Fully equipped by the company, a cop could use a Bangor Punta Dominator radarscope to spot a speeder or car thief, signal him to stop with a Dominator siren, pull out a Smith & Wesson .38 and pull on a Lake Erie gas mask, flush his quarry with Lake Erie tear gas, immobilize him with Mace, bring him to with a Stephenson resuscitator, check him for alcohol with a Breathalyzer, and slap on Smith & Wesson handcuffs...
