i always thought powered peelers would be a good idea in 
any sort of cyberpunkish future where crime spirals out 
of control as urban population density and the rich-poor 
gap rises. based on existing british cozzers, i would 
paint them blue, with white checked stripes. add an 
ornage dot and some big numerals on the back for 
recognition from aircraft, and a big blue flashing light 
on the head or shoulder. in short, The Powered Arm Of 
The Law is more like a current police car than a 
policeman.

Tom

nb 'peelers' is a (somewhat antiquated) british term for policeman
(police were invented by Robert Peel). i think it's a cockney term, but
it's a good one.

ps i bet a pint someone will argue that peel didn't invent the police.
