Nope. Not at all. They are cruising faster to catch up with speeders.
Or shadowing a speeder ahead. At least that’s what I think. Could be wrong. But that’s how I got busted. Dude crept up to me in my blind spot and marked my speed. Busted! |
Situational.
If it is the Barney Fife hanging out giving tickets for going 50.1MPH in a 50MPH zone, yes. To me it is about control and awareness. I have seen police officers not able to keep a lane, using their laptop. In that situation even going the speed limit is dangerous. |
A few months ago a cop comes speeding up behind me with his lights on so I pull over on a very narrow road with a curb along side it, no shoulder and very dangerous area. Scraped my brand new rim on my truck pretty bad. As soon as he gets by me he turns his lights off and then stops normally at the red light at intersection. No emergency.
Sorry just never have been a fan of cops and I’ve known a few personally. Few years ago I’m pulling away from street parking in 911 and putting on seat belt at the same time. Cop immediately pulls me over and gives seat belt ticket and says “ you always drive your PORSHHH without wearing your seat belt”. I argued with him and that didn’t go so well. I see cops excessively speeding while on their cell phones. Pisses me off |
What grinds my gears the most is sitting in traffic at a red light, our light turns to green, and some ashat blows the red light and the cop ignores that. Most cops will ignore 5 to 8 over except in school zones and in a school zone, 25 means 25 not 30.

Watching cops speeding through traffic doesn't really trigger me. Many other things do, but not that one.

Didn’t like his arrogant attitude especially since I had the belt on. He made it clear he had a problem with the car I was in. I’m always respectful and just like cops, being a lawyer, I’m a part of a group that is hated because of a few bad apples so I have some empathy. But the older I get, the less I like cops, judges and lawyers. The three things that being a lawyer, I have to put up with every damn day. I guess I’m just sick of it.

I don't care about speeding, but seeing them text, or mess around on a laptop while driving gets me going. Completely unacceptable.
|
Yep ^ I don't mind any 'aggressive' driving as long as they are engaged/attentive. And as long as they are ok with others doing the same. :cool:

All while CHP are the best. I prefer when LEOs speed (on the freeway). Otherwise it clogs up traffic. Running Stop signs and lights, I cannot stand. |
I don’t mind them speeding if they are passing me. It’s when they’re speeding while following me that pisses me off. ;)

Ever get a "no seatbelt: ticket from a cop. .... on a motorcycle...
They're all about safety, doncha know. |
