We're the Only Ones Shielded Enough

An Orange County Register investigation has found that the program, designed 30 years ago to protect police from criminals, has been expanded to cover hundreds of thousands of public employees – from police dispatchers to museum guards – who face little threat from the public. Their spouses and children can get the plates, too.
So naturally, they're abusing the advantage by blowing red lights, not paying tolls, ignoring parking tickets...you know, stuff that would get a non "Only One's" license revoked and vehicle impounded.

Sure glad equal protection is alive and well in the Golden State.

We've talked about the expectation of "professional courtesy" before.

Big damn crybabies.

Knowing where tyrants live would endanger their lives. Of course, they might then have to stop abusing the individuals who are unfortunate enough to encounter them, but that would be "chaos", right?

On the "Big damn crybabies" website is the following statement:

I know of no police officers that have the attitude that they can intentionally disregard the traffic laws because they are immune from arrest.

Which I find laughable. I have NEVER met an officer who DIDN'T have that attitude.
