im in agreeance with alota other people who have posted in the way i think coppers do abuse there power, although i cant say EVERY cop does, just alot of MY personal experiences there has been cases where they do, eg. i got pulled over once and got a speeding fine, the copper took off after giving me the fine.... leaving a huge burnout mark down the road??? now umm, there was no other car in sight and i doubt he was going to another emergency like 2 seconds after getting back in his car.
the way i see it, they should abide by road rules like everyone else when there just doing normal patrols and such, just coz they wear a bue uniform and carry a badge doesnt make them any different than anyone else on the road, they should break road rules ONLY when its an emergency, not just because they feel like it and dont think anyone else will say anything simply coz there in a cop car.
