While i appreciate the BPS there are some officers that abuse their position. I was travelling along Kindley Field stretch back on April. I was driving just over the speed limit (which we all do) which a police vehicle behind me. He overtook me with a significant amount of speed and continued that speed the rest of the way heading towards the South Side Police department. I thought he may have received an emergency call (no lights flashing or sirens) only to pass the police station to see him parking the car and proceed to walk inside the department. HMMMM
Maybe he had to do #2
Or a #3…
Shakinmyhead I had the same thing happen to me. Two police bikes I never heard or saw, came screaming past me on Kindley field road so fast they shook my car. Drive by police station in St Davids and there they are standing next to bikes have a good old laugh.
If accidents involving police vehicles continue at this frequency at what point will they run out??? I appreciate they spend more time on the road than most other vehicles, but dang they seem to have some real bad luck!
Speed cameras on Kindley Field Road would nail EVERONE speeding!
Everyone’s very quick to condemn the Police when they’re seen to be doing something wrong: I just wish they were as quick to praise the Police when they’re seen to be doing something right!
As to this particular incident, I think we should wait until we KNOW the circumstances before passing judgement.
They seem to have pretty bad accidents about twice a week. What’s going on?
I would like to read reports of uniform police officers on foot patrol in our various communities , this will have those engaging in crime thinking twice and secondly give a sense of peace to those at home alone.
Police persons are human too ! So breaking the law is not unusual.
Two of the worst drivers on the road anyway..
