Nothing get's me more PO'd than seeing a PO doing something he obviously shouldn't do. The big thing around me is cell phones. Yes, there is a law that allows you to use a cell phone while driving in an emergency. When I see a Trooper laughing away talking away on his cell while driving it just makes me see red. Especially if it's someone I worked with. So I call the station Sgt and let him know what's going on. Any of you can do that too. You don't have to give your name or anything, just let him know his guys are making fools of themselves. It usually has the desired effect, at least in my old agency.
As far as the speeding thing goes, here's how it works- You get told to be at such and such a place at a certain time. That place is 2.5 hrs away at 55. They give you an hour to get there, no OT allowed. What do you do? Or someone calls in a complaint. It's 35 miles to his house, he expects you there in 10 seconds. If you run lights and siren and it's not a real emergency, you're wrong. If the guy thinks you took too long and complains to a supervisor, you're wrong. Or look at it another way, I used to set the cruise at 55. People would be irate because I was holding them up, they were used to driving 66-67 mph. You're darned if you do and darned if you don't.
