State Trooper Patroling 30mph over PSL

I could never understand why troopers routinely patrol at speeds for which they would issue citations to civilians as was the case here.

Yeah, and when cops are going to a bank robbery they should go the speed limit, right? How do you think they catch speeders? Let me give you a hint: by catching up to them.

@maffimuk

You obviously have taken the BLUE PILL. This officer was not speeding to a bank robbery or any other crime response. If you want to catch speeders WITHOUT breaking the very law that is enforced, stay on the side of the road...they'll come to you...no need to excessively speed to catch them. BTW, this gentleman was not performing traffic enforcement either, BTW.

By all means, though, continue drinking your Kool-Aid and believing what you want to believe.

cops that give out speeding tickets all day are nothing but highway robbers. f- ING PIGS.

You are passing on the right and holding a camera while driving. You are more dangerous than the State Trooper.

State Troopers are spread pretty thin, and they ride alone. So troopers routinely back each other up on traffic stops, man with a gun or other potentially dangerous calls. So when a trooper is whizzing by at 80 to 100 mph. He's usually backing up another trooper. He's not breaking the law, he's enforcing it.

@tksemipro He would be code 3 (Lights and Siren). If he is not Code 3, then obviously the call isn't serious enough to have his lights and siren enabled, thus it's not necessary to speed, either.

[tksemipro]

How do you know he wasn't responding to a call?

@MarkieBhoy17 They mostly enforce traffic laws but within that they are able to find drugs, wanted people and occasionally provide back up for other agencies. They do a lot more than people think.

@killyouno5 Very true!

[MarkieBhoy17]

what do state trooper do exactly

[TheEodtch]

Your lack of understanding is of no concern to anyone. Why don't you understand it then repost something of use.

[killyouno5]

Hey not starting an argument but just a heads up here, sometimes when a patrol officer is going to a call they do not put on their lights or sirens. Its so they can either have the upper hand on supprise or there are already units on the scene and they are just getting there to provide back up. You shouldnt always judge a book by its cover. In this case you dont really know what the officer was speeding for. It could have been him just speeding but proabably not. Not trying to start an argument

Yea im going to have to go with 43FIRERESCUE43. You could cause a major accident trying to film while driving. Most Emergency workers are trained drivers,Police have the responibility of keeping people safe anywhere, And i dont know if i would be bad talking the people that just might save your, mine, or anyone that reads this life someday ...
