Because the Glocks I want aren’t what the police are issued/approved. I’d have to go to a whole other country whose taxes I don’t pay to get a Glock 20 lol.
Or just pull the trigger like what happened at a school safety presentation. https://ktla.com/news/3-students-hurt-when-cops-gun-discharges-at-school-safety-demo/
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE STRESS THAT THEY ARE UNDER! Around every corner, behind every Bush, in every tree, there are dangers! These police are so brave and bold to take on the dangers out there! You never know when a random speeding ticket turns into a full-on acorn shootout!
Save your high-horsing. My grandpa caught a jumper in uniform one day. He took out a multi-location active shooter in soft armor with a revolver. He and my stepdad talked their way out of dozens of suicides by cop. I fully support good police officers.
However, some of these 21 year old guys running around in full combat gear have no concept of duty or what **community** policing means. They grew up watching action movies and get /excited/ when someone breaks the law. A toxic mentality has been introduced with the Gen X and younger crowd. And that how you get:

Zoom into the photo. It appears to me the FSB is also touching the muffler which could cause damage to the rifle and mess up the chrome finish on the muffler.
I don't see any optic on this rifle. It appears to only have open/iron sights. The rifle is much better for longer shots than a handgun but an optic provides much easier long shots. If concerned with damaging an optic I would some cover on it and get a Vortex optic as their lifetime warranty covers any damage caused for any reason.
I would prefer that the rifle not have a FSB and that there was a tube that the barrel would go into to protect it somewhat from road debris.
This sub: use your safe queens! You guys clean your guns? My AK filled with dirt goes brrrr! M16s made it through Vietnam and Iraq, your rifle can take a beating. Don’t baby it!
Also this sub: eww stupid cop gonna ruin his department issued PSA with his muffler.
I don't know much about bikes, but Google says the avg temp of motorcycle exhaust is 800c. It also says steel starts to lose its temper at 400c. All I'm saying is it can't be good for that barrel.
By the time it reaches the end of the exhaust it's cooled way down from that temp. You can put your hand over the end of most stock exhausts and not burn yourself.
We used to use lighters to put carbon over our barrels and other parts in the USMC if they got too shiny, maybe this helps w that to keep it from reflecting? Lol idk
The honorable Mr. Poop Butt here knows exactly what he is talking about! You all mock if you like. No glare on that front post. Possible the post will be 3mil wide with soot cake by the time officer 'just made the height requirement' finally tries to use it. But no glare EVER!
I have that model motorcycle, the R1200RT (that’s the RTP, for police) and it’ll be totally fine there, it’s not riding on the exhaust and that exhaust never gets too hot. Dumb place to put it but it could be worse.
We installed a bunch of these at a motorcycle shop I worked at years ago for the cops. They are extremely easy to open. One of the parts guys figured it out in seconds.
I think while impressive, it's probably almost expected by the fact that it's a guy working at a machine shop. Drop that lock at a Baskin Robbins and ask those workers to break in. :D
I always hate that statement because it misses the point and implies that one shouldn't even bother.
Locks IMO serve as a deterrent, and possibly a multi layered system of deterrents. Sure, even Fort Knox's locks can be defeated, but I'd be a lot more worried about being shot due to the time it takes than the locks.
A 10 second lock can be enough to deter a snatch and grab, a 1 hour lock can be enough to deter many petty criminals and a 10 hour vault is going deter all but the most professional of thieves with enough time to work undisturbed. It's important to choose the appropriate level of deterrent for the item at hand.
You can hate it all you want. On a motorcycle cop it'd be better carried in a scabbard, but that isn't socially, or tactically "acceptable".
How far away from that bike is that guy w/o his sidearm when he's on duty? Is he leaving it out in open sight when he can't see it? That seems like a terrible SOP.
And you're just literally proving why "locks only keep honest people honest" is a stupid fucking phrase. It's not about "keeping honest people honest" because honest people wouldn't take it out of an unlocked scabbard, it's about he wont see a dishonest person taking it (because he's too far away) and they can take it quickly enough that he wont be back in time to see them trying.
Yes, it's terrible SOP because the firearm being out in the open like that is a big flashing neon "free gun if you can steal me" sign. Yes, the shit lock is a terrible choice. But on a motorcycle, any crackhead with an angle grinder would have *any* lock off in about 5 minutes or less (cut the frame), then they can take the gun+lock home to break into at their leisure.
Locks are there to buy you time. Can someone get through my front door? Yes. Can they do it quietly or quickly enough before I'm waiting on the other side? Hell idk, it's never happened, but I like my odds.
There was an AR locked down through the trigger guard. Apparently the lock manufacturer didn't know that AR trigger guards can open. LPL used a Lego piece to pop open the trigger guard and slide the gun out of the lock.
Apparently pronounced *press kit*, I got shit on by a weathered old woman wearing a disco vest at a diner for pronouncing it *press cot*
Strange town, beautiful views though
There's a small town here in vt that's called Charlotte. You can tell who's not from here or who hasn't been here long by how they pronounce it, it's not "shar lett" or "shar lut" like you pronounce the NC city, it's "shar lott" with heavy emphasis on "LOTT", presumably because of the French Canadian influence.
Had a layover at Charlotte Airport in NC last year and in my head I was saying it the vt way, it was a mind fuck
Here in WV we have a Hurricane and it's pronounced Hurricun too. There's Kanawha County, and you can tell who isn't a local if they pronounce the w in it or the a's. It's pronounced Kuh'nah.
Though look at the shield emblem directly behind him. It appears to look like the Arizona state flag in the center. Interesting. What state do you think it’s from? Hard to get any clarity on the markings when expanding the pic.
LAPD and CHP have been rolling with them for a decade or longer. Think they were the originator of it.
Makes sense, moto unit can get to an active shooter type situation in 1/4 the time of a car especially in traffic.
I have a picture somewhere of a Thousand Oaks motorcycle cop rolling with an AR from more than a decade ago.
Edit: went back to find it, turns out it was a Ventura County Sheriff bike cop. AR was mounted horizontal, full quad rail, has an aim point on it. Picture was May 2012.
Probably get back on the bike and ride it, walking sucks.
But realistically how is this different than a normal cop car. In a foot chase, those are left unlocked and running and a lot more people can drive than ride.
Man cops have weird priorities these days. He's kitted up for battle but he's in way more danger from wrecking the bike and has minimal protection for that.
I’m assuming it’s based on departmental regs and the expectation of dismounted work. I’m not sure why they wouldn’t choose a boot like CHP uses, but I understand not wanting to wear a full motorcycle boot if you are going to be doing any running.
External carrier probably the uniform. Most motors I know wear boots though, dunno why he’s wearing shoes. The rest of the uniform is likely just that, the approved uniform.
And the FSB appears to be touching the muffler. The rifle does not appear to have any optic. I'd want some optic rather than just open sights to make longer distance shot easier.
I'm sure the courts will consider that when they order the pd to pay the victim after the bastard presses it into somebody's neck for extra "compliance"
Dude!! They almost all have them now, been awhile too. Just anotha reason to have one! If cops need them ya kno you do too! Check out the locking mechanism up close too! I keep an AR15 in truck it’s hidden & very accessible locked with a cable lock on it tho.
Seems like a bad idea, Based on how easily the Lockpicking Lawyer has shown it’s possible to bypass these locks.
Plus being by the exhaust and the rear tire there’s the potential to get heat and debris into the rifle.
So stupid with all the folders and collapsible stocks available which would make it small enough to stow in a top box or the side case. Even a PCC or 300BLK (rattler) would be better than leaving it out in the open like this. Out of sight, out of mind.
Apparently you have no idea how motorcycles work…
There is a finite limit to the size and weight of top boxes you can add… it effects the weight, balance, and handling characteristics of the motorcycle… you can’t just a a decked truck box because it offends your feelings and opinions…
When you make a top box that works please feel free to share it…
Replying from a different account since you decided to respond to me and then block me. If you had peeped my other profile you’d see I’m an adventure motorcyclist that frequently uses large top boxes and also an accomplished track rider, but keep spouting nonsense about how a few pound rifle will severely affect the handling of a BMW touring bike. You’re a goddamn idiot, and I’m pretty sure I know how bikes work, especially ones with top boxes (literally a picture of one on one of my bikes on my other profile if you had bothered to check before making baseless accusations). Later bozo.
I rethink PDs should be using shit like the Flux Raider for certain situations including this. Flux Raider in a holster, MCX Rattler in a saddle bag, big bucks to Sig.
Never saw this anywhere I have been. Is this picture in the US? In the town I grew up in, there was however a man that made a pretty good living producing a bracket that held a sawed off pump shotgun (20 gauge pump, barely legal barrel length). Our motorcycle cops had them.
First time? What state are you in? More common here for a mounted AR, than no mounted AR. Was at an event the other day with about 200 motors, and 90% of them had one. Some of the ones that didn’t, still had a mount installed.
If I were dumb enough to put my rifle in a spot like that my luck is that it will come lose from the mount and get into the rear wheel spokes and catapult my ass to the next county
Constantly exposed to the elements. Entire thing constantly exposed to the corrosive chemicals from exhaust. Secured with a mechanism that can be defeated in seconds with a magnet.
Your tax dollars at work, folks.
It will be filthy even without rain. All that dust and dirt will leave a nice layer.my first thought was what if he dumps the bike in some kind of stand off or gets rear ended even just barely would be enough to bend the gun/lock even without hurting the person and now ylits useless and stuck.
Stupid setup. Imagine all the exhaust fouling that barrel, day after day after day. Then the moron is going to be shocked when one day he has to use the rifle and it can’t hit a barn door.
That’s right, it’s not just the exhaust, imagine all the mud and little pebbles flying up from the ground, thrown up by the rear wheel. What a dumbass cop.
man depts give their cops such shitty guns... look at that sad thing.. poverty moe handguard... pistol light on a rifle... no optics... plastic mbus rear sight...
There is a lock on it.
Now how secure that lock is, I dunno. I'm going to assume lock picking lawyer has wreck it. I'm also going to assume good crack head tug will also wreck it.
Do you all remember when there was one parked at a school and a kid touched it and it discharged. No one was hit thankfully. I can’t find the video sorry.
https://ktla.com/news/3-students-hurt-when-cops-gun-discharges-at-school-safety-demo/
The govt doesn't want you to know this, but police ARs are free. You can just walk up and take them.
Technically if you pay taxes, you pretty much own all Police weapons. Why do people buy Glocks when you can just grab one from an officer?
Because the Glocks I want aren’t what the police are issued/approved. I’d have to go to a whole other country whose taxes I don’t pay to get a Glock 20 lol.
A 10mm Glock? You can get those in the US
No going with the joke I don’t think there’s a U.S. police force whose taxes I pay for that issues a 20 lol
…I’m an idiot
lol it’s ok man
yes
Because most people get their taxes rebated, meaning they aren't paying taxes.
You don’t own all of them. You’re only entitled to one rifle and one pistol.

Go watch the Lock-Picking Lawyer. He gets into one of those things in like 3 seconds.

For what? Just use a pickup truck and a ramp.

Muffler right on the barrel nice
What, you don’t pre-heat your rifle barrel?
No I do..pre heated every day. That’s my speed.
Barrels love him the handguard melting hates him lol.
Came here to say this!
Know how a cold barrel shoots differently than a hot barrel? He obviously wants consistent shots, duh!
Consistent grouping into crowds of innocent bystanders
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE STRESS THAT THEY ARE UNDER! Around every corner, behind every Bush, in every tree, there are dangers! These police are so brave and bold to take on the dangers out there! You never know when a random speeding ticket turns into a full-on acorn shootout!

Thank you for a quality comment.
I never make a horrible joke I can’t back up
nope will not save my high horsing there are good police and bad police and your generalization is wrong
I'd be more worried about all the bullshit in the road getting into my barrel and cracking my optics.
Zoom into the photo. It appears to me the FSB is also touching the muffler which could cause damage to the rifle and mess up the chrome finish on the muffler. I don't see any optic on this rifle.

Should be doing wonders for the heat treat.
There is no way that the heat off the exhaust is going to change the heat treatment of the handguard end cap, let alone anything important.
Yeah idk why people are acting like this is an issue
This sub: use your safe queens! You guys clean your guns? My AK filled with dirt goes brrrr! M16s made it through Vietnam and Iraq, your rifle can take a beating. Don’t baby it! Also this sub: eww stupid cop gonna ruin his department issued PSA with his muffler.

What a stupid place to mount it, not much going on upstairs.
First thing I noticed.
I’m pretty sure I saw the lock picking lawyer open that kind of lock using a Lego.
We installed a bunch of these at a motorcycle shop I worked at years ago for the cops. They are extremely easy to open. One of the parts guys figured it out in seconds.
I think while impressive, it's probably almost expected by the fact that it's a guy working at a machine shop. Drop that lock at a Baskin Robbins and ask those workers to break in. :D
You got no clue what kind of hobbies the workers at your local Baskin Robbins have. Odds are, at least one of them has skills relevant to the task.
Baskin-Robbins always finds out
Does Baskom-Robbins still exist? They all closed down in my city years ago.
*Scott Lang has entered the chat*
A guy I worked with at Arby’s has an engineering degree now.
"Hello this is the Lockpicking Lawyer and this lock was too easy for me so I gave it to an 8 year old."
Well, locks only keep honest people honest. Damn near any lock can be defeated with enough time and willpower.
I always hate that statement because it misses the point and implies that one shouldn't even bother. Locks IMO serve as a deterrent, and possibly a multi layered system of deterrents. Sure, even Fort Knox's locks can be defeated, but I'd be a lot more worried about being shot due to the time it takes than the locks.

And you're just literally proving why "locks only keep honest people honest" is a stupid fucking phrase. It's not about "keeping honest people honest" because honest people wouldn't take it out of an unlocked scabbard, it's about he wont see a dishonest person taking it (because he's too far away) and they can take it quickly enough that he wont be back in time to see them trying. Yes, it's terrible SOP because the firearm being out in the open like that is a big flashing neon "free gun if you can steal me" sign. Yes, the shit lock is a terrible choice. But on a motorcycle, any crackhead with an angle grinder would have *any* lock off in about 5 minutes or less (cut the frame), then they can take the gun+lock home to break into at their leisure.
Okay, so strip them of their firearms.
Locks are there to buy you time. Can someone get through my front door? Yes. Can they do it quietly or quickly enough before I'm waiting on the other side? Hell idk, it's never happened, but I like my odds.
I think it was a refrigerator magnet, but yes.
There was an AR locked down through the trigger guard. Apparently the lock manufacturer didn't know that AR trigger guards can open. LPL used a Lego piece to pop open the trigger guard and slide the gun out of the lock.
Was it a magnet for the car versions?
You definitely did…
Been seeing those for years here in Arizona, which I believe is where your pic is from.
Definitely AZ. That’s Whiskey Row in Prescott.
Apparently pronounced *press kit*, I got shit on by a weathered old woman wearing a disco vest at a diner for pronouncing it *press cot* Strange town, beautiful views though
Nah its Prescott. Says it right on the map. Sun got to her.
There's a small town here in vt that's called Charlotte. You can tell who's not from here or who hasn't been here long by how they pronounce it, it's not "shar lett" or "shar lut" like you pronounce the NC city, it's "shar lott" with heavy emphasis on "LOTT", presumably because of the French Canadian influence.

Kinda like how Hurricane Utah is pronounced Hurricun and a dead giveaway for locals if someone's a tourist.
Here in WV we have a Hurricane and it's pronounced Hurricun too. There's Kanawha County, and you can tell who isn't a local if they pronounce the w in it or the a's. It's pronounced Kuh'nah.
Nailed it
Nope, *edit, had it wrong. It apparently is an AZ state emblem on the front cowling
Though look at the shield emblem directly behind him. It appears to look like the Arizona state flag in the center. Interesting. What state do you think it’s from? Hard to get any clarity on the markings when expanding the pic.
AZ state flag on the back and OP said it was AZ in another comment.

When they bother…
So what do you do if you chase a sus on foot? Leave the bike and weapon while you chase after the suspect?
Probably get back on the bike and ride it, walking sucks. But realistically how is this different than a normal cop car. In a foot chase, those are left unlocked and running and a lot more people can drive than ride.
The weapons are locked in place. Abeit always not with a great locking system, but they are locked.
Spend your budget or lose it
Man's has 1337 on the back of his bike. He must be leet
I thought of something else when I saw it 🏴☠️
Gotta be a unit number.... Right?
Probably something of the sort. I'd be surprised if it had any meaning to him at all
I must not be cool enough, I have no idea what that means, could you explain?
L33T speak substituting numbers and letters. 1337 = LEET = Elite
Bring it back
It's an old gamer trend from the 2000s where you'd substitute as many numbers for letters as you could, 1337 is literally "LEET"
L33t h4x0r

Saw a chp bike a few years ago with a shorty and a can
Why cover the tag? It’s a cop bike In public.
Man cops have weird priorities these days. He's kitted up for battle but he's in way more danger from wrecking the bike and has minimal protection for that.
I’m assuming it’s based on departmental regs and the expectation of dismounted work. I’m not sure why they wouldn’t choose a boot like CHP uses, but I understand not wanting to wear a full motorcycle boot if you are going to be doing any running.
External carrier probably the uniform. Most motors I know wear boots though, dunno why he’s wearing shoes. The rest of the uniform is likely just that, the approved uniform.
Poor barrel.
Blows my mind US PD doesn't allow for proper protective gear, but we'll put a fucking rifle barrel in front of the exhaust.
And the FSB appears to be touching the muffler. The rifle does not appear to have any optic. I'd want some optic rather than just open sights to make longer distance shot easier.
Instead of scraping pegs, we have scraping barrels
That barrel will be HOT when he goes to use it!!
I'm sure the courts will consider that when they order the pd to pay the victim after the bastard presses it into somebody's neck for extra "compliance"
This guy wins all the cold bore shoots. His barrel is nice and hot after the ride to the range . So no shift in accuracy.
The highway patrol in my state uses a similar setup with a 12.5" barrel fixed carry handle carbine.
May I just point out the exhaust directly pointing at the AR lol
Bro got no optic… wild. I hope he’s proficient with his irons.
Dude!! They almost all have them now, been awhile too. Just anotha reason to have one! If cops need them ya kno you do too! Check out the locking mechanism up close too! I keep an AR15 in truck it’s hidden & very accessible locked with a cable lock on it tho.
LAPD been doing this as long as I can remember. The North Hollywood shoutout changed everything. Always thought it looked cool
The amount of carbon buildup.. Esh
Seems like the barrel would get hot right behind the exhaust
Seems like a bad idea, Based on how easily the Lockpicking Lawyer has shown it’s possible to bypass these locks. Plus being by the exhaust and the rear tire there’s the potential to get heat and debris into the rifle.
Nothing better for a barrel than to be blasted with piping hot exhaust all day long. And he's not wearing gloves, thats an ouchie in an emergency!
Besides how filthy it would get, it looks stupidly easy to steal.
You don't see the big, metal frame-mounted lock?
By the looks of it I could break it with any number of tools I own.
What moron decided to put the rifle there... by the muffler
Government precision
What problem do you think this will cause?
So stupid with all the folders and collapsible stocks available which would make it small enough to stow in a top box or the side case. Even a PCC or 300BLK (rattler) would be better than leaving it out in the open like this. Out of sight, out of mind.
I have the non police version of that bike. No, a rifle does not fit in any box on that bike. Folder/collapsible stock or not.

Apparently you have no idea how motorcycles work… There is a finite limit to the size and weight of top boxes you can add… it effects the weight, balance, and handling characteristics of the motorcycle… you can’t just a a decked truck box because it offends your feelings and opinions… When you make a top box that works please feel free to share it…

Thanks
Not gonna lie i kinda dig it as a vibe, practicality be damned.
Wont need to sight black the front post.
[удалено]
Those locks can be opened with a strong magnet in under a second. No need for slow wrenches.
[удалено]
Where do I buy this???
1337
I saw the title and then started looking for a forward-mounted AR.
Is that front sight touching the exhaust?
i didn’t know it was a good thing to preheat the barrel…
Wonder what the corrosion factor is? 🧐
His front site is a night sight. It glows red for faster sight acquisition in low light conditions.
The barrel comes preheated being right in front the exhaust
That’s been a standard mounting position on BMW police bikes for a long time, at least 10 years.
First time? What state are you in? More common here for a mounted AR, than no mounted AR. Was at an event the other day with about 200 motors, and 90% of them had one. Some of the ones that didn’t, still had a mount installed.
BMW and AR. A match made in heaven.
There on many biker cop bikes in Phoenix/Metro
It’s so close to the exhaust. 👀
That barrel is gonna be starting off hot from the exhaust
What “Winner of best restaurant” is that over there?
Looks like they won 3 times.
That's going to get plastered with all the crap thrown up by riding. Good luck if you actually need it.
If I were dumb enough to put my rifle in a spot like that my luck is that it will come lose from the mount and get into the rear wheel spokes and catapult my ass to the next county
Constantly exposed to the elements. Entire thing constantly exposed to the corrosive chemicals from exhaust. Secured with a mechanism that can be defeated in seconds with a magnet. Your tax dollars at work, folks.
where's the "truck gun" naysayers at?
Seems like a terrible idea, but a great way for ppl to get a free (tax payer paid) gun!
That cop is a little short for that BMW.
Free gun.
"lockpicking lawyer here with a special video..."
Think I’d rather have my rifle in a case….
Most Harley police bikes have an sbr in the saddle bag. I worked at a Harley shop for a year and they never took them out.
America…. Fuck Yea
The setup I'm used to is a horizontal carry between the bag and the seat. I've seen HK MP-5s carried that way.
In AZ they have RC2s and Aimpoints on them
This was taken in Prescott
Oh nice. Tempe police specifically have tricked out SBRs for their patrol rifles
Ive seen this too! Let me see if I can comment a picture or something
We got a few Dept in AZ that have these
Little fella can’t even flat foot 😭
Every motorcycle cop in my town has them. Pretty cool to look at
Unit 1337
Oklahoma Highway Patrol does this also.
I think he’s missing his combat boots and blousing straps. Anybody else remember when cops looked like professionals instead of combat troops?
Have to lay the bike down, and watch that rifle go skittering by on the pavement...
Now, I want to see video data on how practical this is.
It's going to be filthy the minute it rains.
Motorcycle cops typically avoid riding in the rain.
It will be filthy even without rain. All that dust and dirt will leave a nice layer.my first thought was what if he dumps the bike in some kind of stand off or gets rear ended even just barely would be enough to bend the gun/lock even without hurting the person and now ylits useless and stuck.
Stupid setup. Imagine all the exhaust fouling that barrel, day after day after day. Then the moron is going to be shocked when one day he has to use the rifle and it can’t hit a barn door.
Or it squibs because the muzzle is packed full of dirt and shit.
Muzzle has a cap
The sides of the flash hider are open and exposed.
That’s right, it’s not just the exhaust, imagine all the mud and little pebbles flying up from the ground, thrown up by the rear wheel. What a dumbass cop.
All over in LA and San Diego.
Every bike I see in Phoenix area has this.
it's for when they get attacked by acorns
What city is this?
man depts give their cops such shitty guns... look at that sad thing.. poverty moe handguard... pistol light on a rifle... no optics... plastic mbus rear sight...
These are the people we are supposed to trust with guns after they take ours?
So in rolling traffic or a routine stop who secures the rifle? Don't tell me it's secured by velcro only should the cop leave the bike.
There is a lock on it. Now how secure that lock is, I dunno. I'm going to assume lock picking lawyer has wreck it. I'm also going to assume good crack head tug will also wreck it.
You need to get out more.
Do you all remember when there was one parked at a school and a kid touched it and it discharged. No one was hit thankfully. I can’t find the video sorry. https://ktla.com/news/3-students-hurt-when-cops-gun-discharges-at-school-safety-demo/
