Has anyone else ever gotten pulled into the Sgt's office to respond to a complaint from an OFF-DUTY officer (read SGT.) from another agency, COMPLAINING that you (who happen to be riding a marked police motorcycle) are tying up commute traffic by telling other motorists that the speed limit is 55mph in a 55mph zone?
I had a discussion with my supervisor this morning for just that reason. I can't believe that an officer from another agency had the audacity to call my supervisor, and COMPLAIN that I was tying up traffic by "riding 55mph" and hand gesturing to other motorists that the speed limit is 55 in that zone.
I guess the next complaint will be that I'm riding over the posted speed limit (speeding) so that officer doesn't have to worry about it ....
By the way ... if that officer/Sgt. is reading this, feel free to contact me next time instead of my supervisor ... your complaint is both inaccurate and makes you look bad. You know where I work and how to find me. If you continue to have a problem with me enforcing or educating the public on traffic laws and violations, leave earlier and you won't have to see me on the freeway.
