Agent complained that speeding incident involving Iowa governor was safety risk
APNewsBreak: Agent complained that speeding incident involving Iowa governor was safety risk - The Washington Post
I think this has come up in other states when the troopers are the drivers. Silly issue as far as I am concerned. Care to guess how many days I went 80+ on the DC beltway when I lived in that area? Answer is everyday I was on the DC beltway because everybody does it. Going fast on a highway is just how the world works now--true in DC, true in Iowa, true everywhere.
1) Still illegal, as evidenced by attracting attention to begin with,
2) Many people do, in fact, get cited for this, just not everybody,
3) The fact that he was weaving in and out of traffic suggests that he was not merely going with the flow of traffic.
Defense denied.
A bunch of nothing. The number of cars going 90 are in the hundreds of thousands at any time.
Americans have become a bunch of whiny pansies lamenting and raging "dangerous! dangerous!" at anything.
The driver was a state trooper. If state troopers can't safely drive 90 then all police departments should put 70 mph speed limiters in their car.
Plus the lying aspect of the article claiming 3 police cars were in pursuit of a car going 90. That isn't a pursuit at all.
The cop who decided to get his name in the press screwed up because he was using his state vehicle for private usage on a holiday - so he got popped. Idiot blinded by wanting to see his name in the press at all costs.
Talk about ****ting where you sleep. I foresee a very abrupt end in the career of Dudley Do-Right.

ETA: Governor's driver, technically, but still...
For this post to be anything less than hypocritical, you are saying that NOBODY... police or not... should ever be cited for speeding like this.
