Chicago cops receive Segway scooters
The police are often one of the most misunderstood public servants, and it is no mean task being in their position to ensure that peace and security prevails. Chicago’s finest have received Segway scooters to ease their job when patrolling high-priority locations like O'Hare and Midway airports. Up to $500,000 has been allocated to purchase these crime-fighting machines that coast at a speedy 12.5mph while on the beat. Not only that, a taller stature that comes with the machine gives the advantage to the police when looking for a face in a crowd. Does this mean that those joining the force no longer have to endure any fitness test?

Y pronto veremos así a todas los cuerpos de policía aquí en España.

Los más rápidos fueron los del cuerpo de policía de Torremolinos. Los demás deben tomar ejemplo.

Muchos, me consta, que ya lo están estudiando muy seriamente.

Se cubre una mayor área de trabajo. Los agentes son más fácilmente visibles. Se cansan menos. Son más ecológicos. No hacen ruido al acercarse a los cacos. Son más económicos que cualquier otro medio de locomoción (excepto la bicicleta). Pueden llevarse el SEGWAY en el coche y patrullar por otras zonas más distantes. Etc... Etc...

Ánimo y,... a disfrutarlo.

Have you *seen* Chicago cops? There's quite a few that obviously don't have to pass any kind of fitness test.
