I'd already be in prison if I did this

Summary: Cop doing 100mph on a 40mph road, not responding to an emergency, his strobe lights not on, hits a left-turning car and kills two teens. Unlike what would happen to me if I merely did 100 on that road without hitting anyone, he is not currently behind bars.

The video is from the dash cam of another cop car coming from the same place.

i dont even think they can do 100 even in a emergency can they?

I think the law is that they're supposed to obey the speed limit and that they just get there quicker because everybody gets out of their way and they can run red lights (after slowing a lot)...and anything beyond that is subject to what a judge or jury thinks is reasonable, if it ever went to court.

Considering that there was no emergency, I don't think anyone would think even 60mph was reasonable.

:word: with no emergency and no lights they should be driving exactly like everyone else is required to.
