Local Bobbies on bikes...

The blue flashing light would, of course, be on the top of the helmet, comedy style...

The lights on a modern bike should have two tones with two added tunes

I should be able to arrive at a job and Have "Bad Boys, What ya gonna do when they come for you?" or

"Whoop Whoop thats the sound of da Police" blasting out to clear my way!

I've seen airport security police in Schipol getting about on Segways. It is a fair distance from one end of the airport to the other.

They use them in some of our data centres in the 'states apparently.

Segways are illegal on Public roads unless registered and insured. They can be used on private property, which is why you see them at airports and railway stations etc...

Ooh tut The Segway is subject to traffic laws as it is classed as a powered vehicle. But you'll never get one licenced and insured as they don't meet safety requirements apparently (IANAE). I guess ebikes do.

Hat of to you for being a sport, although I can well imagine that a few gentle leg pulls could be a relief from some of the less savory aspects of being a copper.

That could come back to bite you on the bum if you come a cropper whilst in hot pusuit and possibly in full view of an audience. It might be embarrassing dusting yourself off to the tune of "Bad Boys"

It's a real shame that when we should be looking for alternatives to the polluting, congesting, expensive car that something like the segway is all but legeslated out of existence in this country. The more people on small, less polluting vehicles the better. Obviously I'd prefer it if everybody rode bikes but it's not for everyone. I for one would rather have an r.t.a involbing me and a segway than me and a car.

Honestly, this bloody country. Aha.

Ah...Wouldn't be the first time I've been embarrased in the course of my duties...includes a full on face plant which ended up with broken ribs...
