Thanks. I figure I've not bothered enough time that this one was too much
and too easy. The cop was sitting right there in front of me at the next
light so I had a clear view of his plate number. If people don't report this
sort of thing cops will think they can do wahtever they want with no
repercussions for their reckless behavior. They are there to serve the
public and keep the roads and towns safe. Sometimes they seem to forget
that, and who pays their salary.
