Nothing new to us here in South Carolina. Rarely does one see an officer from ANY department or agency doing anything close to the posted speed limit.

I drive a truck locally, and several years ago I was passed in a school zone by a Transport Police vehicle traveling at a speed quite a bit above the limit with no blue lights or siren. Knowing that the Transport cops have C.B. radios in their cars, I keyed up my mike and said "I guess speed limits do not apply to cops around here. It must be nice". Through his rear window I saw what appeared to be him talking into a microphone... and I was told: "It sure is nice, and it's nice for my wife, and my Dad, and my brother and sister. It's one of the perks of the job. Eat your heart out".

That dose of reality is still with me today.

“It sure is nice, and it’s nice for my wife, and my Dad, and my brother and sister. It’s one of the perks of the job. Eat your heart out”.

Get ‘em out of their “jurisdiction” and they’re fair game.
