Cop Pulls Over Top-Ranking Officer for Speeding

[@kellyedes6318]

This cop did the right thing in issuing the ticket. He was going way too fast, and there was no emergency he was going to. Officers holding the fellow officers accountable for their actions have a thumbs up from me.

How does he have integrity when he is going 60 mph over the speed limit, 96 in a 35? Thats a residential zone speed. 100 on the highway fine but 100 in residential areas is insanely stupid.

Massive props both, but especially to the Cheif deputy for calmly accepting the ticket and reporting it to his sheriff instead of trying to use his position to weasel out of the ticket like so many others I've seen or threaten the lower ranking cop. That's a reasonable, grounded officer right there. 👍

[@meatbleed]

he was nearing 100 in a 35. If it were us we'd (rightly) lose our right to drive at best lol

Nope, they got rid of the ticket after the fact. "Channel 2 Action News obtained body camera footage of the traffic stop and a citation report that shows only a warning issued to Chief Deputy Michael Yarbrough." It's easy to pretend to be calm and accept responsibility when you know you don't ever ACTUALLY have to accept responsibility. His "punishment" was a three day vacation.

The fact that the officer felt the need to call in and ask if he should ticket another officer for breaking the law AND that the simple fact of not personally liking the guy was the deciding factor for whether or not he was ticketed speaks volumes about the problems with our police.

its called discretion. in the US you have to use discretion to write tickets or not.

I’m 22 years old but I’m a new driver (from Florida). I do my best to follow the road laws and I get really anxious/ annoyed when others on the road don’t do the same. The amount of times I’ve seen officers do the absolute dumbest things out of impatience and ego is astounding to me. The other day I saw an officer put on his siren to pass the red light and proceeded at normal speed because he just didn’t want to wait in traffic. Last week I saw two cops bypass traffic on a one lane road so they didn’t have to wait. It was ridiculous

[@jessicacortez4301]

Just be careful when getting upset with them for running lights to get through red lights but then turning them off. I don't believe they always go to calls with lights and sirens they could still have needed to get to a call fast but didn't need to run them the whole way there. I'm not positive about that but I don't think it's always just to get through a light for no reason.

I can't say I like hearing the officer say that the reason he was going to write the ticket was because he didn't like the guy. If that was a joke, it was in the wrong place and in poor taste. If that was the truth, well I don't have to spell out why that is bad. It should simply be a matter of "did he break the law?" & "was it bad enough to warrant a fine?" Going nearly 3x the speed limit... why is he even questioning it? Cop car without their lights on is subject to the same traffic laws as every other regular car. (Personally I'm actually questioning how that is simply a violation there in Georgia.)
