So far it is all one-sided.

For once, I want to know if ANY small town LEOs questioned and refused the equipment.

Our rural community holds an annual Cruise night. The event consists of antique and hot cars that are on display as well as a band and local food vendors. At 7 pm everyone watches the cars go around the block.

This year an armored vehicle surrounded by squad cars were in the middle of the square. The police were in riot gear and did not allow teens to ‘gather.’

Needless to say it was VERY unnerving. I left with an ominous feeling...

I don’t know if my local sheriff has overtly refused this equipment, but he has not attempted to obtain any of it.

And with his somewhat libertarian leanings (”let the state guys set up radar traps and write speeding tickets, my deputies have better things to do with their time”) I doubt he will.
