Remember that Hollywood bank shootout where the perps had AK's and the cops had not much more than rubber stick 'em dart guns?
I often thought a single pass of an Apache with the optical sighting of the main gun would have ended that REAL quick.... "Oh, LOOK. A bad guy. He's Dead." "Oh, LOOK. Another bad guy. He's Dead, too." "Oh, LOOK.......... " |

Never heard of or seen one of these. Could they mean cops with m4s with the side door open?

IF a legit "gunship" is out there, anyone got pics? What do you think it is? AH-1 surplus? AH-6? or did they go balls to the wall and get a longbow Apache?

Yea Id like a doorgunner job as well, If I could some how live in a free state like PA. Knowing what I do about liability and such with any non normal weapon in police hands I cant beleive that its true. I think that what the guy saw was an ANG Hawk with Mini's.

I don't think they'd go that far.... If they've got a bird with guns on it I'd bet it's just a Bell with some 240's or M60's in the door. Or like you said earlier, a couple of cops with M4 sitting in the door.

Quoted: what does the NYPD need a Helicopter armed with machineguns for? They've got the 106th RQW right there that has Pavehawks with Mini-guns..... Yeah, and I'm sure they'd gladly send those Pavehawks out whenever the local PD asks. [rolleyes] |

Open doors on helicopter.
Have NYPD ESU lean out with automatic weapons. Presto, instant "NYPD helicopter, armed with machine guns" |

"POSSE COMITATUS ACT" (18 USC 1385): A Reconstruction Era criminal law proscribing use of Army (later, Air Force) to "execute the laws" except where expressly authorized by Constitution or Congress. Limit on use of military for civilian law enforcement also applies to Navy by regulation. Dec '81 additional laws were enacted (codified 10 USC 371-78) clarifying permissible military assistance to civilian law enforcement agencies--including the Coast Guard--especially in combating drug smuggling into the United States. Posse Comitatus clarifications emphasize supportive and technical assistance (e.g., use of facilities, vessels, aircraft, intelligence, tech aid, surveillance, etc.) while generally prohibiting direct participation of DoD personnel in law enforcement (e.g., search, seizure, and arrests). For example, Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETS) serve aboard Navy vessels and perform the actual boardings of interdicted suspect drug smuggling vessels and, if needed, arrest their crews). Positive results have been realized especially from Navy ship/aircraft involvement. Thats a thin line at face value imo without reading the parameters of 10 USC 371-78 (which I am not finding like that) However, that same .mil link reads the following; [url=http://www4.law.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/htm_hl?DB=uscode14&STEMMER=en&WORDS=14+141+&COLOUR=Red&STYLE=s&URL=/uscode/14/141.html#muscat_highlighter_first_match] 14 USC 141[/url] - Coast Guard cooperation with Federal/State agencies- 14 USC 143/19 USC 1401(i) - Certain Coast Guard personnel also deemed "Officers of the Customs". Seems like the Coast Guard has the blessing from Congress to be used, despite Posse Comitatus! [V] |

They are a federal law enforcement agency. They were when they were in DOT, and they are now in DHLS. It's been this way since George Washington commissioned some ships to stop smuggling prior to the actual formation of the USCG. |
