I dont know what the deal is. I support cops and donate to their athletic leagues, and to purchase bulletproof vests, etc. I dont have a problem with police at all. But,,,No matter how dangerous and selfless their job is in protecting citizens, it still makes me mad when I see things that are just careless driving practices (which one day may harm who they swore to protect). As much as lights off/sirens off responses to calls do happen, (plus they should be on and them turned off some distance from the scene) I dont think that a majority of the bonehead driving they do sometimes is due to it.
Attacking the issue of abuse of driving laws, doesnt mean anyone here doesnt respect and appreciate what the police does.
Also, I know that cops get trainning...but when you tailgate and someone slams the breaks, no training is gonna save you...especially if there is no room to maneuver to the next lane...Being trained doesnt justify the bad driving, as having an SCCA license doesnt allow anyone to drive above the speed limit!
