I was preparing to pull out from a stop sign today when a law enforcement vehicle goes flying by. I thought I recognized the vehicle because a police officer that lives in my neighborhood drives a similar vehicle. Anyway, my initial thought was that there must be some emergency, since it appeared that he was doing over 70 in a posted 45mph speedzone. As I prepared to turn into my subdivision....Lo and Behold, I drive past that officer's house just in time to see him get out of the vehicle with his lunch in his hand.
I didn't think anything about it for awhile. Then, my blood began to boil after thinking how rude another officer was to my wife while he was issuing her a speeding ticket for going 12 mph over the limit.
I mean, shouldn't officers be held to higher standards??????
Who does he think he is driving that fast just so he can eat lunch at home with his family???
Can he break the law just because he's in a hurry???? I certainly think not. I'd report him if I knew it would do any good...
I may be missing something but, this does not set well with me.
