I hate cops.
lol mass got distracted
monte just because of your situation doesnt mean all cops are dbags. In fact quite a few are on this site. Put yourself in their shoes man. They dont know who you are. You might not even realize your copping an attitude with them as most people who get pulled over do. Look at the other side before you classify. I know most people have problems with authority even if its subliminal.

Using lights is not required to exceed the speed limit when responding to calls. It is required when driving contrary to traffic control lights / signs (stop signs, etc.).
I shvt you not: On the highway, it's often better not to have the lights on. Have you seen how people react to a cruiser w/ lights on behind them? They don't pull to the right and stop as required by law. They do everything but that. Slow. Pull to the left. STOP. Drive 10 below the limit in that lane for a solid mile or two. But when cruisers fly up behind them w/ the lights off, for whatever reason, they move a lot faster. I think it has to do with "I better get out of his way before he pulls me over" vs. "I think he's stopping me, so I better be on my best behavior while we pull off the road."
Or they're in a rush to get donuts. Either way: I don't blame them.

Oh yeah, or they're about to get off their shift!
Speed limit was added to "save gas" not for 100% intended for safety.

There is a sign in the parking structure saying that the school is not responsible for and theif or break ins. They are wasting are tax dollars. all they do is walk around giving out tickets. I don't want to pay for their stupid donuts!!!
Back when we had no speed limit law... the crashes were more severe because of people didnt have the safety equipment in their vehicles but.... there was less crashing.

I've driven in Germany plenty of times and every single time I've felt a lot safer than over here...and I was doing roughly 130mph average. Good thing no officer tried to save me from myself.
I have no issue with speed limits and you should be fined if you go over them but don't sell me kool-aid that it's for my safety
