Has to be a North East US thing. The breeding grounds of Kerry, Dukakis, et al.
Another reason to cut them loose from the rest of the country............They are pretty much a foreign country other than a few rural state areas that should move out. They gain nothing living there and lose most everything else.
That’s a shock. Cops making the commute worst than it already is.
My favorite memory was driving into the North end of Carrolton Tx around 8:15 on a weekday. Now this is Southbound on I35E. Really bad, really congested. Everybody at a crawl. Motorcycle cops making me slam on my brakes as they weave in and out of traffic to pull over a “speeder”. Don’t know how anybody could be speeding. But whatever. I damn near hit the idiot, and so did about three other drivers. Of course he got his target onto the shoulder, but not quite. So tied up the right hand lane. So it went from a mess to a nightmare. Good job coppers.
These guys don’t give a shiite about traffic flow or safety. It’s just a way to punch a time card. If they f*ck up every bodies day or cause an accident, too damn bad.
The DEC “police officer” probably received an emergency call to go file a $1M fine on a coal plant...you know how imoortant it is to shake down everybody under thus regime’s watch...
“Environmental Conservation Police??”
YES, comrade! Do you have difficulty with that concept? Perhaps some re-education will re-ignite your revolutionary zeal! /s;)
Probably drunk.
Watched the vid. Yeah, that cop is not a good driver, but you see similar every day if you drive the 405 in the OC or LA. Or the 75 or North Dallas Tollway in Dallas.
ECP SWAT Team, probably, on “patrol”.
When police abuse their power my respect turns to disgust.
The mission of the Division of Law Enforcement is “To protect and enhance the environment and natural resources of the State of New York while also protecting the health and safety of its people through the enforcement of Environmental Conservation and related laws and public education.”
This mission is accomplished by over 330 sworn members of the Division of Law Enforcement. They focus their efforts on Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) enforcement although they are empowered to enforce all laws of the state. Their mission encompasses two broad enforcement areas: fish & wildlife and environmental quality. Fish & wildlife enforcement includes addressing complaints of poaching, the illegal sale of endangered species, and checking hunters, fishermen, trappers and commercial fishermen (lobsters, clams, bait fish, food fish) for compliance. Environmental quality enforcement includes investigating timber thefts, illegal water pollution, improper use or application of pesticides, commercial vehicles producing excessive emissions, freshwater and saltwater wetland degradation, illegal mining and almost any area that affects air, land or water quality law violations.
Enforcement is comprised of both proactive and reactive patrols in marked police vehicles. Environmental Conservation Police Officers (ECOs) investigate complaints and document their findings. When sufficient evidence is found, they prepare their case for a successful prosecution in court.
The majority of the division is comprised of uniformed ECOs, who are assigned patrol areas of one or two counties. The supervisory staff includes lieutenants, captains, majors and colonels. Complimenting the uniformed staff is the Bureau of Environmental Crimes Investigation, who investigate significant environmental crimes including misdemeanors and felonies. The division also has a full time dispatch center, a permanent training academy, a police K-9 unit and a marine enforcement unit. Overseeing the entire operation is a uniformed Director of the Division of Law Enforcement.

If I hadn’t read it myself....I would have thought it a Southpark episode up there with the “Man-Bear-Pig”.
Please tell me it can’t get this bad in the real world West of the Hudson......do I even need to ask?
Talk about a police state in action.
Monkeys to save, LIGHTS AND SIREN.....!!!!
“Environmental Conservation Police??”
Trout Troopers
The cruiser did signal before going in front of the jeep.
Looks likely to me that the jeep saw the cop car's signal, and decided to speed up so as not to let the cop get in front of him.
Most motorists have that bad habit. Cars signal for a reason: it's a warning that the car will enter your lane and that the driver hasn't got eyes in the back of his head. Speeding up in response to such a signal is moronic, dangerous, and rude.
He was heading off to an emergency. Someone threw a cigarette butt into a stream and it hit an endangered fish in the head. APB out on the perp. All vehicles respond immediately and exercise extreme prejudice against the perp if spotted.
Actually, he was making the morning donut run. A lot of folks were depending on him.
A state Department of Environmental Conservation Police Crown Vic cruiser.
That’s right: IN A CROWN VIC.
This is normal driving on the 610 loop in Houston.
For some, that may be self-inflicted.
Typical arrogant lawbreaking cop......
