Question for current or retired police officers...

[Richard Cranium]

I would never pull anyone going just 7 miles over the speed limit over. The second car seems to be more aggressive by driving on the first cars tail, and racing to get to him. So the likely one would be the second car, because he/she seems to be the more dangerous.

You're a bad liar. The first thing you would do is gun em, to see if it's worth your time. Second, you'd get behind the second car and follow him through past the first. There should be a time when the two cars are side-by-side, and you can compare plates on both vehicles. Whoever has out-of-state plates wins your company for the next 20 minutes and gets to make a donation to the county coffers. If both cars have MD plates, you pull over the one that indicates that you'd be able to "smell an odor of burnt marijuana".

Some of you pigs need to get a to keep you in line.

Go away, dick head, just go away.

Would you have pulled me over for "speeding" in an area with a debatable speed limit?

You mean the cop would pull over driver # 1 but only if the driver of car #2 and the cop were both black. If driver # 1 was black and the driver of #2 and the cop were both white, then he'd pull over #1, right? If they were all black, then they'd high-five while driving and say screw the white man. If they're all white, then they obviously aren't doing anything wrong.

If x = y then how much is z?

Well.. X2 + y2= z2...
Well that is if you are not square and like the number 3.

I like that answer.

Well, we know you wouldn't do that. You said you saw some police beating a poor defensless little girl and you are too much a coward to help her, you would never challenge a police officer who could see your face!

I don't really do traffic enforcement in my current job. However, when I did the traffic stuff, I did what was reasonable. If it's three o'clock in the morning and a Navy guy is leaving the base going home after his shift, why pull him over, or if he is pulled over, give him a ticket for going 55 in a 40 when there is NO other traffic around? It doesn't seem reasonable to me, so I wouldn't have done it.

So I guess my answer is no. I may pull you over, because traffic stops often lead to other things, but I doubt if I would have given you a ticket in a place where I might speed myself.

Andy we aren't talking about Radio Station Rd again are we?

Be glad you work for the BOE of CC and not PG and have to contend with the Marlboro Town Cops and all their hiding places to run radar everyday.

Personally, I may speed up a few mph to see what the other guy does, but if he stays tight I'd say screw him. If I slam on my brakes he will probably hit me and it will be his fault... and he will pay more than monetarily, guaranteed.

It would be your fault, you caused the accident, but you should test this theory with a big truck.

What the he!! is a "debatable" speed limit? I didn't realize they were open to negotiation.

Pull over the one driven by the muslim animal and give em a wood shampoo.

I think one could debate a speed limit depending on the time of day, flow of traffic, or other factors. We can write tickets for going the "speed limit" in bad conditions, why shouldn't a citizen be able to explain why he/she might be speeding under the conditions they are speeding?

 

[oldnavy]

I'm going to keep this one in mind. Forming my statement now.
"Well officer, the way I see it...the speed limit is 55 and that holds even with the heaviest of traffic. Now, since it's 2:00 a.m. and there is NOBODY on the road, I figure since I have the road all to myself, I should be able to do at least 110"!

In my perfect world this would be true. :sigh: I loathe slow drivers.

I don't think so. Pretty sure, the rear ender always gets charged.

I agree with this. I don't have a problem with someone doing 80 on 301 if there is nobody on the road.

What I meant by debateable speed limit is in the particular area, to a complete stranger, that speed limit would be unknown. There is no speed limit sign between the board of Ed and the 40 MPH. On the other side of the road, the 40 MPH Speed limit would hold up until The CCPS Maintence far entrance. You're allowed a legal assumption of 35 mph if the speed limit is unknown, I'm not sure if that's still the case but it was when I took Driver's Ed.

These school zones are set up to protect children, not to be used a police traps three feet from where most people at the Board of Education central office believe the Speed Limit is different. As far away from the school as I was and the time of day it was - no student was in danger.

 

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

I don't think so. Pretty sure, the rear ender always gets charged.

If you slam your brakes, an Insurance company would find you at fault. There's no legal justification for a "brake check" when someone is right behind you. In fact, slamming the brakes shows intent.

Ya know, I've tried in other posts to stick up for you with "R.C.", but man!!!!

If the speed limit is debatable, why the he!! does the state pay to post signs with the words "Speed Limit" and then put a number. Why not put a sign up that says "Go as fast as you feel you can justify"?
