It's not being updated anymore, the creators stopped doing anything with the site. They were getting attacked or something by another site.

They did. By other police officers.

Ok I wasn't sure who was doing the attacking. I'm glad it was other police officers though.

Okay, First off I'll admit I didn't read through the entire thread.....mostly because it's the same dribble by the same guys...that I couldn't give a crap about explaining anything to...but I did see a couple of members who I would like to realize that they don't fully understand what they see...when they see it.
I'm particularly talking about seeing radio cars going through an intersection with lights on and then shutting them off.
As with the Fire Department(because you will see us do it also) the Police Department assigns units to a particular location. However in the course of your tour....you may get called out of that area for some reason. Now the job is over(or never was for real) and your sector is still uncovered. To get back quickly and "safely" you will flip on the light bar and go through to the next intersection. It has little to do with not wanting to "wait at a light".
It's funny what gets some people's panties in a bunch.....want some cheese with that whine?

Worried about police officers being held accountable....PLEASE....some of you guys aren't even worried about criminals being held accountable. Hypocrites us?.....take a look in the mirror and tell me you don't do for "your own" first.
What a crock of ****....

Who in here isn't worried about criminals being held accountable?

So that deputy sheriff is equivalent to "half of all police"? There are shady people in every walk of life. But just like everything else in the world people love to exaggerate and take things to the extreme.

Remember on OS, math, common sense, or any rational though process especially with these types of issues isn't a strong suit... just like 95% of all rich people do cocaine and heroine. We know this to be true because people have seen one or two rich people do it.

But then again, I don't want to be accused of reading through the lines.

The problem with this whole thread is that it is based on a website of a vocal minority that are giving those in law enforcement a bad name.

Most officers I know are not going to gripe if they get a ticket, but does professional courtesy exist??? You bet.

Just as it does in every single profession on this planet, from Lawyers, Doctors, Judges, Concert Promoters, Athletes, Ministers etc.

You quote several incidents of poliec brutality and use that to indict an entrie profession.

Do you have any idea of how many contacts that the police in the United States have with the citizenry, and how few actually result in a use of force, much less to an execssive level??

It's miniscule. And to imply that officers as a whole cannot be trusted or are dishonest is simply not logical.

As far as the question of cops not writing other cops tickets, its fairly simple? Do officers cite civilians 100% of the time, while blindly allowing other officers to violate traffic laws with impunity? No. They cut civilians breaks, just as they do other officers.

And in all honesty, this is really revolving around the most minor of traffic infractions, speeding.

Not criminal conduct.

I totally agree, anecdotal evidence cannot be used to generalize an entire workforce. We all know people that give their professions bad names, just as we know people that do a great job.
That being said, this is funny. The original story, not the subsequent crying about police.

Well, I'm glad I don't have to follow the law now that I know police officers don't.

Way to set the example.

Do you really want to go down the route of generalization? Think hard about it because you're doing exactly what a lot of people tend to get bent out of shape about.

Re: How dare police officers and their family members follow the law

Man you're living in a fantasy world. Police let people off speeding tickets ALL the time. It's clear this thread was just started so you could talk about whatever your agenda is.

You don't understand it is a type of blue code where officers are resistant give other officers tickets. The shock of it all.

Generalization? So far we've had at least two police offifcers come in here and say they would never ticket another officer. From there, I can only include that a fair percentage of officers do it. I'm sorry if I find that a bit ridiculous. I think in order to uphold the law, you would have to follow it. If you don't follow the law and get caught, I thought you should be punished MORE severe than your average joe. Apparently, with many officers that's not the case. It's not about "all policemen are scum" or anything....because I certainly don't think that. But I do think that public authority figures should have a higher standard than everybody else when it comes to driving. Sorry.

So when you, or anyone else here, gets off with a warning for speeding then it is wrong as well? We are talking about speeding tickets here. Speeding tickets.

Neither of those guys blanketly stated said they wouldn't write a ticket for every possible offense. Ten miles over the limit in parts of Virginia is 65-70 MPH while the actual speed limit in California is 65-70 MPH in most areas.

And you're actually going to sit there and be bothered by one cop giving another cop a pass on that?

It seems to me certain people are simply looking for reasons to be upset with authority, be it the police, government, or any other similar body.

No and it's not wrong if an officer gets off with a warning as well. But when the police officer pulls over someone for speeding and then doesn't give him or her a ticket because he or she finds out that person is also a police officer etc... then I have a problem with it.

Write all the warnings you like, but don't do it just because that person is a cop.

Why not? We all get perks in our current jobs. I really don't see the big deal if it's just pertaining to a ticket for 10-15 miles an hour over the speed limit. However, DUI's, excessive speeding, or abuse of power are different stories.

lol, we are talking about speeding tickets people. Some of you act like police are not arresting people for murder.

I think the bigger issue is that people have a problem with them being hypocritical.
