Even moe stupid cop tricks
The other day I was driving through a small city in Illinois, when I
noticed a cop come out of a cross street through a red light. He turned in front of me to go the other way. Fortunately I know enough to recognize that if a cop is moving he is dangerous, so I avoided killing him. He then turned his lights on, swerved to his right, cut in front of a whole bunch of other cars, and came back my way. **** him if he thinks I am moving over, he will probably just hit me and blame me. So I simply allow him to cruise by on my right, cut me off, cut off someone as he gets back right, et cetera. He then stops at the next light in the left turn lane. Oh, he had turned off all signals immediately after turning around. He then guns it and cuts off everyone when the light turns green. He even almost hits the oncoming traffic who will eventually turn left across our lanes. Still no lights. As I watch ****tard drive away, I notice a vehicle in front of me swerve into my lane, almost hitting me, because ****tard asshole cop number two comes barreling out of another side street without lights, turns and skids across traffic again, almost hits oncoming traffic, as he is turning on his lights. I thought they were supposed to use them BEFORE endangering innocent people. He then turns his off and stops at the next red light. Mind you these lights are about half the distance apart that Chicago streets on the SOuth side are going East to West - IE. less than 1/16th of a mile. As that light is turning green, another idiot cop comes out from the right again almost hitting asshole cop number two as he blows through the intersection, both swerving right and left, one barely missing a parked car. Seriously, do these guys go to the Charlie Chaplin school of driving or what? Eventually we have about 5 squads stopped at the next light, waiting so they can cut off more traffic, everyone in front of them wondering which one they are going to pull a Rodney King on. I decided to take another route and ended up blowing down a 30MPH street at 50MPH or so knowing that there just aren't enough idiot cops around to actually see another one. On the radio today it became apparent what was up. A donut shop, no joke, had been in the process of being held up, and the "gunman" had actually hit somebody and presumably made him drop his tray of donuts. The victim wasn't even hospitalized. I guarantee had this been any other business, the typical response time of 15 minutes or more would have been the case. ************************* Dave |

They were able to get three units to a felony in progress through traffic without hitting anything or anyone. That's what I mean about police vehicles not being ordinary traffic and why I always give them plenty of room to pass or turn anytime I see one. -- --- jaybird --- I am not the cause of your problems.

So the cop that nearly cliped my car as he did 90mph down a 45mph posted arterial road was just doing good driving? Hmm... if I did the same thing, myself having good reflexs and timing would have been cited for speeding more than 40 over, which is legally very bad in IL, reckless driving, tailgating, and probably anything else the cop could have come up with. But the standard for cop driving is 'didn't hit anyone'. Cute. |

If I'm being held up I want the cops to have the accelerator to the floor. Perhaps you can let them know if you dial 911 to take their time, only drive posted speed limits and for pete's sake stay out of the left lane and not get near anyone else. (Then again I'm probably killfiled as you disagree with some things I say) |

The law does not require that and in fact makes special clarification that driving with lights and/or siren activated can sometimes be more dangerous. The activation of emergency equipment is not required and is left to the discretion of the trained police vehicle operator (at least in Texas): § 546.004. EXCEPTIONS TO SIGNAL REQUIREMENT. (c) A police officer may operate an authorized emergency vehicle for a law enforcement purpose without using the audible or visual signals required by Section 546.003 if the officer is: (snipped parts not applicable...) (B) because of traffic conditions on a multilaned roadway, vehicles moving in response to the audible or visual signals may: (i) increase the potential for a collision; or (ii) unreasonably extend the duration of the pursuit; To people who have never driven an emergency vehicle, it can sometimes be hard to understand. It's not like in TV and the movies where everyone magically ends up stopped on the right shoulder and stops at intersections as they are required to. People move all over the place and it sometimes takes longer to get them out of your way than it would to just go around them with no lights activated. Our law understands that and allows us the discretion to use the best and quickest way to get to the scene while operating under the standards of due care. -- --- jaybird --- I am not the cause of your problems.
