I support this petition. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen cops
doing double the speed limit without lights or sirens on. |

I support this petition. The same cop that pulls you over for speeding was
the one that was riding your bumper and floored it when you moved out of
his way. |

Personally, I think cops could find a much better use for their time in
this day and age than setting speed-traps for people who are trying to get
back and forth to work. For the most part, it's nothng more than
legalized HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Angelo :
People must consider why police exceed the speed limit. In many cases,
when responding to a crime in progress, emergency equipment would alert
the criminal to the approaching police. Also, many police department
policies and even state traffic laws exclude police vehicles from simple
traffic laws such as speed limits when responding for calls for service,
emergency or not. Also, some police department policies do not allow the
use of emergency equipment unless they are specifically instructed to under
certain circumstances. An officer may need to back up another officer on a
traffic stop but the use of emergency equipment may not be justified. The
first priority is officer safety, therefore the backup officer will respond
as quickly as possible. It is not always what is seems on the surface.
Don't be so quick to think that police just drive fast because they can
get a way with it. Police are generally very busy and have little time to
think about what they want to do. They are performing a service to the
community, and sometimes that may require driving faster than everyone
else. |

Aren't police trained to drive fast and control their vehicle
in all kinds of conditions. The average drivers are not and
they are the ones that cause the accidents, right? |

Joe :
To Mike and Angelo:
Whether the police actually cause accidents is irrelevant. The point still
stands.
This petition refers to when they are not responding to a call and they
are speeding -- it happens all the time, but of course you will never
believe it.
Your point that some departments don't allow use of emergency lights
is exactly what I want to change. |

Joe :
Mike: It doesn't matter how good they are at driving. They can still
make a mistake, or cause someone else to get in an accident.
They should only speed when they are responding to a call.
It is a fact the some, not all, disobey the speed limit to quite an
extent. There is an easy and fair way to curtail this abuse. |

chris :
I support this petition as well as law enforcement officers. but the fact
still stands, as a gwinnett police officers nearly striking me by going
around my vehicle as I was merging into the left turning lane. No lights ,
No siren. Officer then proceeded to accelerate over 90 mph in a residential
45mph zone without any lights or siren. If he is responding to back an
officer up or a call, he may kill those he has sworn to protect. You can
respond in stealth by using emergency lights without sirens. I think they
need to reveiw their department SOP regarding to responding to calls.
Another roswell police officer shot past at the speed of 80-90mph early in
the morning, 4 miles down the road his cruiser was at Quicktrip and he was
at the counter drinking coffee. I assume he was responding to a coffee
theft, yeah? But, you cannot lump every police officer with the ones that
takes advantage of their authority. I was please to over hear a forsyth
county sgt instructing a deputy to slow down on Hwy 400 after the deputy
informed the SGT he was not responding to a call. |

Gemma :
Police are enforcers of the law; they should not be above it. If exceptions
are made for police, then it sends drivers the message that the laws are
merely there to control drivers and are not there for safety.. because
obviouly police have other drivers' safety in mind.. yeah right..
And to police being specially trained.. even if I were to take a driving
course in driving at high speeds safely, I would still get pulled over for
a ticket, despite showing them my certificate proving I am a safe driver in
all conditions... |

Ray Randall :
Police officers should obey the very laws they enforce. I have on several
occasions followed police officers in excess of 100mph going to lunch.
Police officers abuse their authority more often than not. They are
supposed to set an example. I personally despise police officers. They
believe they are somehow superior and above the law. Police officers get 2
hours worth of driving training...I myself have an SCCA license...does this
mean I can speed? Absolutely not....and I have been more thoroughly
trained than police to drive a vehicle at high speeds. |

Johnny D :
It use to be that cops always drove the speed limit. That was part of what
earned our respect. Now, they are always speeding but what's worse it
when they are off duty they drive even worse. Everyone's heard the
threat that if we don't let them speed when they want to they won't
speed when you call them in an emergence. Fact is, they should be held to
high standards which is not only how it should be but would also regain a
little of the respect they have lost. |

Filthwatch :
Unfortunately those corrupt filthy pigs will ALWAYS get away with it...just
like the recent offence committed by a pig doing over 150 mph....Testing
his car. I HATE THESE COWARDS! May they ALL rot in hell.
Best thing to do is get car-cams and record these speeding pigs. Pigs like
to lie when it suits them so you can use this evidence against them!!! Do
not bother with the IPCC as they will simply pass it on to the DPS who are
filth and are only interested in looking after their own. The DPS will fob
you off with some crap. Best thing to do is post those speeding pigs on the
internet and if you can, Name and shame those pigs. Find out their home
addresses and post them too. |

Metropolitan Police UK :
Police are a bunch of cowards. They would not dare challenging individuals
on a gypsy camp. They are such cowards as they can't work alone. They
suddenly become courageous when with their mates. How many officers would
dare raid a property on their own? ****ing cowards! The Police often
speed...They know they won't get nicked.
76535473 drivers caught speeding!!! Zero robbers caught. The filth are too
lazy to catch real criminals...They need Crimewatch, Crimestoppers, etc to
catch anyone. |

Carter C. :
Why not choose a city and obtain video evidence? Just strap a camcorder
inside your car and record your limit along with the police speeding past
you. There must also be a wealth of video evidence from city cameras of
reckless driving by police. |

followed a speeding speed camera van 2 years ago, complained and then we
were intimidated by police officers (including a senior one) turning up on
our doorstep into dropping the complaint. Throughout, we were given
conflicting information (the van isn't one of ours/ it is but the
driver can't be located/the matter will be dealt with internally and
your continued involvement will cause you more hassle)I now have utter
comtempt for this bunch of law-breaking bully boys |
