That is ONE possibility. I know for a fact that some Police get bored sitting and looking for speeders. They call in bets on dog tracks and etc. Then, when it comes time for shift change they speed and weave in and out of traffic......JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN. That is not to say all Police are bad drivers. I know of one retired officer (a nice guy) that made me tense up when I rode in his vehicle. He was passing a line of stopped cars in Nashville ON THE DIRT BERM when I had to warn him that we were about to HIT an obstacle. Then he proceeded to push back left into the line of cars. And we were in NO particular hurry. I thought about giving him a hint by wearing a helmet next time I was in his red sports car.
