Honest question for a cop?

Question

ive always wanted to ask this.......say your gettin off a long shift and your tired and just wanna get the h**l home like every other joe. does it irritate you when you see an entire lane of people start going slower because they see you in your cruiser? i always thought that would irritate the living h**l outta me.

Answer 1

Honestly OH YES SIR. Be it getting off of work or heading to a call or trying to get somewhere to use the facilities people will naturally slow down when they see a cop. So many times I say to myself "Get the H^$& out of my way" im not after you Im trying to get somewhere. The best advice is to change lanes and let the squad pass. If he wants you then he will change lanes too.

Answer 2

You know anthony, that was a d**n good question. Yes, even though we are cops. We are just human too. Some days are worse than others this is way when people give us lip on the side of the road and we're having one of thoes days a citation is quicker to be given. Sorry but that's just how it is, so always be polite to the officer.

Answer 3

What is even more frustrating is when you have lights and siren on and they won't get out of the way. You can see the panic, they slow down, stare in the rearview mirror and almost stop in the lane when they have plenty of room to move.  

Answer 4

It annoys me when you see them going over the 30mph speed limit when they are clearly not attending an emergency  

Answer 5

No, because it means that they are making a conscious effort to drive legally.  It's a shame that it takes the presence of a police car to get them to obey the traffic laws.
