cop stories

[David Kavanagh]

I'm always amazed at the road antics of some cops! I know some cops,
so I should ask them.
I used to live on a road that connected a suburban town to the
Rochester airport. Normal traffic on the road was 35-40 mph. On a
regular basis (usually in the evenings), the Sherrif's cars would zoom
up and down that road so fast that you could hear them coming from 1/2
mile away! I'll bet they were doing 70-80 mph easily. No lights or
siren... WTF?
Avoiding accidents on the road relies on following established rules
and looking out for the occasional joker who isn't When law
enforcement breaks the rules, when not responding to a call, that is
just not right!
