5. This isn't just a MA issue.. It really is an issue everywhere...

How many times have you been in front or just behind a police car and they are speeding or cruise around you doing the speed limit and take off at least 10mph over the posted limit? It's not like they have an ER or someone they are chasing down, they are just driving on duty, lights and sirens off. I literally had one officer pull out from there station road onto a busy 4-lane highway without stopping at the stop sign and pulling into my lane. If I hadn't slammed on my brakes and moved over to the next lane (thank god at that time I was able to move over into the other lane because most of the time there are cars travelling next to one another 4 lanes abreast), I would have hit him. AND then guess who he would say was at fault from his error?
