Cop Speeding - 92MPH in 55MPH zone, no lights/sirens

Update 8-14-11: So much for that attempt. All comments moderated.

UPDATE 8-14-11: Just so there is no confusion - effective immediately, anyone who cannot stay on topic - arguing the merits of this video - without making personal attacks will be blocked and their comment removed. Either side.

------------------
This video starts out with Pasco's finest not even attempting to slow down for the stop sign. He slides into the left lane, and is stopped by a car at the light.

1) Did not stop at sign (0:02)
2) Following too closely after light turns green (0:27)
3) Exceeds speed limit by 37 MPH (0:54)
4) Hard break, and lane change w/o signaling (1:17)

I'm happy to be able to call the police when/if I need them, but this kind of driving does nothing but give law enforcement a black eye. It gives the appearance of "I'm above-the-law" and I can do what I want. Just imagine if you were in your company vehicle doing 92 in a 55. What kind of impression does that leave with the public - let alone with the officer that pulls you over.

Interestingly enough, this is the same stretch of road where I was ticketed for 17 MPH over - three years ago. That video can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5se8n5XSuY

That video was used in court to prove I was only doing 13 over.

You have got to be kidding me, this isn't anywhere near 92 miles an hour, look at the poles, the lines, the other cars, everybody is moving at standard highway speeds.

@FireRescueCalls Just for grins, putting aside your doubt that this really is 92MPH (I can assure you, it is), does that change anything?

[masemurder816]

there are multiple reasons that he could have been traveling that fast without lights or sirens... sad that someone would go out of their way to make someone who protects them and their family look bad....

[erkme73]

@masemurder816 What is it that I did that "makes them look bad"? I think you came to that conclusion yourself. All I did was show the YouTube audience what we in Pasco see all the time... Now, if I paid the cop do do 92 in a 55, ok. But, what you're seeing is unaltered, pure truth. Sometimes that looks bad all by itself.

Thanks for posting this. I got stopped in the same manner ~20 years ago. I was on an interstate with no traffic when a cop blew by me. I paced him @90 in a 55 and got his plates, but he pulled me over and made some lame excuse about being in a hurry to see someone in the hospital. I went to court and told the story. Cop lied and said he paced me from behind. Guess who the judge believed. Fine, I was in the wrong, but so was he. Hopefully these videos will help to curb this behavior from LE.

[erkme73]

@onetrickdog And that is precisely why I paced him, recorded, and posted it to YouTube. Unfortunately, I given how many in the profession come to this guy's defense - and obviously see nothing wrong with the behavior - I have serious doubts.

[maximeDpetrov]

Technically, he could have pulled you over because you were also going 92 mph.

[Codizzle352]

@BuiltFordTough2011 Looks like 54... I agree though.

[UkrainianDragon1993]

Well that's what happens when you give cops Need For Speed cars. They're going to take em' for a ride.

[firecopshel]

You ever think about that.....he did not stop you cause he more than likely had a priority call.

[firecopshel]

Just because he is driving fast with no lights does not mean he did not have an emergency. You are making an assumption based on what you think you know. Police do respond without sirens at times as not to alert an active alarm....basically somebody in a house, they hear sirens they bolt. This is the problem with people who think they know what they are talking about....if he did not have an emergency and you pased him like you say you Did, he would have slammed you with a ticket.

[burnseason098]

@FireRescueCalls the main camera placed inside the car is zoomed in...which makes the actual speed of the vehicle appear slower than 92mph

[kuyababoy03]

he most likely had a back up call or code 1 call (no lights/siren,but asap) to the driveway or street that he was pulling up to at the end of the vid. and the sudden brakeing b4 that was probably because he was reading streets or addresses...

[juanplaza67]

YEAHH thanks buddy it's so truth that happen to me in 95 south from jacksonville to st. Augustine fla. and the Moron was even with me i was in the right lane matching his speed and he slam to follow me at that exit with out any precaution to avoid an accident. and guess who this moron was? the same idiot whom open a envelope inside the police st. with white powder "anthrax" and my ticket was dismiss it's time to identified this assholes and expose them..FREEDOM! infowars. com

[WartownRACING]

Its true though, this very well could be 90+, for example in some videos i record of myself going over 100, due to the surroundings and long highway it only appears that i am going MAYBE 75. So i can see that this very well could be that fast.

[jjorden1976]

You've got balls, I'll say that much. Cops do this all the time. Funny, clearly the guy is speeding, but some people still have doubt.

[Deere55]

If he was doing 92 then everyone else was doing at least 85. (but he wasn't obviously)
