Quote: Hell I want to see a cop pull over another cop for going 30 over WITHOUT THEIR REDS AND BLUES ON!!!! Im furious when I see a cop doing 75 in a 40 for no reason at all...
Oh get over yourself. I don't think I've ever seen such blatant speeding on the part of the police, or blatant ignorance on the part of someone on this Forum. It doesn't matter if you saw it everyday, cops will regularly begin a chase or go to some scene without lights on. You don't always want to warn everyone that you're coming. The difference is that they're trained to go that fast, the average citizen is not.
In fact, it's far more common in my experience for cops to play the game of "Let's see how slow we can go on the freeway before someone is willing to pass us." And that's just stupidity on the part of the other drivers. I've been stuck behind people going 45 in a 65 because they refuse to pass the cop.
And talk about getting off a high-horse. The only high-horse I see here is all those saying that cops do nothing but cause problems and take away their rights as citizens. I'm sure everyone here would defend their profession if everyone claimed they did nothing but hurt other people for fun. Cops catch enough [censored] everyday without more ignorant people jumping on them who have no desire to learn anything other than what they already think.
Go [censored] yourself, and then go live somewhere the police don't regularly serve.
To start a chase or whatever without the lights on is unsafe in and of itself. Having someone going that fast above the speed limit with a siren to warn people is just asking for an accident. And I can vouch for the fact that I've seen plenty of cops speeding without the siren AND changing lanes without using a turn signal. We should be able to document such infractions of the law and send a ticket to their residence.
Again, no concept of actual police work. Further, I would like to invite you to Iraq, where there are virtually no police. You think we have traffic problems in the states? You have no clue. Be thankful someone is there enforcing our laws.

There are no stupid questions.
There are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
