Where Does the Law Stop and Lawlessness Begin?

Why are cops the absolute WORST drivers out on the road? I don't get it. I was on the way home from work yesterday when I saw one of North Carolina's keepers-of-justice in a big damn hurry. Now, I cannot stand people who are too lazy to use a turn signal anyway.... (It's called a signal for a reason - I need to know what kind of crazy stunt you're going to pull BEFORE you do it.) BUT this guy was crazily switching lanes trying to get out ahead of the group he was stuck in.

Isn't this why the police cars are equipped with lights and sirens? I mean, I saw the lights attached to the top of his car.... was there a short to every single light on his car? Doubt it.

I think he's one of those asshats (thanks for the word Katherine!) who powertrips on his badge. You know, the tough guys who try to intimidate you the second they pull you over. All they've done is, say, pulled you over for speeding. But they're talking to you like you're a serial killer on the Most Wanted List.

So, not only was he a signal-less driver, he was also SPEEDING!!! He finally got out of the geriatric group of drivers we were in and he took off like Speed Racer!!

So, let me get this straight - the people who are designated to uphold laws are allowed to break the same laws?? How is this supposed to be fair?

From now on, I'm going to slap any kid who says that a cop is his/her hero. Hard.
