Any of us do this and we get the book thrown at us.

I bet the lesson is learned and that is the most we can hope for.http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/07/09/speed_cops.ART_ART_07-09-09_A1_32EE07C.html?sid=101 (http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/07/09/speed_cops.ART_ART_07-09-09_A1_32EE07C.html?sid=101) Two cops get caught doing around 150 MPH and don't even get reckless ops.

I got caught doing about 30 over one time and the fine was $595! Almost 150mph and he's facing a "possible" $150 fine?
Title: Re: In Ohio even the cops are Squids Post by: fastwin on July 09, 2009, 07:10:32 AM I am just proud they got cited at all. I would figure that the officer involved would just blow it off and let them go with a good fussing. I think it's pretty stand up of the officer and department to treat them like everyone else. [thumbsup] [clap]
Title: Re: In Ohio even the cops are Squids Post by: NAKID on July 09, 2009, 07:13:07 AM Probably couldn't have just let it go. He didn't know they were officers at the time and probably called in that he was in pursuit of 2 motorcycles in excess of 100mph...
Title: Re: In Ohio even the cops are Squids Post by: ROBsS4R on July 09, 2009, 08:04:47 AM Sounds like its more serious than just a $150 ticket Judge David Branstool told Highsmith he could face a $150 fine and a license suspension of up to three years because the high speed constituted reckless driving, even though the patrol didn't charge either officer with reckless driving. |
