Maryland Cops Suck

Meanwhile, while this cop was patrolling the highway ticketing a driver for driving 2 mph under the posted speed limit, real criminals were stealing and robbing people who had no police presence available. Some real good police work there. It is good to see that this cop and his police department have their priorities straight.



Wow! He neglected a Priority One call to pull her over. I missed that. Terrible.
Most places, it is illegal to pass on the right, because it is considered much more dangerous to have someone passing you on your blind side. I sure am glad drmilled is on this woman's side, because I would hate to agree with anything he says for the first time in my life. With his stone-age social and political beliefs, I'm sure the doctor must be at least 200 years old and thinks 63 mph is way too fast for anyone to be driving.
jokermgb- Here in Texas the drivers would rather "get on down the road" than make a big deal of getting behind someone driving 2 mph below the speed limit and being upset with their speed. We just "go around" and continue on to our destination.The "blind side" as you point out is only blind to those who don't know how to move their eyes and head and look before changing lanes. By the way, my "stone-age social and political beliefs" are what built this nation into the great nation it was. Today's "new-age" liberal socialism is what is destroying what our forefathers built. Of course you would know nothing about what it took and takes to build the greatest nation of the last 200 years- being "wet behind the ears" (as you obviously are) will only get you a bottle of milk and your diapers changed as you "wail on" about things you know nothing about.
Well here in the USA we applaud officers who look at a situation and act according.
We also take care of our elderly...didn't realize it was senility that got the dr.

North of Baltimore there are quite a few miles of I95 with just 3 lanes, so if the lady was in the far left lane and not passing anyone she should probably have gotten a warning. I have been on that stretch of road quite a bit lately and the state police are certainly out in force in unmarked suv's pulling over a lot of vehicles including 16 wheelers for whatever reasons.
It was in Laurel, 5 lanes. In Maryland it is illegal to drive in the left lane slower than the posted limit.
I bet that cars were passing her on the right that were doing the posted 65 MPH,
and then cutting over in front of her, ............. therefore she was a possible accident waiting to happen.

Yep. The officer did the right thing.
Talk sense to a fool and they call you foolish.
Stay out of the fast lane if you want to go slower than the speed limit. The cop was only doing his job.

There are two ways you can learn in this Life, the easy and the hard way. Some people must learn everything the hard way.
