I live in a city where we had a fatal accident a year or two ago involving a LEO doing a high rate of speed, with no emergency lights on, at night in a 40 mph zone. A lady pulled out of front of the LEO, massive accident happens, lady is killed.
I included that because the other night I was waiting to pull out onto a one way, 3 lane highway in heavy traffic. I observed a LEO flying by everyone doing well over the speed limit in fairly heavy traffic. This annoyed me because when you decide to turn onto a road, you don't time it for condition in which traffic is going twice the speed limit, you assume traffic is going around the speed limit. I almost wanted to report this because you would think the local LEOs would be a little more sensitive to this sort of thing given what happened recently.
I'm not one of those idiots complaining about general LEO speeding. I could care less about that stuff, but I think those emergency lights should always be on if it the speed is unsafe and there is a decent amount of traffic around.
Am I wrong here?
