Same. We pay enough in taxes. Many times that are set up in places that are perfectly safe for higher speeds. Straightaways with few cars.

I never see cops doing hard work like pulling over drivers who are cutting over at the last minute at exits/onramps or directing traffic when red lights are out.

not here. cops only pull you over if you're 10+ over the speed limit.

also I never hit the brakes even when i'm speeding. it's like fouling someone in basketball and holding up your hands like you dindu nuffin

Most of the time, especially when they've got a good hiding spot

Sure do. I do the same thing if you have a light out. I don't think it's trashy, just being neighborly

I don't see why people think it's wrong to warn others


they slow down which is the point right? public safety.

I always help people avoid police, if I can. Nothing wrong with wanting my fellow man to stay safe.

Old white people do not. There's a cop on hwy 71 going north to Palmetto 95% of the time. If you're doing 60 he gives you a ticket (douche). I'm glad when the old folks cruising in their 90s Toyota pickups flash their lights and give a friendly wave. Brings you back to old times.

If he's swerving all over the road, hell no.

Otherwise yes.

Hell yea, every time I see one of them sitting in the shadows lurking for the next joker to pass by. Now with that being said I am a 100 percenter of Back the Blue, but kinda chaps the arse when one of them passes me doing 80 in a 60 on I-12 just trying to get home like I am.

I would expect this kind of argument from a fricking moron cop. Hey a-hole, why is my fricking house robbed if you doughnut eating dipshits are so effective? WTF do I need you for if my house has already been robbed? So you can come snoop around my fricking house and waste my time with your shite paperwork that will catch exactly no one?
