Most of the people I heard defending not having a cage were some variety of trooper, which probably explains it....

This…. With full off duty use here a cage would displace Junior from his car seat.

the no cages does seem to be a HP / trooper thing. at least in states where it's not full service agency (down south). I really doubt NJSP or NYSP who is out there doing the equivalent of our county deputy work down south (everything a city does, just in the county, like DV, shootings, etc) are running around without cages. it is wild the differences between northern and southern policing.

Conn. State police is all no cage/ front seat transport. And many of the troops are very rural and the only law enforcement for many of the towns in the troop area. Gargbage bags on the seat, hobbles, spit hoods, and a locking seat belt keeps the wild ones contained.
