Well, having read this thread, the top and bottom of it seems to be; Bloke (who happens to work as a copper) gets a high-speed vehicle to play with; he plays, and RECORDS his jollies!! -[ed: naughty]!!!!
Now he may be highly-trained, able to cope with high speed driving etc etc, but the bloke isn't very bright, lets face it!!
He may be authorised for high-speed pursuit when necessary: BUT this wasn't!!! He messed up, shot himself in the foot and was stoopid enough to leave the completely incriminating evidence behind :(stoopid): For being that dim; he deserves to be sent to sit in the stoopid corner for a goodly time!!
A friend of mine died some years ago when a drunken idiot in mummy's shopping rocket spanged their car up the backside on the M1 at 100 + in the early hours, my mate was fired out of the back window. Speed kills peeps travelling in the same direction too!!
:(bigcry):

Gosh!
In America, if the chase would endanger the Officers - they call it off. However, in the UK, at 3am - on an empty motorway - how many people in here would actually stick to the speedlimit. And I want honest answers. I know some would, and I know some would not.
I have been "pulled over" by flashing blue lights at speeds well in excess of the speedlimit at 2am and 3am - they simply slow you down and you continue on your journey - I have never been physically stopped - just had the waggling finger.
It would be interesting to know what vehicle they were driving as I was under the impression that by law vehicles (cars) are limited to 155mph (if the engine can exceed it) maximum, and I think around 180mph for bikes. Also, I note with interest that he was actually caught by himslef ... what an odd situation to be in ;-)

You can see the picture, him looking in the mirror and saying, "Who do you think you are, Stirling Moss?, you're nicked", slapping cuffs on himself and dragging himself off to the cells. :wink: :shock: :? :lol: :D

Note, this thread is being watched very closely. A number of people (myself included before anyone accuses me of hypocracy) have expressed some very strong opinions, however for the moment at least this has been reasonably jovial and not accusatory.
Please try to keep it this way :)
