Perhaps cops should set the example then, by NOT speeding?

It's a congenital defect. For the past few months I've apparently been debating with a 'law and order' type author, on a local board, who thinks "police powers good, personal liberties bad."

People like to side with law enforcement, in hopes that they'll receive the benefits of being "down with the team"

It's kind of like being in high school, when you agreed with what the cool people were saying, so that their "cool halo" would cover you as well.

Well this guy apparently wrote a biography of our Provincial police chief, who thinks that he's in charge of the 1929 Chicago Police Department.

'Round here being someone who thinks for himself gets you branded as a cop hater one day, then a cop suck-up the next.

I'd be pissed if they all stopped speeding. Cops going the speed limit fucks up traffic more than a Florida Buick convention. People won't pass a cop, even if they were doing 25 on an interstate.

And speaking of handicapped spots, I rarely see someone use them who is actually handicapped. They may have a tag but I've seen them park at my gym to get on the treadmill and run me into the ground.

You're right that most people won't pass a cop, no matter what lane he's in or what speed he's doing. I routinely pass cops at 10-15 Khm over the limit, on 100 Kmh highways.

Same here. I will pass a cop all day long if they are going under the limit with no lights on.
