It just goes to show that 99% of parking laws are about revenue generation, not public safety.
If the cops don't get a ticket for illegal parking, then neither should anyone else. Otherwise, it's hypocritical, and creates an double standard.
And, even worse, many police do go speeding down the highway without their lights on, thereby creating a clear threat to public safety. I see them blow through stop signs 20 feet from my house all the time. It's just flat out wrong.
Police officers aren't above the law; they're not an elite class. I'm very supportive of this soldier's efforts to achieve consistency and accountability...
I am definitely not saying that police don’t speed for no reason sometimes, but the majority of time you see a cop driving fast they don’t have their lights on it’s because they’re trying not to alert the criminal that they’re coming into the area. Conversely if you see a cop driving really slow with his lights and a siren blazing is probably because there’s 15 people fighting in the street a few blocks away and he’s by himself and he wants them to break up and run away before he shows up and he’s giving him a heads-up he showing up.
