    Testing the protection provided to a motor officer

    Interesting article on the process they did to test penetration and the best cover solutions.

    Test results can be used to develop motorcycle law enforcement officer tactics for hostile confrontations

      Poor Beemer!
      It faithfully gave all it had and then they took it out back and shot it.
      More than once, too.
      That's just not right.




      Interesting stuff to know, though.

          dont seek cover from a bike

          practice shooting while moving
          Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

          Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

          Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

          Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

              Good example of this tactic from a Fremont PD officer. Some nice shooting too.

                  For those who also think our cars are good pieces of cover, get out of that thinking because they’re not. Get away from that death trap!

                      That was some good shooting. How you guys do those traffic stops all day long I have no idea. Everyone would be a felony stop if it was me
