I hear ya. How many times do you see a police car trucking along at ten miles over the speed limit (without its siren on)? Fast driving is illegal because it is supposed to be dangerous. Why is it less dangerous when a cop does it?

Here in Maine, on a rural two-lane paved road across from where I lived many years ago, a Maine state trooper was driving his cruiser over the speed limit.

He was not on an official call....he was driving over the speed limit because he could.

A woman was backing out of her driveway, and the speeding trooper crashed into her.

He, of course, had minor injuries, but the woman was killed.

The “accident” was investigated by the authorities, but the trooper got off scot-free.

I spend way too much time on the Massachusetts Turnpike. In some of the more rural areas,I am routinely passed by state cops like I am standing still, while going 75mph. They are doing triple digits, easily. If one happens to be in the left lane, they will tailgate you close enough that you can’t even see their headlights in your rearview mirror and stay there until you move. One of these days I’m gonna brake-check one of those A-holes.
