    The front doors are important to protect their computers and equipment, and the back doors are important for keeping arrested people in and safe.

      You don’t need a computer in the vehicle. Equipment can be locked to the vehicle or carried on their person. On a beach, if you need to arrest someone, you can walk them in handcuffs the couple dozen feet back to the road.

      I guarantee you every single person on that beach had a computer on them without this sort of protection. What equipment do police really need while driving around on a beach? A laptop at most?
