Ok, lately this is a topic that has really started to irk me lately driving around Des Moines. For instance today I was running an errand over lunch in a 35 MPH zone probably going about 35-40 MPH myself and this cop car goes by me probably doing about 45 or a little more. No lights on and he weaves in and out of traffic some never using his turn signals, gets in the left turn lane and waits for the green and never uses a left turn signal in the process of turning left. All these are violations I'm sure this cop has given tickets out for at some time.
I notice several cops in the Des Moines and surrounding suburbs that drive just like this latley. I can understand if they are going to a call but usually they'd flash their lights if they needed to get there in a hurry. But if you are going to give any of us a ticket for driving like that let's not be hypocritical and have disregard for the rules of the road just because you are driving a squad car. Maybe there was a 2 for 1 donut sale going on that he was in a hurry to get to, I dunno...
