This baw is fricked. Travelling over 100MPH in a State Police vehicle to an overtime detail.

The Louisiana State Police have determined that a trooper involved in a fatal crash last month in Pointe Coupee Parish was driving more than 100 mph even though he was not responding to an emergency call, according to two law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation.
The crash claimed the life of a 64-year-old Lottie man and also injured the trooper, Christopher Kelley, who remains on medical leave. Kelley, who was hired in 2015, is assigned to the State Police's Alexandria-based Troop E and had been driving to New Orleans at the time of the crash to work a Mardi Gras detail.
Assistant District Attorney Tony Clayton told The Advocate that he plans to present the results of a "brutally honest" State Police investigation to a grand jury, which will be tasked with determining whether Kelley should face criminal charges. The prosecutor said he intends to send Kelley a target letter and to present the case to the panel within the next two weeks.

Troopers are notorious for recklessly speeding. One passed me the other day on i10 like I was standing still.

It is my understanding that there is a statute that states that no vehicle, including emergency and law enforcement vehicles, may ever travel more than 15 mph above the posted limit.
Now, good luck finding a judge to enforce said law.

A cop acting above the law? I'm shocked.

Damn! He deserves like 3 or 4 weeks suspension with pay.

They do it all the time. I had to go to Alexandria last week and got behind a trooper on the way there and back that were both cruising at 80mph+ on 190. I just get in behind them and match speed.

No reason for it to go to Grand Jury. AG is a fricking pussy.

Throw the book at him for killing a guy because he was late to work or abolish the speed limit for the rest of us too. One or the other.

Better than crashing on his way back from Mardi Gras

who remains on medical leave.
You know, like they'd do anyone else in this situation.

Lock the hired thug up

From an HR standpoint, I have an employee that is still basically a new hire. He is is on benefits from a self inflicted on the job injury and is currently receiving benefits. If His negligence is proven, I can deny his current and future claims. I think I'm going to call the guy in legal and see if we can't make both of our lives easier over lunch.

If the DA really wanted to charge the trooper, he could issue a bill of information for negligent homicide with the stroke of his pen. A grand jury indictment is only required if the charge carries a life sentence or the death penalty, and NH does not.
Instead, he will do what DAs often do in politically sensitive cases--let a grand jury decide whether to charge him.
The grand jury proceeding is secret, and only the DA has input. If he wants, he can put on a half-arse case so the grand jury is less likely to find cause to indict.
Then the DA issues a press release that says the grand jury has spoken: no charge will be made. Takes the heat off of him.
This procedure if often used when a politician or other connected person does something as minor as DWI or domestic abuse. In an ordinary case, there would never be a grand jury. Joe Citizen would be billed in an instant.
The DA's response to such criticisms is often that he went to the grand jury to "take politics out of it." But since the proceedings are secret, we don't really know if he did.
