A Casualty of Revenue Collecting

They say “speed kills.” Here is a case-in-point.

A cop driving at very high speed struck and killed a motorcycle rider who had the bad luck to be in the wrong place at the wrong time – that place and time being in the path of the cop’s speeding car. The cop was driving so fast he’d outrun his sight lines; as he crested a gentle rise the bike was suddenly in his path. He never knew what hit him.

Literally.

Ironically – tragically – the cop was speeding to catch up with a speeder; that is to say, a driver who was going faster than the sign by the road says one may. No one knows how fast he was going. We only know how fast the cop was going – and what the result of that was.

  1. STATE POLICE are just an extension of the IRS

    Our forefathers fought a revolutionary war over NON CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS

    State Police need to slow the F..k down

    Or disban them

    1. I’ve driven across the vienna bridge hundreds of times before cameras where installed and I’m still alive to tell. And by the way, most cameras are just for surveillance, not speed recorders.

  2. Obviously, you don’t know how a speed camera works. It’s normally:

    1. Detect speeder
    2. Print and mail ticket
    3. Start over.

    Did you know that license plate readers will capture your plate coming into OC up to 75MPH?

  3. 12:08 again, most cameras are not speed cameras. Speed cameras do not print and mail tickets. I’ve gotten speed camera tickets from Maryland cameras and they are mailed from New Jersey
