Many friends of mine are cops and NJ State Troopers (so i see first hand the way they drive )if my cousen (whose a trooper) gets stopped by a local he greets the cop with good evening officer Trooper so and so NJ State Police can i help you with something(showing him his badge ) .The cops like sorry to pull you over Trooper.Thats the end of it no matter if hes stopped for doing 125 in a 50 whatever.It drives me nuts but i guess every job has perks.
Uh, guys,
I revived this thread to see if anyone had any news on the cause of this tragedy. Fifteen posts later - nothing.
There's some posts to comment sections of the OC register from a family member... + article below

I would first like to say to Lou nice post and to all those with condolences for the family we thank you....Yes I said we. No one in life is perfect and no one but the Lord above will ever know 100% of what happened that day, so many of you are out her bashing Terry our loved one. Let point out to you yes he was an officer of the law, but he was a man, a son, a brother, a father, a husband, a nephew, a grandson and a cousin. And he was loved by all of his family, as was Dave and there are dozens of us hurting and you have no clue as to how it hurts his family, me us when you post these things about him. No matter what happened we are burying two totally awesome men and our lives have been forever changed, please try to remember that before you decide to jump the gun or pass judgment especially when only the Lord above has all the facts.
R.I.P Terry and Dave you will be missed our lives are richer for having you two apart of them.
Love Tammy

In the days after an Orange County Sheriff’s Department deputy was killed in a Huntington Beach car accident, colleagues remembered him as a “stand-up guy” who brought a cheerful attitude to work and devoted himself to the department’s youth program.
Terry Stepp, 44, of Wildomar died Saturday evening at UC Irvine Medical Center shortly after a one-car accident near Goldenwest Street and Pecan Avenue. His father-in-law, Huntington Beach resident David Kerr, was a passenger in the car and died at the scene.
A 20-year veteran of the sheriff’s department, Stepp started as a police officer in San Clemente before the city’s department merged with the county. Two weeks before his death, he was transferred to a beat at John Wayne Airport, sheriff’s department spokesman Jim Amormino said.
Amormino described Stepp, whose wife works as a dispatcher for the department, as an upbeat man who worked closely with the Explorer youth program.
“He was an all-around good guy,” Amormino said. “It’s really a tragedy.”
According to fellow spokesman John McDonald, Stepp received the department’s Medal of Courage in 2006 after he helped to remove hundreds of pounds of explosives from a tractor trailer in Anaheim.
“It’s a big loss,” McDonald said. “He had a lot of friends here.”
Stepp’s funeral is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. today at Calvary Chapel Pacific Coast, 6400 Westminster Blvd., Westminster.

Really glad to see that this was the same thread from a few months ago and not another fatality. Still, RIP to the occupants.

Hey Kala,
I just thought there might be further info (other than only the lord knows) on the cause, based on this:
"The accident is still under investigation by Investigator Dennis Fulton." - March 21, 2010
- but maybe not.

Dave6666- thanks for being the vocal rep for the shallow end of the gene pool. I just looked and, sure enough, your picture is next to the definition of HUA in the dictionary.
Seriously, you guys that attack these individuals that died tragically just because they are cops are DCHBGS. I'd spell that last word out but I think you get the idea.
Lets have a heart, let these guys rest in peace, and close this thread.
God Bless 'em.

I agree if they were driving at a high rate of speed,they shouldn't have been doing that. My problem with statements like yours is you jump to your own conclusions without really knowing any facts and another problem..these folks are dead...and they have families. Just go ahead and get the last word. I will let this go if only out of respect for these men's families. I am sorry if you have never been guilty of anything 'stupid' . You are a special human being .Funny thing is i do agree with a lot of what you have said.Just think a little compassion for your fellow man would be in order. I have not one more thing to say on this and God bless you brother.
Well put. Some of these self righteous posters on this forum apparently never do anything illegal or "stupid" when they drive. Let's leave the poor dead guys alone. If you dont have anything good to say...don't say anything. My two cents.

You just made King of all Morons. I CLEARLY state that I drive stupidly in my post if you had the simple skill of being able to read.

Yeah,that sounds like a sucky place to be a driver! I have had a few run-ins with police,but all in all they have usually been fair to me .That's just my experience with law enforcement. I wouldn't want to live in a place where they didn't respect their own laws though.
