Hello,
Ive been reading alot of posts lately, especially in the "Ask a Cop" section, regarding traffic stops for speeding and the drivers that use radar detectors and jammers to prevent detection.
Im curious what other officers feel about this trend?
Personally, there is really only one fundamental question here: "Why do you feel speed limits don't apply to you?"
Ive been a cop now for 15 years and I have seen dozens and dozens of kids driving irresponsibly with everything from simple radar detectors to cars equipped with (supposed) jamming equipment, anti-radar paint, etc. They seem to have one common mentality among them: "Its okay for me to speed, Im special."
I guess this really frustrates me because Im tired of pulling kids out of burning cars. Im tired of working accidents because someone thought they were a better driver than they really were. Im tired of writing tickets to kids for speeding 25+ over the speed limit.
Regards,
C
