And just to throw one more thing in the mix Joe. Id like you to really sit down and think what the siren really means to some of us that are "real law enforcement" and then wonder why we think the way we do about playing with one.
To us it means, running hot to a shooting, fatal car crash, child drowning, domestic assault, man with a gun, jumper on a bridge, missing child, chasing a guy that just shot the clerk at the BP. and being across town and hearing a OFFICER DOWN on the radio. And escorting a fallen Officer to his final resting place
And one closest to my heart, chasing a guy on a bike and catching him and then he turns on you and runs you over on your bike and causing your career to be in jeopardy cause of your massive injuries.
So JOE ask your self, is playing with a siren really cool or is it disrespectful to those who earned the right to do it in public. Its not a toy, don't treat it as one.
A siren means bad things are happening to a human being to those in this field.
And I also agree with Jim. If its for a parade or cruise and its official I'm cool with it.
If I offended anyone with this post that's to bad. Leave the God Dam siren at home or don't hook it up if you cant be responsible rep of the hobby.
Thats 20 years or Law Enforcement. Comments welcome
