- If you want to talk double standards, these folks can legally kill
- someone without a trial.

- I don't see why their speeding bothers you. Do you get upset because
- you don't have the root password to world.std.com? Having it would
- allow you to do things that you can't currently do. Being a cop allow
- you to do things that most motorists can't do.
-
- C'mon guys, being a cop ain't all that fun of a job. Writing tickets
- to massaholic drivers has gotta get dull after a while. When you're
- not handing out tickets to nice folks like us, you're dealing with
- people who could be drunk, high, violent, dismembered, or dead. It's
- not like they're running the info booth at Disneyland or piloting the
- Love Boat. So, when their alotted time comes to take a break, and
- they want to get to the donut shop quickly, just stay out of their
- way. What's the big deal?
