From: Brent on 18 May 2010 12:40 I make a right hand turn and someone leaving a gas station sees me so he does not stop at the end of the drive way but pulls right out at low speed in front of me. I am traveling at the posted limit and am immediately up on him because he has of course failed to accelerate. He then waves to me and laughs. Later the two lane road opens up to four briefly at an intersection where the speed limit kicks up to 50mph. I pass him. As I am signaling to move back left (right lane ends) behind the vehicle that he was behind he suddenly kicks up his speed dramatically to attempt to block. I move over anyway and wave.

Kinda hard to make it out, but here's one from one of the speed trap towns that likes to show off the cars they buy from the revenue they collect. http://www.dwasifar.com/kildeer101.jpg Both Kildeer and Westmont like to bring their vehicles to car shows, but I couldn't find any recent westmont photos on the web. > They used to just have a small "M" and the plate number. the M was full size: http://www.carreflections.com/PoliceCarGallery/fullsize/WestmontIL.jpg The MP is small and vertical. Most 'M' cars are now just misc city/government vehicles these days. Most of the cop cars with those plates have been retired. But it's difficult to tell with the unmarked cars because sometimes they are kept for a very long time.

Once restrained, the need and right of the officer to use force has ended. Punishment is a judge's place, not a cop's. |
