I don't know if I'm going with the Valentine One or get an Escort. Hmm...
But you know what really irritates me? Seeing police officers who are supposed to be, "law enforcers", breaking the law they’re supposed to enforce. I always see cops speeding for no good reason. Now, I know they're not going to any emergency, and here's the reason I know that…
-You're doing the posted speed limit which we'll say is 45. Just then, you notice in your rear view mirror that an officer is approaching in the next lane at about 50-55mph. Now, this person is clearly breaking a law they gave an oath to protect, but that's not the first thing you think. The first thing you might think is, "man, I sure hope they catch whoever they're after", or “I hope they get to that crime scene in enough time.”
But just then, you see them stop at a traffic signal. Okay, now you're confused. Why don’t they have their lights on and blow through? They’re just… sitting there, waiting for the light to turn green… Is this what they do in an emergency? Not hardly. So the light changes and everyone’s off again. You reach the posted speed limit but the cop continues to pull away.
I followed one, one day and they ended up in a drive-thru.
So why do good cops go bad? Hmm, maybe it’s because they’re not worried about anyone writing them a citation. A sort of, “perceived immunity” to the law is my guess. But what happens if the average citizen does that? Well, down here in Florida you pay a hefty $180+ ticket.
