Ever try chasing down a drunk or a speeder on a busy highway, at night, on an icy road, or rain slicked highway, in order to get the defendant before he or she kills an innocent civilian?

Ever try speeding through an intersection and killing a local girl because you didn't want to stop for a red light?

Please note, this officer was not in pursuit of anyone, but responding to a call of a potentially drunk driver. The intersection in question has a blind spot for the north-bound driver with respect to the west-bound cop.

The cop had a history of speeding http://www.abqjournal.com/201659/news/family-sues-apd-over-patrol-suv-fatal-crash.html

I have personally been behind an Albuquerque cop who was speeding on Paseo Del Norte going west-bound. He hit speeds well over 80 mph in a 60 mph zone, with no lights or siren on. He stopped at a red light just down the road, and due to lights/traffic, I managed to hang with him at legal speeds. I followed him (on my route home, not going out of my way) into a neighborhood in the neighboring city of Rio Rancho. Not responding to a call, no lights, no siren, just in a hurry to get home.

Hope you filed a report ... I would have and have done so in the past. Is sometimes trouble but if am going to be in trouble for reporting the truth ... So be it.

What’s your solution, disolve the police? Who you gonna call when your neighbor gets drunk and keeps you up all night or you have a heart attack?
