It would be hard to beat this British cop. 90 MPH in a 30 mile zone? link 159 mph? That's where we draw the line.. Thu Feb 2, 10:46 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - A British traffic officer caught driving at 159 mph but cleared by a court of speeding and dangerous driving faces a legal move at the High Court in London Wednesday to convict him. ADVERTISEMENT Yes No Yes No Yes No The Attorney General will appeal against the acquittal of constable Mark Milton and seek a High Court order that the advanced police driver should be convicted over his high speed blast in the early hours of December 5, 2003. Milton, a qualified advanced driver, was recorded by an onboard camera in his upgraded unmarked Vauxhall Vectra police car traveling at 91 mph in a 30 mph zone and hitting 159 mph on the M54 motorway. The legal limit in Britain is 70 mph. Milton's defense, accepted by the local judge in May 2005, was that he had taken the car on a test run around Telford, Shropshire, where he was based. The judge said the prosecution had failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he had driven dangerously and that the car was being "used for police purposes" when the incident occurred. The ruling prompted outrage in the media and condemnation from motoring groups. Wednesday, lawyers for the Attorney General will argue the district judge erred in law when he made his judgment.
F* that sh* 'cuz I ain't the one [?] a st*p*d *ss n*gg* when I'm playin' with the trigga' of an UZI, or an A-K... but the po-leez always got som'n st*p*d to say... WOA. I used to sing that in MIDDLE SCHOOL without knowing what it said. Good times.
It's amazing to me how readily everyone here and everywhere else just accepts that it's ok for the police to regularly break the very laws the public is given tickets for. Just a hiccup of discontent would be ok
Okay trivia then... Who recorded a song entitled "FTP" which stood for the same thing? Hint: "Letters to words, words to phrases, to paragraphs" -from their main hit song.
Yea, agreed. I once saw a cop break a red light for no apparent reason. As he was crossing the street, I honked at him and flashed my lights at him. He just honked back.
My overall satisfaction with the police isn't good. Authorities who abuse their power make me respect the law they uphold a little bit less. For instance, when a cop goes by me doing 85, I feel it is my right to go 85 as well. I'm definitely jaded when it comes to cops.
same here. infact, when a cop goes by me i have the strange urge to ram their car and then drive off. hell, as long as i enter the cheat to take off the police alerts, i'll be fine.
