Except it matches my GPS speed, so I'm more inclined to think it's closer to actual. Unless Boeing calibrates their airplanes to read 50 MPH lower...

What can i tell you state political boudaries are the MAKEUP of THIS COUNTRY of which NJ has the highest population density and add to that IS ONE OF THE richest with towns like ALPINE (top dollar real estate zip code in the US )Upper Saddle River ,Mantaloken ,Deal,Rumson, Colts Neck).What should they all have is NOT REAL .You act like NJ is the only place in the country whos POLICE BEND THE RULES? LOL i guess you have NEVER been to NY NY (which for ALL intensive purposes is the center of this countrys universe.)
Chuck whats your take on this topic?In Florida do the police bend the rules to do their jobs ect .Is favoritism shown to those who can afford it .The correct phrase is "for all intents and purposes." At least outside of the center of the universe anyway.
REALISTICALLY it appears the above happens in EVERY STATE (police,on or off duty driving interpt the law THEIR OWN WAY )except GR-8s home state only there is everything done by the book and the wealthy are on the same playing field as everyone else-(NO SPECIAL PRIV,FAVORS ECT )Those that are charged with maintaining and enforcing our laws most of the time don't even abide by them. They seem to think they are above the law. They are given a huge responsibility and authority over the citizen and because of that, should be held to a much higher standard. I know most in my area completely disregard them(watched them too many time flying by me, no lights and no reason to do so). When they are on a call, they have to do what is necessary, albeit in a safe manner.
In Arizona, the state puts up speed cameras, does not discriminate between the average citizen or Police. Plenty of the cops have been caught on camera and not been on a call. Why? because they know in the end, they will NOT be held accountable.
That is not our responsibility as the average driver. We are not being paid by the Government to do the job of enforcement. You see, there is this thing call the Bill of Rights that allows us not to incriminate ourselves regardless of what "crime" we are accused of. That being said, I do agree if you screw up and hurt somebody, you should take the resposibilty, but even in Chuck's example, the cop sure didn't. And we put out trust in people like him?!
Years ago my business landlord(WHO IS A REBEL ROUSER ) was traveling the speedlimit in the leftbound lane of RT 34 (medium sized highway up here.)A State trooper car pulls up behind him ,lights off. My landlord yields to him ,lets him pass and follows behind him matching the Troopers speed in the 80s (50 mph zone ).The Trooper after a few miles pulls him over and asks what he is doing going that fast ect .Landlord replies what do you mean- iwas going as fast as you .Every ticket known to State traffic law followed including impeding emergency vehicle ect .I ran it by my cousen who said my landlord was going to get HAMMERED IN COURT (LIGHTS OR NO LIGHTS ,OFF OR ON DUTY A Trooper basically drives with impunity up here )The landlord has his day in court and the JUDGE DID HAMMER HIM .Good ,bad or indifferent you cant fight city hall.
The above is why iam curious to know when an OFF DUTY officer is stopped for a MOVING VIOLATION in these NON CORRUPTED STATES are they issued tickets by their fellow officers.IN A true textbook FANTASY LAND APPLICATION sure they are LOL.Talk about me ranting.............
I'll just address this statement above, The If the cop was using his lights/siren, the accident most likely would not have happen. If the cop was doing the speed limit, the accident would not have happened due to the fact he would have been WAY farther back(position wise) and would have had ample time to adjust/react to the lane change. Ultimately if fault was to be blamed, it lies squarely on the officer and justice was not served.............
Let me get this straight i have convinced you to stay out of NJ yet you admit your cops do the same thing .What i said was my or your personal opinion on the subject does not matter because IT STILL IS GOING TO HAPPEN EITHER WAY.You actually call it in when you see a cop speeding reminds me of my business landlord and we know what happened to him.
Your words!
More of the same.
The third and final example of your stating it is normal for NJ cops to use illegal search tactics and lie about it. This is NOT SPEEDING!
It is nearly impossible to do anything anonymously. Telephone numbers are shown immediately when you call the police. I am not afraid of retribution by the police. The vast majority are good police. The bad apples need culling. At least in this area.
Thats your business once again out here esp for owners of HI PERF AUTOMOBILES its much much better to stay on their good side .We operate on a point system (13 POINTS YOU LOSE YOUR LICENSE )and because of our population concentration have some of the toughest ,most costly traffic laws in the country (DWI for example=mandatory 7 months loss of license first offense .Fines ,surcharges attorney fees in the 10k range )In looking for a plea bargin the very first question a lawyer will ask his client =DID YOU GIVE THE COP A HARD TIME.The police have a say if and when a plea bargin is cut.If tyhe cop tells the proscuter the defendent gave them a hard time ect .
you 2 play nice now or im gonna have to lock this thread.....
