Cops - left lane blockers and speeders using lightbars illegally and fail to stop for police
Apologies if this has already been posted here
http://timesdispatch.com/servlet/Sat...&oasPN=%21news or if you prefer: http://tinyurl.com/dje3t N.J. police object to stop of 95-mph convoy Officers heading home from Katrina duty got warning, then got mad <snip> Virginia State Police said they logged "numerous" 911 calls early Sept. 18 from motorists complaining about marked cars from the Passaic County Sheriff's Office and Wayne Police Department driving dangerously near Weyers Cave. With Virginia State Police troopers busy working other cases, only Augusta County Deputy Mike Roane was available to answer the call. Roane averted a potential disaster, Fisher said, after clocking the convoy's lead car at 95 mph. "Five or six of them did not stop, they just continued northbound," the Augusta sheriff added. "I think they were in a hurry to get home." <snip> That same day, Virginia troopers patrolling the state's southwestern interstate roads pulled over a roughly 80-car convoy of New York police homebound from Katrina relief, Geller said. That group stuck to the speed limit, though troopers asked them to stay out of the left lane. Speziale told Roane that "law enforcement is all about supporting each other" |

I find myself siding with the lawbreakers even though both are cops. Maybe it's because the speeders are less cop-like than the local cops. I need to think about this... -- Cheers, Bev ================================================== =============== "A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses." -- C.M.Cipolla |

Perhaps it was that the out-of-towners formed a convoy and blasted through the locals. The locals seemed more like victims, which is a feeling they ought to have a lot more often. -- Cheers, Bev ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++ Warning -- Driver carries less than $20 worth of ammunition |
