All state-of-the-art technology: the big number on the top for helicopter recognition during 'riot situations'; the regulation police-issue revolver, that they always swear blind they never carry, in its usual clip beneath the glovey, the speed trap monitor thingy; and an unholy host of computer-assisted in-car crime-busting paraphernalia.
