You may be seeing more of these in the future. The T3 vehicle first started making headlines in 2006, when gas prices were approaching $100 per barrel; now that a barrel will run you $125, U.S. police departments are turning to the device in earnest, and depending on who you talk to, it beats foot patrols.
Seventeen large will get you two T3's, and the electric-powered trikes have an estimated operating cost of ten cents a day.
(Note: the above photos are from Flickr user alexplus100--s/he has better photos of the thing than the T3 website does!)
And now, since they're on the way out, let's take a look at some police cruisers over the years, from different countries. Hit the jump for tons of larger shots.

the t3 and the smart just don't project authority the way the charger and Mercedes do. When a Charger flies up behind you your heart races and you know your in trouble. When a cop on a segway cruises up to you, you just giggle and think, "did I put money in the meter?"
hi, interesting,
but you'd rather remove the chrysler 300, it is obviously photoshopped: police markings when they're supposed to be over some door protections, no police lights, and would a police force accept a public relation photography of one of their car blatantly crossing the yellow lines ?
here's a link to the original image:
