Yes it should have been an issue. If a civilian would have been ticketed for it, so should any police officer. A badge shouldn't give you the right to violate traffic laws regardless if you're on duty or not.

 

Unless they are on their way to help with katrina or another disaster,but yesi agree for anything else not an emergency. In Va they truely are nuts and don't like yankees. 20 over is automatic reckless driving,think of a road in nJ that would have a 65 mph limit in Va its got a 60 mph speed limit so they get that magic 20+. Radar detectors are illegal even though they can't detect my V-1. Got some bad stories from there but this isn't the place to write them. Just think of Va as the home of the 3000+ dollar 20 mph over the limit ticket.

 

This would be correct if they were off duty. They were en route to an EMERGENCY call out, these were'nt a group of officers on their way to Mardi Gras, these were officers en route with heavy equipment to provide aid to a disaster area.

 

I'm sorry but an onduty officer should have to follow the same laws we do, unless lights on for an emergency.

And did I understand that right that they were pulled over for going to SLOW in the fast lane?! Sounds like they were blazing a trail to Katrina victims.

Dont get me wrong, I'm not picking on you, or other cops for that matter. I just dont have the opinion that cops are above the law, on duty or not.

 

and please no comments like "I AMTHE LAW."

save that for the man.

 

LOL

 

lol

 

Opinion noted. Next question.

 

What kind of non-lethal weapons do you carry? Are bean bag shotguns and tear gas paintball guns common?

 

Hey nota.....i'm sure this has probably already been asked before, but oh well.

1. do you ever speed when you're off duty in your audi?
2. do you ever speed in your police car when you're not going to a call or pursuing a suspect?
