    Whelen ROTA-BEAM Family History

    No idea specifically but I want to say it was roughly one hour in. In spite of having a number of well known and up & coming actors it was pretty bad and a sleeper. After the first 15 minutes or so the only reason I kept watching was due to the era vehicles, lights, equipment, guns, early 70's...

    Whelen ROTA-BEAM Family History

    Just how common were the smaller Rota-Beams used as so-called "throw lights"? I recently watched Fuzz (1972) and caught a glimpse of a blue RB on one of the Boston PD cars in a later scene of the movie. I couldn't tell if it was a 66 or a Corporal, but definitely one the short models. It stood...

    Michigan State Police Beacons Are Awesome

    All that typing yet you failed to answer my simple question... Oops :p As for users, your tiny fraction of a percent is just that. In my own experience over the decades has shown my statement to be true. Across many municipality, state, agency, etc Heck many of the locals where I live now don't...

    Michigan State Police Beacons Are Awesome

    All stuff that is rarely used by the vast majority of EV operators (if even optioned by departments). And what is the acquisition and instal price of a typical top shelf bar with all of those options? See the MSP beacon side by side with a typical bar and the beacon stands out two-fold...

    Michigan State Police Beacons Are Awesome

    Its hard enough to get the stupids just to SEE an emergency vehicle and yield... Yet you expect them to actually notice its orientation??? o_O How are they "junk"? IME they are at least as effective... if not more effective than typical lightbars

    Michigan State Police Beacons Are Awesome

    I really do love the effectiveness and simplicity of them. There a few F-bombs in the video if you are at work or have little ones.

    10 minute drive from my house just across the border

    Im thinking this mounted centerline under our Carbon Cub :) But seriously were fine, for now at least. The theft, damage, and danger are truly shameful as much of it could be stopped if we as a nation had the will, but our course will not change until things get far worse. So until that day...

    10 minute drive from my house just across the border

    Our family ranch complex has a few satellite sections that aren't far from the border, each year we get more and more cartel traffic crossing parts of it. We've found everything from trails and camps, to drug caches and bodies. Being a working operation, ranch rifles and pistols were always the...

    Wanted Federal SLR Beacon

    I’ve seen the red ones and thought they were pretty ho-hum. But a neighboring FD picked up a new squad with a pair of ambers on the rear and I thought they were actually pretty effective in that color. Would like to pick up at least one to try out on one of new Frontiers I’m getting. PM me...

    Wanted FedSig Highlighter (halogen) or Model 100 (halogen)

    Last year a couple of my guys complained about their led mini-bars getting snowed over repeatedly, so Im looking for at least one Highlighter halogen bar in amber. Would prefer new, would prefer suction-magnet mount, must be standard/low speed. As a backup I may consider model 100's, also...

    Local LE POTUS escort running with green lights

    Buddy of mine sent these taken during POTUS motorcade leaving KAFB. Towards the end a slick top prowler came flying out running the usual R/B lights, but also had four green-LED heads on dash. Couldn't tell what agency but it had state government plates so it was local and not federal. Thought...
