I'm curious. Do the police have to obey this law, or are they special?

So true. When I was in HS, I was turning 9.5 - 9.7 in the 100 yard dash - almost world class. Today, at 62, I have no idea because I don't try, but assume it would be about 12 - 13 seconds even though I am in great shape for my age due to my Bow Flex and walking/jogging regimen. I used to be able to string 20+ 6 minute miles together - today I run 3 in about 26 minutes. Getting old doesn't suck yet, but I also have trouble snagging flies from surfaces so i know my once snappy reflexes are also slowing down.
