Don't know exactly what to do in your case. D if you do and D if you don't. Where I live there is an interstate running through town where the speed limit is 65 on a stretch that could support 20 mph more. We have motorcycle cops who sit in the middle and work radar, often shooting out into traffic to catch speeders. I have witnessed several near misses here. One time I almost bought a new Harley and a funeral. The guy shot out into my lane and I did everything necessary to miss him while riding my horn. Oh, I have air horns on my pickup, not those little ones with an air compressor, but real Mack dumptruck horns with an air tank. The officer gave up on his chase and almost laid his ride down in front of me before pulling off to the side as I drove by. Dirty looks were plentiful...

I doubt I would call in on your deal unless he does it often.

I did call the dispatch office one afternoon on the officers who were escorting a funeral procession that I was in. They were "clearing" intersections where there were red lights and not waiting long enough for the procession to get by before leaving. Caused a lot of near misses that day, and on top of that, they were "hot dogging" going around each other at high rates of speed. This was a long procession, and was going all the way across town. I called the dispatch and told them their officers were a little out of control and would appreciate someone passing that on before someone else is going to the cemetery that day. I have radios in my truck (I'm a firefighter) and in about two minutes I heard a supervisor come on the channel they were using and told them to "close it up". Not sure what that meant but things got better almost instantly.

I have to work with and around some of these guys and many are correct that the law applies differently sometimes. Drive right and don't be afraid to point things out.
