AR15 on LEO Motorcycle

[RobGR]

Per my buddy at Echo Arms, spotted this the other day during lunch in Tustin/Irvine, motorcycle LEO with an AR15 or M16 as they couldn't tell if it had a fun button.



Now I have seen shotguns, but never this. Interesting enough to share to say the least and packing some serious heat for traffic enforcement in Tustin.

Biden would say the officer is under gunned now. Should go back to the shotgun.

lol.

Weapons of war don't belong on our streets. I wonder who he is at war with?

There are pictures of a few of these motorcycles from the rose parade. Looked to be semi auto with 20 round mags

It's for the children. I walked by a similar setup one time(can't remember the city) and the device they used to secure it to the bike would still allow access to eject and remove the mag

There is a cycle in Newbery Park / Thousand Oaks with an AR on it as well. Its a different mount. The AR stands upright. I could tell it was an SBR, but couldnt see if it was auto or not.

Like to have one of those for my bike ..............Hmmmm wonder if that's considered a locked container ???
Patterson Ca. motor cops carry those as well , very small central valley town .

Huh, so it is an AR15. Thanks for the info. They didn't want to get too close to it, don't need to give an excuse to get chewed out over nothing, although the one time I did ask an officer about his service weapon, he was more than happy enough to chat about it.

Curious to see that one.

A negligent discharge (very unlikely to happen, but you never know) on the one pictured above would not be desirable!

I saw the exact same thing driving on the freeway in Sacramento a while back.

I live in Thousand Oaks, I have seen them. Definitely an SBR, short barrel, collapsible stock with high cap mag (Pmag?) and what looks like a red dot sight. They're mounted in some metal lock device that blocks access to the trigger, maybe also the mag release. Someone with a screwdriver could make off with the red dot pretty quick though. They should probably switch to torx or something.

I wondered why they would need such things in this quiet little city. But I remembered that there are more than the average number of bank robberies around here (easy freeway access).

So if they can have these SBRs to defend themselves, why can't we?

[RobGR]

Don't start that debate, Chris. Ha. But yes, I agree.

So he's pretty much muzzling his right leg for his whole shift.

That would look pretty good on my ATC while I'm riding the dunes.

[Summers]

I have seen this on a few of the Clovis PD bikes as well, not the same lock box but when I first saw it I was more then suprised.

The Colt's are mounted just in front of the right knee on the Honda's here.

[swage]

Interesting that its pointing at his ***/leg.
