Yeah, we can go about 80, after that you are asking for it. But as a police officer I could cruise at higher than that, depending on traffic of course.
wat? As a police officer you'll be expected to respect and uphold the law. I don't know how it works in America but in the UK the police aren't universally loved by all. And so if they are speeding with the lights off, someone will get the registration and report them. All police cars here are also fitted with GPS so the control centre can see who is where and doing what. I assume you have a similar level of technology. Don't for a second think you'll be "cruising around" exempt from the law.
Also, I think you are going to make a terrible police officer. That's twice now you have implied you wish to abuse your public position of authority. You may have well said you'll wave tickets for blowjobs, beat up suspects and accept bribes.
Police should be the last people to break the law.
Wow, Okay, Thork. First of all, I am pretty sure the only thing I plan on "abusing" is my ability to speed. Second, I don't plan on being highway patrol, so I won't be speeding in a cop car, I am talking about off duty. Third, Pretty much everyone speeds, I don't do it because I think I am a cop that's above the law, I do it because i would like travel in the fast lane without being shot to death for doing 65 mph.
Not to mention that Highway patrol travels faster than traffic with a legitimate reason, if they don't they will keep seeing the same car during their drive. So they cruise at 5-10 above the speed of traffic so that they can actually move through surrounding cars to see different vehicles.
I personally hate the local sheriffs that hot dog around town, running reds for no reason, driving without their lights on, cutting people off, and just in general being dicks.
I am just saying that when I cruise on the freeway at 85-90 (provided that I don't have to swerve to do it) on my way to work, or do a burn out on a deserted road that a cop happens to be watching, that I won't likely be cited for my offense. Nothing more, nothing less. I am not going to be racing people through traffic, demanding blow jobs in exchange for warnings, or shooting people for marijuana possession. I just plan on being like every other normal person and speeding in the fast lane, except when I get pulled over i will flash my badge and be on my way (unless the other cop is a stickler.)
