I had a friend/coworker killed in '98 by an officer doing more than 3x the speed limit in a residential neighborhood and blowing a stop. Had no lights on as was responding to a suspicious person call.
Doing 65+ in a 20.
When we asked to get speed humps like Southsdowns has in BR, local government said it would "impede" emergency vehicles. How fast do said emergency vehicles need to go?

What if the neighbor had gotten killed by the suspicious person because the cop arrived too late doing 20 in the neighborhood?

Your local government probably just didn’t want to spend the money on them; local governments are every bit as shitty as state and federal.
Having said that, there’s been significant evidence that speed bumps/humps ultimately cause more harm than good. The federal government of Australia is considering riding the entire nation of them because their recent study showed that for every person saved by speed bumps/humps costs over a dozen lives because emergency services were delayed. Also, some bigwig in the Texas State ambulance union (or something similar) said that their study showed nearly 100% of all emergency departments were slowed by speed bumps/humps. There’s also some town in the Midwest that held the record for most speed bumps but they are now removing all of them partly because of delays in emergency services.

My neighbor cop is a gear head with a highly modified later model Camaro. He is not subtle at all and his car has a loud exhaust so he dgaf. Sad cause there are small children that live at almost every other house on the street. He took off so fast the other day I was surprised he did not lose traction and go in someones yard.
