I Have Asked This Before......But.....
I am driving through Rockland this am and I am rounding this curve and a Police cruiser comes flying around the corner coming towards me doing about 100 miles an hour....no exaggeration, with only his lights flashing!!!! No siren!!!! People were scurrying to get out of his way because they never knew he was coming!!!! Now I am getting sick and tired of seeing this as its DAMN dangerous!!!! What is POLICY in towns when the cruisers are traveling at a high rate of speed to get to a call?!?!?!?! I mean, someone might get killed because of a stupid act like this!!!!
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Like anything else they won't do a thing untill someone gets badly hurt or killed and thats only after the lawsuits that follows.

Lack of training/common sense. I can tell you 99% of the calls don't even demand traveling at greater than the posted speed, let alone turning on blue lights and siren. No sense in killing yourself or someon else going to a false alarm, and they are all false.
