cop riding a segway is always leaning toward justice.
That was wonderful.
You made me laugh so hard I got the hiccups.
Damn you.
Not after seeing Weird Al’s “White and Nerdy” Video!
Best use of a Segway… EVER!
One cop is real, the other one is probably just a mall security guard.
Segways go faster than Fisher-Price Power Wheels, unless the Power Wheels are upgraded to 24 volts or otherwise enhanced. They will also need to replace the wheels with real tires or add traction bands. The plastic is pretty flimsy, but the axles are strong steel. The perpetrator should strive to keep their weight over the axles. The rear axle is considerably stronger than the front wheels. Power Wheels do not corner well at even moderate speeds. An adult perpetrator can get the vehicle to turn sharply by dragging a foot outside of the vehicle. Use both feet for brakes.
Segways can go up an escalator, it is just really dangerous. Assuming a perpetrator is sitting with their weight over the rear axle, they could back up onto an escalator and shift their weight even further back. Compared to riding a Power Wheels toy backwards up an escalator, riding a Segway on an escalator is safe. The safe way with either vehicle, is to get off the vehicle, and put it on the step or steps above and in front of you.
In a mall, the most powerful weapon in a chase is the walkie talkie. This lets mall-cops on the first floor coordinate with mall-cops on other floors, and with mall-cops in the parking lot. If the one being chased goes up an escalator, they can be met at the top by other mall cops. If they try to go outside, they can be met by the parking lot mall cops.
Most thieves are pretty dumb. A mall cop can strand them on the escalator by hitting the emergency stop.
Is that a mall near the capital? The red and white logo above the map looks sort of like the outline of the capital.
For being a boring troll, that was an amusing read.
Be that as it may (one being real and the other a mall cop), they both have weapons strapped on – either a real gun or a taser. Given that, I don’t think I would want to piss either of them off.
those both look like glocks to me…
and i hope i don’t ever see a rent-a-cop with a REAL gun… that would be too much…
Ubr, not sure those are Glocks, unable to determine without seeing to top of the gun as this is where the Glock is most notable by its characteristic block look.
Glocks are however extremely nice weapons and very reliable, hence why so many police forces carry them as department issue.
I only remember what a Glock looks like when the bad end is pointed at me. *That’s* a memory that doesn’t fade quickly!
(The cops took the Glock away and destroyed it, and did other bad things to the unhappy customer who pointed it at me. Yay!)
Yeah, but I bet you don’t use that “No soup for you!” line very much anymore…
lol!
the grips sure look unergonomic like a glock…
.
and the real reason why cops use glocks are because they don’t jam. cops are not well known for keeping their guns well oiled and cleaned… hence why the military uses berettas and the cops carry glocks… berettas are nail drivers… i love my 92FS…
You’d not expect them to carry nickle plated sissy pistols now, would you?
nor would i expect them to carry whistles and little baton thingys… it always amazes me that cops in london aren’t beaten up more often…
This is the reason. [link]
*awards a win to Jane*
*adds win to her Mud Wrestling championship belt and crown awarded to her by Diss* Thankies.
I know how to get that belt off you but that would be telling…
haha, that movie is pretty funny… but i still like shawn of the dead better…
You’ve got red on you.
Win!
Love that movie!
That movie is soooo amazing! I love it. It’s on my top ten.
Never shot the 92FS, but I have shot the Taurus PT92 (pretty much the same thing) and absolutely loved it. Me I am all about the Glock 19 and the Springfield Armory XD 45 ACP
Do they not have much armed security in CA? Surprising to me.
not armed mall guards… armored truck guys are the exception…
Huh. Must be a regional variation.
or detroit during christmas… but during the season there isn’t enough room to run a roomba (TM) let alone a segway.
Wow. You’ve clearly given this issue a lot of thought.
The logo on the directory looks like the logo for BWI airport (link). So, one local police and one airport security? That would explain the deadly weapons for both.
I know that I’d sure like a Segway the next time I have to navigate from the gate to the luggage claim area…
A Segway would be cool on a moving walkway!
OMFG YES! This would be cooler than most amusement park rides!
Those things are loads of fun in and of themselves. I could spend hours at the airport just going back and forth on those things. Next time I have a layover…
Liked the read for one and loved the idea of a pimped out Fisher-Price car…
Now that’s the way to troll. BT, you should offer a seminar or something.
He probably has the latest in personal safety equipment – a kevlar jock strap..
Ugh! Nesting fail… sorry
You’re on topic, informative, and haven’t tossed around any paranoid delusions or personal attacks. I feel that you are misinformed as to what the word “troll” means.
Are you sure that the caption is on topic? No one else had written about it when I wrote my comment.
I think you’re wrong on both counts: Not boring and not a troll.
Thanks for the post: We learned from your efforts, and, considering
you didn’t say anything bad about any of us, or make up a Segway
conspiracy theory, you’re among friends.
Even though you didn’t, we often wander off topic all the time around here.
…and sometimes we even put “often” and “all the time” in the
same sentence!
*headdesk*
WOW!! you have put WAY too much thought into this… You are either a security guard, a cop, or a segway dealer…
I’m going with “the host of the new show, Pimp My Power Wheels”.
LOL!!! Indeed! (Adding it to the list of possibilities… )
It isn’t about the looks of the Power Wheels, it is about the performance.
Children’s electric ride-on toys have batteries that wear out after a few years. This is fine for most families, because the child outgrows the toy after a few years. Thus the toys can often be pulled out of the trash. Or people will just donate the well used toy.
They make excellent platforms for low budget hobby robotics. The good stuff is all on the rear axle. It has two motors, one for each wheel. Motors are much cheaper than differentials and drive train components. I’ve built a few robots based on Barbie Jeep rear axles.
Each motor has a bit more than one horsepower when driven at 12 volts from a high current source. Mattel limits the current to the motors in several different ways. A vehicle with four wheel drive (ie. made with the rear axles from two toys) can have somewhat more than 4 horsepower. 4 horsepower is not a lot of power for many applications, however, it is way more power than the stock Mattel wheels can use effectively.
There is a version of the Segway that is designed for use as a robot base. it has electronic interfaces to the controls, and is missing the handle bar and other parts used by human riders. This stripped down Segway is as expensive as a normal Segway.
Roombas are available without the vacuum cleaner, for use as a robot base. I don’t recall if they cost more or less than the regular Roomba.
I bet you’re a RIOT at parties…
Segways are pretty fast depending on what key you have (they use color-coded keys that determine the top speed). My friend used one at his job (yeah he was a rent-a-cop lol) and said the blue key will allow them to go as fast as 30 mph.
Boring Troll,
Are you a mall cop?
Yep, that’s the icon for BWI (balt/wash int’l airport). Good eyes!
“Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2: The Chase!”
One of those guys got to have the handy-dandy storage compartment slash goods protector. I wonder if the other one is jealous.
Why should be be worried, he probably has the latest in personal safety equipment – a kevlar jock strap..
Oh FFS! It looks like PK is having issues today.. this comment was a reply to Rho.

I’m going to go back to bed.. cya!
S’okay, Eddie Dear: I’m just contagious, is all.
Sorry ’bout the infection…!
You realize that pretty much exists, right? [link]
“Galls® Ballistic Vest”??
Uh, George, we need to talk to that guy down in the copyright department.
I would think that the “Optional Level III Groin Protector” would be an option that the guys can appreciate!
Have you seen the one with the optional salad-plate-sized rodeo belt buckle? It’s practically a wardrobe must!
Your mom has a kevlar jock strap…
A lady at my church has one of these. She rides it to services on Sundays.
I’d love to be chased by cops in Segways!
That’s just a sordid fetish for men in uniform and technology…
I like your style…
Our campus police have those now, and it’s hard to take them seriously. Those things look ridiculous!
These are actual police at BWI Airport. The reason for the different uniforms is that one is in regular dress (the gray) and the other is in the SRT team uniform, the BDU style
I thought that Segway’s for cops would be a short lived anomaly. I was dead wrong. This is the silliest equipment ever for police. Police budgets are suffering? WALK!
Yay for Seattle Police!
