Kinda cool having the ability to do that .....They can drive down an aisle and scan both sides at the same time ....

They also sit on the side(s) of the road here in NY eating donuts and bon-bons waiting for their PR software to kick up a "Go get em !" message on their laptops. Seriously, the days of cruising around and actually having to do something are over. Unless they get a call, or their computer tells them to pull a car over, or they're running radar or a DWI checkpoint, they don't know what to do.
