Thanks for all the Fixers that pointed out that YOU TOO can be cool as a cop!
Favorite Comment: Fixer Dogmeat says (in the late Billy Mays’s voice I assume), “The inflatable protect-o-cop fills with air in less than two minutes. Simply set him up to “keep an eye on things” while you take your time on an extended break. His lifelike appearance will make anyone in the area think twice about misbehaving! Just 5 easy payments of $19.95.”

seems cool to me…
That’s one cool dude.
That’s actually a standard feature for the cops wearing bullet-proof vests.
Well, it doesn’t come standard with the patrol car, but yes, they have them readily available at uniform shops. Those vests get really, really hot.
Bow chicka wow wow
looks like dr. octopus joined law enforcement.

lmao. much more effective than the store mannaquin they use in arkansas. :-p
Our city can only spare cardboard cutouts for all the shopping malls.
lol. You been up here in Hardy? There’s an old cop car at the car museum with a mannequin-cop in it
More effective than a real cop actually.
“It’s fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A…!” I’ll go get a flannel shirt, work boots, and a hardhat and meet everyone back here in an hour. Who wants to be the Indian Chief?
here is the perfect thing to buy it with. lol!!!

“Just a flick of the switch… and voilà! Not a doughnut crumb in sight!”
they see me coolin they hatin.
They knowin that I am busting crime real coolly.
ITYM “they heatin’”…
It’s actually a product you can buy:
http://www.coolcop.com/
If this is a real product, does it qualify as a kludge?
This is actually a product thats available… http://www.coolcop.com/
Pretty good idea!
And you thought Robocop was science fiction!
This is actually a real product, just search for “VestCooler”. Doesn’t make it any less silly, though I imagine it’s quite effective in hot climates.
After the economic downturn, Detroit had to settle for Roomba Cop.
“Hey, man! It’s the heat! Be cool!”
Technically not a kludge, this is a picture for a real product..
World’s longest trach tube.
Been there, done that. A level III-A vest is not the most comfortable thing in the world to wear. I just wish someone would invent a carrier that would manage the air flow (my back would never cool down).
Umm… this isn’t really a kludge. It’s an actual product designed to cool off body armor in hot temperatures. Saw it on a site that sells bulletproof vests and other law enforcement/security stuff.
I am spontaneously attracted to this guy for some reason, and I’m a guy.
“Those YMCA dances makes me sweat.”
This must be american…
Why?
Stereotype fail.
Good to see the new police cruisers come with a convenient outlet for easy recharging.
I’m suddenly in the mood for a pig roast
There nothing like the smell of roast bacon on morning!
Considering he’s likely using it for the air conditioning because – like people have said, this is typical for cops who are wearing body armor, I doubt he’s roasting. More like freezing.
It may look crazy but it does keep the squad car at a uniform temperature.
ba-dump-BUMP…. ching
The new Robocop! Even more lifelike than before, now recharges while on the move. One full charge lasts an entire shift.
Very professional, even the zip ties have a neat appearance.
Hey! He looks just like our Sheriff.
“its just me or are we getting hot here?…..oh wait! its the heater”
New from Blamco: After a long hard day of chasing the bad guys it is nice to cool off with the Blamhose! Accesories sold separately.
Wacky. Maybe this is how cops with tracheostomies, who are on ventilators, stay on the job!
They sell them for soldiers in-country, so they can put the output piece under their IBAs, to help them cool off. This isn’t a kludge, it’s a legitimate product.
Doesn’t look like a kludge at all, looks like a feature albeit a bizarre one.
A kludge is any inelegant solution to a problem. That may be a product you can go out and buy, but this poor guy sort of reminds me of Bossie hooked up to the milking machine. I think that qualifies, and so do all those wires zip-tied together. I suppose we can focus on either one.
the kludgey part is how the hose has to run all the way across the cabin like that. bad news for his partner – hose gets in the way, AND they can’t themselves keep cool, either with their own cool-vest or by using the aircon normally.
Yeah, not a kludge. Purpose-built.
Please remove.
Pointless and misses humour. Please remove.
uh yeaa!
I think it’s a speking tube. “Bridge to engine room–can you hear me now?”
win!!!
A major design flaw with our new heat powered cops is they work less efficiently during the winter and can’t travel far from their cruisers since they must be hooked up to them like so.
This is actually built into Flight Uniforms in the Army. They have a vent hole with velcro built in to hold these deals for pilots.
Cold-blooded Cop is in your cruiser, stealing your cool to keep his core-temperature at optimal levels.
OMG I’m doing that at work!!!!
This cop knows he’s cool even with a tube inside his vest.
Glasses? $100.00
Pistol? $595.00
Bullet proof vest? $1045.00.
Cooling off period. Priceless.
I wouldn’t be without mine in the summer. Great invention! I have had to Kludge mine a bit. I bought a piece of swimming pool vacuum hose to replace the hose that was cracking. Might be time for a new one this year.
this is quite neat… i’d like one to use in my own car in winter…
THE ULTIMATE KLUDGE LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM! If he drops below 40 mph his heart stops.
that looks JUST like my dad.
Hmm, I wonder if it comes with a reverse suction function for those lonely late nights on the beat.
scary, huh? its almost like your dad is saying, “HEY! Get off of the computer and go to work!!!!” (or school)
Robocop meets Dune in Brazil?
This looks like that one evil dude from Spider Man
So this is like a blow job, right?
hey first of all armor is hot as HELL i wish my tank had that second you buy that from Rangerjoes.com for all you actual people that have a job that require armor third stop bashing cops ok i don’t like mustaches but ballistics grade Oakley’s are in
ah, sweet mystery of life, at last I’ve found thee
I can just see this in the UK. Hot Fuzz in winter time!
not bashing cops but what is it with cops and mustaches? As long as I have known regardless of mens fashions most cops I see have these mustaches
This definately a valid posting, just because its sold in the stores doesn’t mean its not a Kludge!!
So, if all terrorists learned how to live in hot, dry places without air-conditioning, they would be able to evade cops, right? Hey, how about they ban donuts, too? How would the “war on Turr” progress then? God (or Allah, or Buddha, or Krishna, or who-ever the hell you believe in) forbid! No Air-con? No Donuts? No coffee? How can a cop survive?
What my uncle invented is cool and one of the best things for ppl that have to wear vests. He is a very cool cop and one of the best cops ever.
It’s the safe and easy way to clean the streets.
Oh no! It’s either that they’re going to suck off the cop’s new shirt or that they’re going to inflate him so that he explodes. Atleast now it’ll take longer for bullets to go through, but I doubt it’s even saver with all that air puffed up, it’ll just fly into his shirt and bust his bones.

If he’s a typical taco-stand-hangin’ cop he should be sitting on that ventilator hose.
Today Omni Consumer Products announced that they are developing a wireless version of their popular Robocop citing customer complaints of limited range and mobility.OCP still has no comment on the rumors that they plan on buying out the Detroit Metro PD.
No no no no no…. the Autopilot Cop inflates at the belt buckle! Didn’t you see the instructional video in “Airplane”?
u all got fooled, thats simply the less popular 6th part of robocop
That’s an awesome idea. If you live in the Southwest, you might like to have something like that, esp if you have to wear heavy gear.
Anybody whos worn body armor in da winter will appreciate this
I mean summer, my fail
Schwarzie’s next opponent ?
The all new chest hair flobie
Cops: some of them need constant airflow to prevent the brain from imploding.
WOW Look were your tax paying dollars went and why are police sooooo stupid!!!! and if you look real close pround of his B.S jimmy riged AC
I don’t know in America, but here in Brazil cops can’t drive with windows closed, ’cause they must keep eyes on streets and be ready to hear anything. I device like that makes sense.
