I was just surfing on the local police website and I spotted the link
for the mountain bike cop unit
(http://www.calgarypolice.ca/inside/smbike.html) and I started
thinking that job might be cool.

So, I was wondering if any mountain bike cops frequent the newsgroup?

It might be a cool way to do some good for both yourself and the
community.

I rode with a guy once who use to be a forest ranger. His job was to ride
his mtb and patrol the park. He'd also kick out illegal mtbrs when the park
was closed. I think this was somewhere in California.

I ocassional rode with a roadie who was a regular cop. I asked him once
what happens when he hassled by cars while riding his bike. These idiots
obiviously don't know he's a cop. He said he just memorizes their license
number. Later he'll put on his uniform go to the idiot's house and say "Do
you remember me? I'm the guy on the bike you try to run off the road".
Too bad he wasn't around when I get hassled. Being a cop is cool.
