How fast are the police allowed to travel to answer a call. Tonight, I am coming home in the shop beater(86 5.0 mustang, ) I live in a very rural area, and the speed limit is only 25 . I was probaly traveling about 50 when all of a sudden in my rear view mirror, I see the huge crash bar and lights of a State Trooper. I think oh #$%$#, I am getting a ticket, I start to slow, and the guy goes around me. Whew, but he took off like a rocket. I let him get a couple hundred feet in front of me, and I decide to follow him and see where he is going. I got close to 85, and was not gaining on him at all. So i get to the end of the road, and I see him pull in to the local stop and go. He stops ,and has a coffee. WTF???. This is the kind of stuff that gets my goat. I wonder how much driver training these guys really have at those kind of speeds. These are roads that I have been stomping for the last 15 years, every day, and I know every hole, bump, and turn, It is a rare occasion that I see a trooper back here. It sort of makes me wanna turn him in, but on the other hand , I dont like to make waves. I just hope my next speeding ticket is not from him.
