Have you seen the photos of the new "T3" Segway-like scooter our city and Department of General Services Police will now be using downtown? Uggh! The local newspaper says:
"It's starting to hit the public safety community by storm," said Sgt. Matthew Warehime, of the state Department of General Services Maryland Capitol Police.
A more appropriate sentence might have been, "They're starting to hit the public community at up to twenty miles per hour. Wham!" Eegads! In a city originally made for walking, where it is increasingly difficult to walk anywhere including sidewalks, we are now making it increasingly dangerous to walk in public places and on sidewalks--because law enforcement officers supposedly protecting the public will be riding around in these modern-day chariots!
The funniest thing is the state official who is quoted as saying they were purchased because they are energy efficient! And I guess walking is not??? How many steps to the donut do these things get? My first prediction for the New Year is that a citizen will be accidentally run down and severely injured by one of these things. You read it here first! See the article and photo at Danger!
