The Queensland Police have unmarked motorbikes that they use in tandem with marked vehicles to find people doing silly things on the road...

The Age has an article and a video of a 'new' targetry system based on the Segway designed and built in Australia and being sold to the US Marines. The video might or might not be filmed at a location outside of Perth. And if it was, I've never been there or seen them anyway.

probably because people from (insert a particular country here) do things differently from everyone else. :wink:

I think a safety line would get in the way. When I first saw the video I thought the same thing about not having a safety line as you did. Worksafe would have a ball over there.

Just one of those jobs in which you say to yourself "you have got to be crazy". Another in that category IMHO, if you have not seen it, is the inspection of 500Kv powerlines in the video below.
