Police officer caught speeding 50 over

[froghammer]

The O.P.P. are the most ****ed up police service out there.

Sorry, but they've got nothing on the LAPD.

where's the headline?

"Officer Clocked at TWICE the limit!"

"Officer Clocked going 110kms OVER the limit"

"Officer Clocked at DOUBLE the speed limit"

where's his name?....where's his speed?....where's his driving record?....where's the video on him getting cuffed?

does the media just do this to Parvinder from Brampton?

Good questions. Why not have GTAM members ask the Durham Police Service by email http://www.drps.ca/internet_explorer/index.asp If enough of us ask they may get the message?

EDIT: or try www.opp.ca

The media goes into apoplexy / hysteria when these happen except when it's a cop....hmmmmm

I bet you if it was an unmarked opp car they wouldn't have stop it at all???

Actually the LAPD is a pretty good police department. Chief Bratton came in 5 - 6 years ago and worked very hard to clean up the department and its image. More than once I had to go to or through South Central, East LA, Compton etc. and never once had a problem. I lived in LA until last summer when I was transferred to South Carolina; I would go back in a heartbeat.

Impounding a police car? Why don't they just give it to another cop to use.

I'm not going to argue that point, as I believe what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If a garbage truck gets impounded for 'stunting' and the driver has to pay the impound fee, then so should a police car be.

But do they actually have to leave it at an impound lot and pay impound and towing fees??? Somehow I don't think that happens. They probably leaving it sitting at a police parking lot somewhere.

I mean it is freaking stupid if you ask me. A police car shouldn't be impounded, nor a garbage truck or a anything. They just do it to say they are being even across the board.... it helps pull the wool over the eyes of the general populous.

I'm afraid there will be eventually no person untouched by the new law. Cops, Judges, Ministers, teachers.... etc... etc...

It's wide coverage of so many things you can be charged for and being the officer's descretion along with being a huge money making stimulas will be hard to reverse unless we find a way to convince the courts that this law is indead violating our rights. There will be legit cases to prove that this law is needed and the odd wrongful accused thrown out is going to be a sacrifice some will have to make.... kinda like friendly fire killings in war...oops... my mistake I can't fix.... sorry to those it affected....and shrug it off.

The Police car belongs to US, the taxpayers.
It should be taken away, he should be disciplined (fired, just like any other employer would do) and the car put back into service.

The car does belong to the taxpayers, but it should be siezed like any other vehicle the way 172 is currently being used. Here's what should happen, there is a depreciation or charge out rate on any vehicle that is used like this, the Cop should be billed this "vehicle charge" for the 7 or 8 days that it is held in a compound with every other vehicle. The Cop should also be responsible for all damages or vandalism that happens to the vehicle while it is in the compound. If it's okay for our expensive personel property to be towed by magilla gorilla, kicked over on it's side by the Cop, then it's okay for the police vehicle to sit there the same as they'd do to us without a second thought.
The loss of DL and insurance hit is only part of this deal, the potential damage to your bike or vehicle is as bad or worse. Let them park a cruiser in an impound for a week and let the kids throw rocks at it over the fence and see how they like paying for it.
Glad to see this badly thought out and law is working out so well

I don't believe that it is commonly done with police cars either, but they aren't talking about it. In this case it may actually have been seized though as it was an officer from another force (ie. not OPP), and the banning happened immediately rather than "after an investigation."

There are no bad police officer's, just bad people posing as police officer's we call them pigs

[MR-Kyo]

lol..he probably forgot that he wasn't in his cruiser..

[pilothaz]

Such BS, i can't believe that they don't at least up hold to what they expect us to do.

While on our mission to get a burrito today, Yetti spotted a cop texting while driving. I wish he had a helmet cam.
