Would have been Knox HWP
So this morning on the way to work I was traveling through a school 40km/h zone and up ahead I see a cop car on the other side of the road put his lights on, then do an aggressive u turn, sliding the tail end of his car out as he did it, then floor it to what must have been 70+ to pullover a cabbie who was obviously speeding through the school zone. I'm confused where dangerous driving becomes a part of enforcing the safe driving?
I understand marked cop cars are allowed to speed (though I don't understand why, cops are terrible drivers), but what if some kid was crossing the road when that happened and got hit...which is the point behind the school zone speed limit. Would the cop be liable or would he get off a culpable driving charge because they are allowed to speed?
Wish I had it on dashcam.
