I know this isn’t the right place to ask this, but you guys probably know more than those other sources…

Where can I find police sunglasses? You know, the reflective aviator-style sunglasses that used to be real popular among police officers. The ones that cops wear in a lot of movies. I also think of them as “biker glasses” because I see bikers wearing em sometimes. But I’ve searched everywhere and had no luck. Any suggestions?

I believe the style you’re looking for is Ray-Ban’s Aviator model, which is available in several lens finishes, including silver-mirrored.

A search on [Froogle](http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=ray-ban+aviator+silver+mirror) (Google’s product-specific search technology) looks promising.
