Should police officers be made to wear blue and red flashing lights on their heads, and make a siren noise, whilst on foot pursuit?
Currently in operation in South Africa and Germany.
New York State is considering the opition.

So, that would be amusing.
It would prove who was a police officer as opposed to people in costume... it isn't a bad idea, I just know I would be distracted by the hat...

Of course. The officer should be competent in the wail, yelp, hi-lo and air horn. What an intelligent question.
"Currently in operation in South Africa and Germany"
"New York State is considering the opition"?
Where did you get that info? The National Inquirer?

It can alert the public when the police officers turn their hats on, if they are chasing someone, so maybe it's a benefit. But other than that, it would cost abit of money too, and it may be a while for the public to get used to the police men's new look.

Yes- it is indeed currently in operation in Germany, and i would have to agree with the idea Millions of people die each year when police officers are on foot, in pursuit of a criminal. Once, an officer ran into a fat american and died.

Forget the lights and the sirens crap.I won't be happy until I see a body cam and power mic on them while on duty,all up linked to a satellite beamed to a review board of civilians.
If your cam and mic is off while on duty your fired,you can never be a cop in the USA for life.
This will protect them and the people.Don't want it,then don't be a cop.

what for? that makes no sense at all. i have no idea why they would even be considering it. i'm sorry, but if i was a cop and chasing someone on foot, my last thought would be to turn my hat light and siren on.

you've got to be kidding ! I can see it in my head and it seems hysterical ! Wouldn't the siren cause deafness ? ("Bear", wouldn't you want to turn off the camera when you went to the bathroom ?)

Tell me that this is a joke! It MUST be a joke! Funny, the image in my head, though.

That is ridiculous! How could you POSSIBLY take a LEO seriously if he/she is walking around dressed like that?
