wow redhawk, your ability to completely misread a post surprises even me.
And your ability to add absolutely nothing to a discussion surprises everyone.
While I realize that some may want to whine, piss and moan about the "cop bashing", none of those same people ever seem to want to acknowledge the fact that cops are and should be held to a higher standard by the general public.
I think an officer being paid $15 and hour to stand between a scared store clerk and a loaded shotgun lives a higher standard.
the fact is that cops break laws all the time
Nothing like a good blanket statement to illustrate a solid grasp of the ignorant.
and the fact that cops abuse their power in this reguard is only an indication of the many other ways they use their power to raise themselves above the laws that reduce Chaos.
So because you see a cop roll through a stop light, you automatically assume that same cop is likely to go beat up an old lady or something? Geesh!
My only additional comment, which I somewhat stated but not plainly, is that the cop, if he was any sort of competent driver at all, could have seen that I was going slower than he wanted to go, put his blue lights on while he was (say) 100 feet behind me, crossed over into the oncoming lane, and be done with it.
I think that is a fair request assuming there wasn't a legitimate reason for him tailgating you.
