Ok that may be true, but if there wasn't an emergency, then the driver of the police car should not have been breaking the speed limit

Do you have proof that there wasn't an emergency? Did you speak to them?

Nailed it...it's ok though, they're taking their business elsewhere....

No rudeness, you've asked the question and it's been answered multiple times but you chose to ignore it.

I'll ask you a question though, why does your location say Suffolk but you appear to be posting from the USA?

Michigan seems a long way away from Suffolk county

OK, I have the footage, but there is too much personal information requested on the reports page, and I don't particularly want a target on my back from the police.
So unfortunately I think against my better judgement, I think I will can it.

but thanks for the information.

That's disappointing.

This guy is obviously a troll.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows about this.
I was driving the other day and a police patrol car shot passed me in the outside lane of a 3 lane carriage way, so a 70mph speed limit.

The Marked patrol car, had no lights flashing, and no siren on, and I was travelling at 70mph. So the car had to be traveling faster than the speed limit to go passed me.

I am guessing that they would have been travelling and 80 or 90mph judging by the way he disappeared into the distance.

I have dashcam footage, where my speed was recorded at 70mph. Do you think the police were breaking their own laws, and if so, do you think I should do anything about it?
regards
Chriissib

No you giant pansy

I must say I am surprised by some of the comments on here.

So you're just going to sit back and allow terrible injustices like this go unquestioned simply because you can't be bothered to type your name in a box?
Shame on you!

Ok that may be true, but if there wasn't an emergency, then the driver of the police car should not have been breaking the speed limit. I guess I will never know. But I can guarantee, if the footage I have, was from the inside of a police patrol car, and I had been the car overtaking, I think they would have pulled me over, for breaking the speed limit, and hence breaking the law.

That's because, if the footage, were, from the, inside of a, police patrol, car and, the car overtaking was, not a police, patrol, car then the car, overtaking would have, been breaking the law, because while (,as mention, several times, in, the, thread already) the police, are exempt from speed, limits civilian, vehicles are, not.

No, Don't report it. Move on with your live and spend the 10 minuets it would take you to report it doing something interesting.

Why do these low effort trolls always post stuff like this when they get exactly the kind of response they must have been expecting?

You mean somehwere that will validate your incorrect view on a subject?

You've been given the correct answer to a question. If you have evidence to the contrary, then provide it. Otherwise thank them and move on with life.
