I take the extra time to make sure my car bucks back at a stop sign to ensure that I stopped all the way. As for the yellow lines, not unless it is an accident. I do not pass in no-passing zones. Most of the laws I break are not accidental, like speeding and rapid acceleration.

You will change lanes without signal, cross solid yellow lines, roll thru stop signs and so on.... think of all the things you have got away with.... and you cry the one time you get pulled over....
GitDat said:Just like all of the cops I see pull all of this same stuff and more on almost a daily basis. Common sense says.. if you want people to respect you and the traffic laws you're trying to enforce, try following them and abiding by ALL of them yourself. Do as I say, not as I doPeople are watching. Lead by example.
More regards to non-call police driving, the cops who blow though stop lights because they don't want to sit there, it's very common. sure it's done in a safe manner, most of the times a cop will flick the lights and blow by but there's STILL a chance of an accident for not abiding to the law. Laws are set for safty purposesAlexIX said:I feel I should let you know that police are exempt from many traffic laws to respond to calls quickly, lights on or not.
They will use their common-sense in regards to what is safe or not when en route to a call.
not alot of them, and most of that 'high-speed' training is from watching videosAlexIX said:They are trained in high-speed driving

the DPS guy was like "doh" when he saw tony's uniform.
he thought he had a good one. of course it is common courtesy to not ticket each other. i couldnt care less. just make friends with the locals and they will let you go too. go for a "citizen observer" ride and they will get to know you. you can do that with any department anywhere. background chack and disclaimers and you go for a cool ride. i've done it plenty of times. one of my college buddies is a sergeant here now, i need to go with him for a few busts. rock out.

You can't tell me that if you were put into that position that you wouldn't have an attitude of some sorts. Since I've been in Iraq I feel that I'm owed a little bit more than the average person. Do you think I shouldn't be entitled to anything more than the person that didn't risk their life for you?
unless it's to cut off someone that did it to me)

truth, read it and eat it, you think small town cops go though the top training#1922 said:It's that type of unknowledgable post that gives GOOD cops a bad rap. I'd be curious to know what agency's teach their cops pursuit driving by watching a video.
