The biggest gripe I have with those who have the "right" to break laws in the line of duty is the petty and annoying way a minority chose to exercise it. Obvious abuses give others the idea, by example, that anything goes. Red zones that are so marked because a car parked in that area is a traffic hazard, are still hazardous even if that car is a police car, etc..
Here is a quote from a time before license plates:
"No man is so insignificant as that he can be sure his example can do no hurt. There is naturally such a submission of the understanding, as many do in truth think that lawful to be done which they see another do, of whose judgment and integrity they have a great opinion..." Edward Hyde, first Earl of Clarendon
Funny where these threads go...
