LMAO-I knew exactly what was going to be posted on here just by reading the title because I was just b*tching to my friend about this yesterday. A cop was riding up this car's arse so bad, he could have passed him but he didn't. I was like, okay, so if the guy in front of him speeds up then the cop will pull him over for speeding!

What Michelle said. Also - you never know where they are going or why. It's best just to move out of the way!

Re: Why do cops get to...

I have actually never seen that. I wonder why when people hear and see the lights and sirens that don't attempt tp get over for the cops, firemen/women, or ambulance. You know for sure they would be the first ones *****ing that the ambulance, or cops took too long to get to their house.

Liz,

Some don't simply becasue they could care less., one night Steve responded to a fire and some lady was sitting in her car at the hydrant, they told h er to move, she wouldn't so they gave her a ticket Yes firefighter do carry ticketbooks and can write them as necessary

Re: Why do cops get to...

I don't think she was talking about cops/ambulances/fire trucks with their lights on.
I know for a fact my brother and brother-in-law (both cops) drive as fast as they can b/c they want to, for example on their way home (they are cops upstate-keep their cars at home). They don't have their lights on but they'll ride your ass till you move, and it's not an emergency.

Re: Why do cops get to...

I just saw one put his lights on to go through a red light...then turn them off
That will cause an accident

Re: Why do cops get to...

Even though they dont have their lights on, they still may be responding to a call. So if they are driving fast with no lights on, it may be that they are still trying to get to a call and it isnt a life and death matter, but they need to get there soon.

Re: Why do cops get to...

No actually the cops Im talking about are the ones that get onto the LIE get right into the left lane and SPEED and ride peoples a$$es... then they decide to get into the median and clock people speeding on the other side. No emergency just getting people for doing what they were doing. Its a pet peeve of mine.

Michelle W - I like when the firemen go to a fire and a car is parked in front of the hydrant and they brak the windows and put the hose through the car to use it. Serves the driver right for parking in front of a hydrant.
