Um...excuse me sir....over here. Every state has this LAW on the books. Each state list it under their own General Statute(number)... For North Carolina... (N.C. G.S. 20-145) WHEN SPEED LIMIT NOT APPLICABLE The speed limitations set forth in this article shall not apply to vehicles when operated with due regard for safety under the direction of the police in the chase or apprehension of violators of the law or of persons charged with or suspected of any such violation, nor to fire department or fire patrol vehicles when traveling in response to a fire alarm, nor to public or private ambulances and rescue squad emergency service vehicles when traveling in emergencies, nor to vehicles operated by county fire marshals and civil preparedness coordinators when traveling in the performances of their duties. This exemption shall not, however, protect the driver of any such vehicle from the consequence of a reckless disregard of the safety of others. (1937, c. 407, s. 107; 1947, c. 987; 1971, c. 5; 1977, c. 52, s. 3; 1985, c. 454, s. 5.) Google AZ motor vehicle law and look under "speed exemption" or something in reference to that and you shall find what you don't want to exist. ______________________________________________ "A radical man is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt

I have been hit with both pepper spray and the taser. Required to carry them. The taser is much more humane IMO. I would rather be tased 100 times than be pepper sprayed once. ______________________________________________ "A radical man is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Ever hear of the Doppler Tone and Visual Estimation. Ever hear of the three must in verifying speed with a speed measuring instrument to prevent false readings. The RADAR does not utilize vibration to determine speed. The speed is MEASURED by calculating the time it takes for a WAVELENGTH to travel from the antenna to the target and back to the antenna. And by the way, a vibration from speaker will not register speed. The tuning fork doesn't calabrate by vibration. The prongs move rapidly at a MEASURED distance allowing the attennas frequency WAVELENGTHS (not vibrations) to be measured. You might want to read the US Constitution. It doesn't say shit about having a right to drive. A state ALLOWS you the PRIVILEGE (not right) to drive and you must follow their rules, (ie; speeding, seatbelts, registration, lights in working order, driving sober...ect.) or you will not be allowed to keep the PRIVILEGE. And if your PRIVILEGE is taken from you and you get caught driving due to not following the states motor vehicle laws (rules) you get to go to jail. ______________________________________________ "A radical man is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Just to help you out a little, this coming from a cop. First, just because I issue a ticket or make an arrest doesn't mean I have an option of whether or not to testify in court. "IF" the D.A. wants an officer in court then the officer will be issued a subpoena. If an officer isn't in court it's because he/she wasn't issued subpoena, not because the officer, D.A. or judge is afraid the officer can't prove their case or whatever reason you may think. Second, in the United States of America the police are not allowed to "break" ANY laws on or off duty just like you. However, for the safety of the public, police while performing their duties of protecting you are allowed to do certain things that the "non-trained" general public can't. I am allowed to exceed the speed limit to catch a speeder within reason. There isn't a certain MPH over listed, just within reason. Does that mean I can do 100 mph on the interstate thats posted 65 MPH, light traffic, and the speeder is doing 75 MPH...yep it sure does and no its not "breaking the law". Can I do 65 MPH through a 15 MPH school zone to stop someone for doing 5 MPH over...no. As long as the officers are not ignoring the safty of the public it's legal not "allowed to break the law." I have testifed to my speeding in multiple high speed pursuits to prove the violators speed and it's never been questioned and it never will. Another example is it's illegal to point a gun at someone who isn't causing YOU a threat of injury or death, but I can point my gun at someone who is threatening you only, with injury or death. Wouldn't that piss you off if a cop was standing in front of you while some asshole had a knife to your neck and the cop didn't pull their weapon because it's against the law. I can go on all day with examples. If you would like the ability to be able to do certain things that the law ALLOWS (not break) only law enforcement to do then get trained and become officer, deputy, agent, ect. Have cops made bad decisions in the past with pursuits and such...yep. If they were accountable they were held accountable. If you're talking about some backwoods area where everyone is related including spouses, you MIGHT have a point, but on the majority it's not like that. If you got off on a few tickets congrats to you, but you didn't beat the cop you beat the court. For whatever reason the D.A. decided not to prosecute period...may have been the cop was testifying in something a little more serious that some little bullshit speeding ticket, you know something like a child abuse or rape case.

Well at least according to your definition. I prefer to use the dictionary. The New Webster's Dictionary: Racist (n)-someone who believes that their race is biologically superior to another. Bigot (n)-someone obstinately and intolerantly devoted to his/her own beliefs, creed, or party. Supremisist (n)-someone who believes in being surperior to all others in something. ______________________________________________ "A radical man is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Most departments including mine use a low grain(less gunpowder) hollow point. With that combination the chances of the bullet exiting the body is reduced to NEAR impossible. It wouldn't be good if a bullet exited a person and struck a bystander. Also the full metal jackets(hard shell) as you call it are known to ricochet inside the body off of bones and tear threw organs. ______________________________________________ "A radical man is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt

I don't suffer from arachnophobia, however, if you want to see a soft spoken and passive person like myself put an asswhoopin on someone with quickness, throw or put a FROG on me. I will spazz the fuck out. Ranidaphobia is my curse. Can't explain it.

(When driving past one of those yards that looks like a junk yard): "They got more shit than a little bit." (When seeing a unreasonable price tag or when someone has said something stupid): "That's/You must be...high as giraffe pussy." ( i know that was rude ladies...sorry) (What to tell someone who can't keep a secret): "You leak like a sift." (I use this one a work frequently): "I like your method. Do it wrong the first time and get it out of the way." (I use this at work to...stole it from the movie Thick As Thieves. When I'm asked "Where's your warrant at?") "Behind that preposition." And last: (Another I have used at work ONCE, but I took a disciplinary write up for it.
