Everyone, pay attention. This guy is a TOTAL MORON. He was given AMPLE TIME to prove his claims, and now he comes with links that STILL don't validate his claims. Watch how I make him look like an even bigger idiot (which is something I didn't know were possible.)
In regards to the first link, how does ANYTHING in that link validate your position? In fact it validates what I have been saying.
Here is an excerpt:
In fact, several U.S. cities have either already implemented or are seriously looking into vehicle mounts for laptop computers -- but not just in commercial vehicles: The country's police, sheriff departments, and military-based units, both domestic and overseas, are installing very innovative, state-of-the-art laptops designed specifically for in-vehicle public safety use -- right now.
What have I been saying? I have been saying all squad cars do NOT have computers. This is VALIDATED by the article stating
SEVERAL CITIES have them AND that some are still
CONSIDERING THEM. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING SOMETHING YOU DON'T HAVE IT YET.
But, your claim is ALL but 10% of squad cars have computers AND video cameras. LMAO!
Again, lets take a look at something else presented in the article:
Though many larger city's cop cars are already equipped with laptops, they're limited in terms of on-the-spot information. With the newer, "rugged " laptops, officers can now easily file case reports from their cars, look up a specific arrest warrant, outstanding citations. and otherwise shadowy information criminals don't want them to know.
Again, what have I been saying? I've been saying a lot of squad cars have computers that are
LIMITED in what they can bring up and your article EVEN SAYS IT! LMAO!!!!!!
Here let us look at another:
And one more police unit will really appreciate these laptops: Dispatchers will be under less pressure and have fewer problems with miscommunication.
Haven't I not spoke about this? The delay times and relying on dispatch for information?
Sorry guy, you loose on that one. But, I'm going to butcher every link you posted. Lets go to the next link.
Lets pay attention to the opening statement.
Chicago police officers will soon be able to get mug shots, arrest records and conviction information on suspects while still in their squad cars as officials begin installing new laptop computers in more than 2,000 vehicles
Dearest, dummy this article (like the one before it) is dealing with specific cities. The Chicago police department does NOT represent 90% of this nations police force.
Now lets take a look at something else from that article:
While squad cars are already equipped with laptop computers, Huberman said the information those computers can access is very limited. The current computers allow officers to look up a specific arrest warrant or automobile registration, but the new computers will allow them to find any outstanding warrants, citations or vehicle registrations for a suspect, Huberman said.
Again, the older computers have access to LIMITED information (something I already stated), but the article says
NOTHING about criminal record access.
And now lets finish this up and give a bit of insight as to why some cities still are behind:
The new program will be funded by a $9 million grant from the Department of Homeland Security, according to Daley.
Again, this validates what I have been saying. They have the MONEY to pay for the system. Departments that are strapped for cash and NOT getting anything from homeland security grants or other financial outlets/sources are NOT able to upgrade.
Link two destroyed lets go to link three.
FLAT ROCK -- Digital cameras and laptop computers soon will be in use in the city's police cars.
Officials voted 6-1 at a recent City Council meeting to purchase seven digital video cameras and unanimously approved the purchase of six laptop computers to be used in patrol cars.
SEVEN CAMERAS AND SIX LAP TOPS?
LMAO!!!!!! Out of how many squad cars for that city? Oh yeah...THAT CITY. Again, this article and what is going on in that city does NOT reflect what is going on in the departments in the u.s.
Let's take a look at another part of your link that validates what I previously said:
Pre-sently, the department's squad cars do not contain laptops and are outfitted with outdated VCRs.
:dead: x your entire argument. It just went down the drain with that one, junior. What have I been saying? Police departments have outdated equipement, and the ones that do have access to new toys do so because they have the means to do it.
Finally, lets validate something else I said, and of course we'll use your link to do it:
The seven units will be purchased from Kansas- based Kustom Signals Inc. through a three-year buy-to-own agreement.
Yearly payments of $15,468 per year at 7 percent interest will amount to a total cost of $43,435...The new laptops will be purchased from Electronic Computer Services Inc. of Woodhaven at a cost of $19,832.
Again, what have I said? VIDEO CAMERAS are more expensive than the lap tops. Now, use the oatmeal between your head to answer he question.
If video cameras are more expensive than computers, and the majority of squad cars have outdated computers, how can 90% of this nations police department have video and new computers if they don't have the means (or barely have the means) to afford it? :dead:
Finally, your last link:
I'll murder you with one excerpt (although I can post 4)
The project to outfit cars with laptops is currently on hold until these issues are resolved. Half of the planned 121 computers have been purchased.
(emphasis mine)
lmao!!! Your entire argument is down the drain.
