If units gets there prior to my arrival, then I may quit responding and go routine. To the unknowing, it looks like I just went thru the intersection and then pulled into starbucks or whatever. |
Mike if you have ever read any of my previous police related posts, you'll see im probaby the biggest cop supporter on here. I'm the last person to bash cops.
But your last sentence is exactly what im talking about. I see it all the time. When patrol car is cruising along at 20 mph along with everyone else, then decides to drive around everyone stopped at the light. Then puts on its lights (or not put them on). to get through the red, only to proceed to turn into a store parking lot. Im sure anyone else that lives in NYC can attest to how common of an occurrence this is.
