In the year 1991, understaffed police forces found themselves locked in gun battles as crime threatened to overwhelm America. As it appeared the police were in a losing battle, the public demanded change, so law enforcement became privately owned business, more akin to bounty hunters in the old west. Criminals were set with a price that would be collected by the officer who brought them in. The Miranda speech has been replaced with "... you have committed a crime. You are presumed guilty until proven innocent. You have a right to die. If you choose to relinquish that right, you will be placed under arrest and imprisoned." The New C.O.P.S. main uniform appears to be tank tops, sleeveless jean jackets and blue jeans. They appear to spend more time at the local strip club than the police station. The C.O.P.S. know of bounties either by the LED sign at HQ or the two way video monitors in their cars. For the most part all the technology seems the same as 1989. Probably the biggest exception is a power glove that was built specially for officer John Tucker, that gives augmented strength, shoots lasers, can fly, and work by remote control, but for some reason he almost never uses it.
