I think this is a really efficient and safe way to deter crime and protect innocent people. It's not big brother. It's today;s technology being utilized by the police in a fashion that the private sector has used for years. I don't have a problem with cameras or sensors on my streets. That's public domain. Probably shouldn't be shooting people out there to begin with..

I think this is pretty cool, this can be very beneficial to officers training. I think working with this equipment will also give officers multiple opportunities to not only prepare but constantly practice for real situations that can come up. The only way to become successful is to practice good habits and this is taking police in the right direction. I think simulators are a great investment and help many institutions better themselves and staff.

When I was a Border Patrol Explorer and they had competitions they had these there. They are really cool. I have even been in where where it will shoot at you (little paint ball sized balls). I can see why they would be helpful.

That is so awesome! I could see that being a very useful tool not only in the court room, but as an investigative tool for the officials to refer to later down the road. I think it's a lot better than simple photographs. Maybe someday it won't be such an expensive system and more departments will be able to utilize it.
