What a funny post. LMFAO at redhawk. way to call em out. Anyway on to the fun....
Like all you guys have never illegally passed anyone while in a hurry. Come on, don't be a bunch of hypocritic a$$holes.
Here's another twist.
1. perhaps the cop was on the radio as he was tailgating you, which made him hold off on passing you until he could totally concentrate on getting around you in a dangerous area.
2. Perhaps (and highly likely) the cop was doing one of two things...either responding to a call or patrolling and trying NOT to draw attention to himself more than necessary OR perhaps he was responding to a call and DID NOT want to blind everyone with his flashing blue strobes more than necessary.
I don't like being stopped for tickets...but usually, you or something about your car provokes them to become suspicious of you being a violator...sux, but its their job to jerk punks a new one. So guess what? Don't be a dumbass and usually you'll be fine.
Occasionally you'll run across an overzealous cop, or one that tends to "use the system" but don't be so hypocritical to cast judgement upon every cop or try to play it off like you wouldn't take advantage of some of the perks of being in blue yourself if you walked in his shoes. Casting every cop as a renegade vigilante is socially irresponsible, and some comments here make laugh as they are just retorts coming from your own unfortunate incident with the boys in blue.
This all said from someone who is NOT a perfect driver and absolutely ABHORS traffic tickets.
