It makes sense. How many times have you seen cop cars, fire trucks or ambulances trying to force their way through traffic to get to an accident? Why don’t the cops, fire men and EMTs just fly there? Mechanix Illustrated had the idea of a twin turbine driving three ducted lift fans to deliver police to an accident scene. It could carry three passengers and had space to load injured motorists for a trip to the hospital. It could also drag damaged cars over to the shoulder, had inflatable pontoon rims for water or deep snow duty, and loudspeakers.
This is amazing, and I, for one, can’t believe it’s 2012 and we have not implemented this fantastic idea from 1958.

Well, if they hadn't scheduled a hula dancing flash mob in the middle of the freeway that poor man wouldn't have needed emergency psychotherapy.
"Y-M-C-A!"
Looks like the guy just stepping out of Firebird II was a little late to the party.

Flying police chariots, glass gullwing doors for everyone, but still using chest and legs as the crumple zone.
this looks a lot like the cos hovercraft from Full Throttle
This shows you the wonders of the future as the propwash knocks everyone down and blows the cars around further injuring people.
When coming in for a landing, just reverse pitch so the props are blowing upwards. It's faster that way, too. Problem solved!
Nicely played

Get a helicopter instead and paints it flat black to look cool… Plus it holds more people and is safer for everyone.
Hmmm… and it looks like hover-cop is doing what the ground based ones do around here, glance over, drive by and pull over that guy with the window tint.
Forget the copter, I'll have what she's driving.
Meh Its really really cool and such until you look at the front grill and then its a turn off. Now if the front was like the rear half, you would have to fight me for it.
