Anyone who knows, is married to, or hangs with cops, knows this dirty little secret. "The law is for everyone else - not us." I believe they call it "professional courtesy."
Now before everyone gets their feathers up, understand that I like cops. They do a dirty job, and put their lives on the line on a daily basis. But we, and they know it's anything but a level playing field.
Just wish more of them had the moral courage to stand up and tell it like it is...

Saw the linked promo... looks like a captain obvious yawner. Cops speed. They speed everywhere. They are always on a call. blah blah blah... just a lie. Even worse with other violations like no signal.
They should have done this in Illinois. But there's no way they are keeping up with the troopers on the ground without getting busted. 90, 100, 120mph.... seen it many times.
Anyone know where the actual story is? The date indicates this is from October, 2013....
