RE:RE:RE:RE:Attempt at market projectionI like the possitive aspect of the numbers but think it's still very low estimate. I believe these units will be small enough for each officer to carry as a tool. Add to that the number of station houses that will have them as well. To say they'll have only one is short sighted as well. Backups will be needed so a supply of new stock will be available. Regardless of how well they're made, they'll get better and will be replaced over time.
We're talking law enforcement but what about prisons? How about Coast Guards? Military? Airport Security? In Ontario, it's MTO inspecting trucks and drivers. We haven't even calculated mines, forestry and other industries using heavy equipment.
Whatever number we come up with in Canada, it'll be tenfold in the USA.
