Screw them. Anything that is forced on civilians should also apply to cops. Want to make smart guns mandatory for civilians? Fine...make them mandatory for cops, too."it's alarming cops who say they don’t want to be guinea pigs."
“Police officers in general, federal officers in particular, shouldn’t be asked to be the guinea pigs in evaluating a firearm that nobody’s even seen yet,” said James Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police. “We have some very, very serious questions.”
But the Fraternal Order of Police has a different view. The 325,000-member police union will support more federal funding for police officers and will lobby for expanding background checks for gun sales. The police association will also support more funding for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
“Unless you have an [ATF] fully functional and funded, it doesn’t matter what laws you have because there will be no one to enforce them. Let’s get them to the point that they can enforce what’s on the books today before anything else,” said Jim Pasco, the police union’s executive director.
Members of the Fraternal Order of Police will fly to Washington at the end of February to lobby lawmakers on the proposals, Pasco said.
“We will brief them, provide them with talking points, the whole nine yards,” Pasco said.
The police union has yet to take a position on the proposed bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, according to Pasco.

Hell yeah the cops should be forced to have smart guns, I mean we've all seen the videos where the cop is yelling about someone going for his gun haven't we? Think of all the guns left in public bathrooms, the roof of the cruiser, stolen out of LEO automobiles that could fall into the wrong hands.
Isn't it supposed to be about officer safety at the end of the day? This is something I can get behind and I'd venture to guess I'm not the only one.

This times a thousand, but mandate that there is a 1 year trial period for political security details first, see how they like having their own security nutered first...

Secret Service first
I love me some technology, but this is foolish. Think about the Touch ID on your iPhone or galaxy, it works all the time and you'd trust your life on it to work flawlessly in milliseconds? Yeah right....
