It’s a common practice for them to run stop signs/lights at high speed without beacons for burglary-in-progress calls in some municipalities, even at high speeds. But it could get other drivers killed.

I had a highway commute and always encountered a State Trooper (same shift) who could have been clocked at over 100mph. Everyday this happened. I wanted to (shoulda, coulda, woulda) video cam this nut and send it in to the MSM.

Kind of like this:

They admitted that the teenager had a green light ONLY after multiple witnesses came forward. They claim the “light-changing” mechanism failed; but their call was “called off” by dispatchers well over 30 seconds before they struck her vehicle as she faced a green light. The parents will get rich off of this one, and rightly so.

I love how they concluded that both vehicles were at fault considering the last paragraph of this article.

Then it needs to stop.
