Depends on the Cop...about 15 years a go my wife was an RN in a premature baby unit at North Shore Hospital on Long Island. A premmie she had been trying to pull through for a couple of weeks died in her care....she was devastated and at 5:00AM, after her shift had ended, she was heading home on a Sunday morning on a near deserted highway. She was in her nurse garb and traveling 10 miles an hour over the speed limit. A cop pulled her over and in tears she told him what happened.
The F’n prick had the nerve to tell her that is why life is so important and she should slow down so she could make sure to safe guard her own...He returned to his squad car, made her sit there and cry for about 15 minutes, returned to her and gave her a ticket.
What a piece of Sh!t this cop was and if she ever recognizes him, ever, I have a score to settle with the piece of human garbage.
speeding and seatbelt laws are laws that are deemed criminal before a real crime happens... “for the safety of society”, to “prevent injurty to others”... instead of making the penalties for such accidents and accidental deaths what they should be, setting fines for behavior that may lead to such outcomes brings in more money...
don’t let anyone try to tell you that it ain’t all about the money...
