Did I say I expect Perl to do the right thing? :-)

Lancashire do (Score:2)
I've seen the Lancashire Constabulary patrol on horse back. Unlike a car, a horse can get into narrow spaces, and it's less effort than a mountain bike. Plus if you give someone a wallop with a truncheon from horse back I'm sure it hurts a lot.

Plus I expect that there's slightly more of an element of fear with horses. Certainly, with a police vehicle, you know that the human is in control, and isn't intentionally going to drive it into you. With a horse, you're not quite so sure what it will do...
Re:Lancashire do (Score:2)
I hadn't thought of that, but horses are pretty stupid, big and quite capable of doing a great deal of damage on their own. I expect the police ones are VERY well trained, but in my experice most people's horses are a stupid bundle of nerves.
