The thing is, if a trooper hits you (it's very very rare) they're covered by insurance and you'll be paid for damages. This is not always the case with an uninsured reckless driver.

Fingers crossed that we'll get traffic enforcement cameras sooner rather than later.

This is what you get for demonizing police the last three years.

Yeah, I get the mailbox thing. But, I saw these papers on the ground next to homes that had the official Hartford Courant Blue boxes as well! I suppose you are right, perhaps someone just got lazy.

Speed never killed anyone. Its the sudden stop

There were multiple speeding cars with snow and ice on them on 91S in Windsor Locks Wednesday morning…cop grabs the completely snow free clapped out BMW mid-pack.

Sooo sometimes they get a BMW but as usual they do a pretty poor job lol

Disclaimer: I drive a white BMW but it’s the baby hauler 🤓

They are doing their jobs. I'm certainly no apologist for them, but they work long and odd hours and don't have an easy job.

Doesn’t make it OK. They should do their jobs at least. ACAB.

Just reporting what the police officer told me when he came to my house. It’s not their fault, it’s whatever’s going on right now that’s not allowing my town to get them.

How far is your node from your house? Should be a big white box on a telephone pole on a nearby main thoroughfare.

There are videos of pursuits almost weekly on local news. I mean clearly based on video evidence they are allowed to pursue.

NY plates or MA?

0-60 in 3 business days

Chases still happen, and the accountability bill has little impact other than cops can't use the ol' "I smell weed" as a pretext.

It’s ok my POS Cruze is behind ya

How many minutes to stop?

Plus no chase laws and the police accountability bill why do anything they don’t have to do? It doesn’t benefit them in any way

It’s the Acuras that are the real menace!

Hahaha well played

It’s out of control. Every time I’m on the road I see someone blowing a red or doing 20+ mph over. It’s constantly getting worse because there’s simply no law enforcement. What the hell can we do about this?

I've tried complaining to them. They completely ignore it. I sent them photos of dozens of wet soggy rotting papers in bags on the street, sidewalks, yards, in the woods, etc. They don't give a damn.

Ya my car got stolen and the cops saw the whole thing. They weren’t allowed to pursue. Instead they just came to my door and woke me up at 2:30 in the morning to let me know. It sucks.

I see troopers doing it just about everyday.
No lights/sirens Sometimes texting or using their laptops.

Rarely use their signal and drive extremely agressive.

So why shouldn't everyone else.
Rules for thee. Not for me.

Don’t bring my beloved civic into this. It takes at least 4 minutes to get it up to three digits.
