Nothing could be more useful than a SWAT team on Segways. First, they can go up to 20 miles an hour without getting tired. Second, they can carry more equipment. What could possibly go wrong?Wait, what? The ability to easily step sideways, crawl on the ground, hide behind cars and kick in doors? We can't imagine a scenario where a SWAT team would need to do those things.
In fact, we have a few other offbeat transportation tools the police might want to look into:
-- Golf carts. This would save on fuel costs and police could receive training from Wentworth retirement community residents.
-- Tactical stilts. Stilts would allow police to see into second-story windows and serve as a disguise in the event of a circus parade.
-- Roller skates. Nothing says, "I want to play a positive role in the community" like the authorities getting around in the same fashion as 4th-grade girls.

Seem to remember the great idea of police patrolling a notorious park somewhere in the UK on rollerblades....Really cool idea,police looking like extras for Cliff Richard's re-release of "wired for sound"! That was until assailants cottoned on to the fact that all they had to do was keep on the grass!
