Accountants have the ins/outs when it comes to taxes
Dr's know where to get the best healthcare at minimal cost with great service
Home builders get to build their homes cheaper with better materials
People who work at arena's usually get the best tickets to concerts/shows (I have a great contact at the Office Depot Center here where the NHL Panthers play (or used to play..LOL!) and where concerts are held. )
Cops get to get themselves out of tickets and can speed all they want
It's all part of the territory. However one can game the system, they will. Not that it is right or wrong, it is reality.

My parents are insurance brokers, so when I first got my car, I didn't even have to wait for my evidence of insurance, my dad just printed it out and handed it to me

i think your more help to people if you are alive
the people that did run there to save lives might have lost them when the towers did fall
what help were they then ?
if you really think about it all hell is breaking loose and you have no idea whats going on
where would you be running ....Towards or away from the towers?

So one day, while eating ice cream in Georgetown, a car full of idiots decide its a good idea to get out of their car with shot guns and chase some schmuck into a store. The whole area went into a frenzy. While most people were streaming away from the idiots, the police were running in the opposite direction, towards the gun wielding idiots. It was like a movie. People running away. The cops streaming towards the criminals to take care of thee situation.
Cops don't really have any extraordinarily selfish motives to put themselves in such situations to protect our lives. It's not the money. It's not the fame. In today's society, a cop really isn't looked up to anymore. But day after day, they put themselvs on the line to protect us. As long as they continue to put their uniform on everyday, they will continue to have my respect.

I think radar/laser gun technology is whoopin azz all over Valentine 1 tech. I've been driving with my friend many a times with his V1, and i have borrowed the V1 also for many highway trips... and I've noticed in the last 6 months, there have been SEVERAL incidents where the V1 has picked up absolutely nothing. In fact, I would say it fails to pick up about 60% of cops i encounter. I have even passed a cop, who was perpendicular to the highway... sitting basically 10 feet from the highway.... and have seen him pointing the gun directly at me as I have driven by and absolutely no noise or lights from the V1. Needless to say I have stopped bothering to even use it because of the false sense of security it gives anymore.

hey jonathan,
is the place you are talking about on I-80 ... going eastward from State College onwards ... like just
a couple of exits away?
there is this 3 lane that goes up on a mountain ... very good stretch of open road to speed up .
Thats where I usually speed up too ... going about 100 mph ... I have always thought nobody can get caught there, because there is no median for a cop to wait and clock you.
maybe I wont speed that much anymore in that area.

but i agree (and accepted) that it's reality. nothing i can do about it, and nothing i am going to do about it. it's corrupted, it's there. and that's still why i hate them (maybe you can say it's personal, but i just hate cops)

Because part of the system is corrupt. However, that doesn't give us the right to break the law either. If you do see a police officer breaking the law, report him. If nothing happens, keep trying until it gets resolved.
You also need to remember that cops have a very special and important job. They are there to protect us. They are there to be shot at by criminals. On any given day, they might not come home to their families. Do you remember the news footage of 9/11? Which way were the police running? Towards or away from the towers?
Don't you think that the risk they take at work gives them some leeway when it comes to the law? This may be just my opinion, but I believe those who are police officers, firefighters, and military servicemen deserve way more leniency when it comes to common law.
Is possible death included in your job description?

and on a side note, i NEVER ever said that it gives us the "right" to break the law too. if i do speed and get caught, i would be mad but i would accept it. when and where did i say that coz' a cop can speed and get away with it, i should be too? i only said it's unfair that they could get away with it. that's different (again).
and back on the heroic topic. i never said their jobs are easy too. heck, no jobs are easy imho, period. and it's not like they don't know about their job descriptions when they join neither, and that's why they are making the kind of money they do. but if i were to do the comparisons, firemen imho are true heros. they always forget about themselves and they always go out and save lives. however for cops, it's both ways yes some of them are heros, like those who ran into wtc to save people's lives. but we also get a lot of cops out there who's there to just trying to meet their quotas every month on giving out tickets (don't argue on this, it's a fact already, a cop admitted to me in person)

The limitations of any radar detector is just that. It warns you when there is a signal similar to their radar guns nearby or in the direction of. V1 and all the rest DOES NOT tell you where the police are. Whoever can make such a device will be very wealthy.
