Not only that, but it's different fucking group of cops who deal with very separate offenses. Homicides aren't dealt with in the moment like traffic violations; they're solved later by god-damned detectives. People still defend Chris Brown for what he did to Rihanna, so there's really no hope that the stupid among us might develop a half a brain at any point. Best we can do is keep them addicted to Facebook so they're not out endangering others with their stupidity.

If you're talking about the "speed limit enforced by aircraft" signs, they don't do that anymore. But they do still have spy planes and choppers for tracking criminals. Well, hopefully they're using them only for criminals. They did just put up a bunch of license plate readers that will track everyone who goes by them.

Good. The Facebook posts defending this behavior are gross. Just because we have homicides doesn’t mean we shouldn’t enforce reckless driving laws. Mind boggling

>"After the first attempt to pull these individuals over with our lights and sirens, they refused. So we backed off. Turned the lights off and let the airplane do it at a safe distance."

That seems like a prudent response that still lead to an arrest.
