Police speeding

I think they should set an good example to the citizens. I have seen police cars not only speeding, but they are running red lights as well, even when they are not on duty or in pursuit of criminals. But most of the time, if they were to be questioned, they could give many reasons for the blames. Therefore, police shouldn't be endowed with absolute power, or else we will suffer under the reigns of police-state sooner or later.

I have a problem with the very people that is suppose to inforce the law not upholding the law just to get to where they want to be a couple seconds sooner.If there is a reason for them speeding that is understandable but it is kind of hard to explain to your children that yes the nice policeman is there to make sure the bad guys that break the law go to jail so we can be safe, can and do break the speed laws without a second thought and no consequences just because they wear a policemans uniform.

I do agree with you all the police should set good example of discipline to the public and not abuse their power. Of course the police are given the privilege to speed on the road if they are to carry out their emergency duty. I did see police petrol didn’t bother about the pedestrian cross at the time when they are driving relaxingly along. I do dislike seeing the police using the government cars as their private vehicles.

Yes men in uniform should set example to all the people around them, its a sad story that they take advantage of it. I don't like those kind of police attitude, they should be professional enough to noticed it. I know some of them still doing the right job and letting the community know what the right things to do.

My hometown has a speed limit of 25mph. I don't know why. It seems really dumb to me. Anyway, everytime a cop gets behind me I make sure to slow down to exactly 25mph. It is amazing how every time they tailgate me and then turn off as soon as they get a chance. I know the cops don't make the rules, but if they are that concerned with not following them then something is wrong.

I thought that they were suppose to obey speed limits posted unless you are responding to an emergency and then they were allowed 10 mph over but only if they had lights and sirens active.

The police can do what they want, haven't you noticed that. They are above the law. I mean, why shouldn't they be? Of course that is sarcasm. They should uphold the law to the letter, that is their Job!!!! It also angers me when a car passes me that is going way to fast and the driver is in a police uniform. I guess their personal cars carry the same weight as their police cars. Some day something may put a stop to it, but I doubt it very seriously.

your right, and its one of my biggest pet peeves. I think some people get power like that , and its goes to their heads. Some officers end up thinking they just go made god and do whatever, and they arent obiding citizens like the rest of us.
