[QUOTE="soonersfan, post: 1646652, member: 9063"] Are you implying that police officer's should be held to a [B]lower[/B] standard and should not be required by fellow officers to abide by the same laws the rest of us are? That is not exactly the way to gain respect from the general public for your profession. This HiPo may have saved someone's life and you are upset by it. I think she had every right to be pissed and handled herself very well. I realize there is an unwritten code but you've got to be kidding me on this one. That police officer put his entire department at risk by driving that way (especially off duty) in a patrol car. Can you imagine the fallout if he had lost control, totalled the car and/or injured an innocent motorist? Frankly, I don't have an issue with one officer letting another slide on a ticket if they're going 15 or 20 over. It is a perk of the job. In this case, we are talking about a whole different scenario. It sounds to me like you are implying that the brotherhood should apply without any boundaries. I'm pretty sure that is what created the environment Serpico dealt with in the first place. I think that is a dangerous attitude. This guy got a slap on the wrist. I am sure his boss called the lady officer's boss. I hope he is dealt with internally though and learns his lesson. I wouldn't advocate the guy getting fired but this was a bonehead move. [/QUOTE]
