A couple years ago I was turning right of my street. I stopped at the stop sign and adjusted my seatbelt, then was starting to make my turn when a cop flew by at 60 MPH (opposite lane, going left in front me, residential street). It scared the crap out of me and I stopped barely into my turn and my car shook as he past. I finished my turn and the by the time I had headed 1 block to the next intersection where I was turning left, he swung around, gunned it through the 2 blocks he had me passed initially and the extra block and was behind me before I had time to turn.
Even though there was a garage and shrubbery that would have kept him from even seeing the stop sign coming from that direction, the asshole made me pay
twice as much as the fine for running a stop sign by classifying the ticket as "disregard of a traffic device".
A lady on the corner who witnessed it said that either he or some other cop would fly past her house at that speed almost daily. Unfortunately she was too scared to even give me a written statement. I guess they will get away with it until they kill one of the neighborhood kids. I just hope if something tragic like that happens there will be a witness and they won't be afraid to come forward
Probably won't matter. I tried to explain to the traffic judge what happened and he laughed at me and ridiculed me. His cops are angels, you know.
