Re: I\'m likely just a nit
I remember reading a story a couple years ago about several fire fighters (maybe police as well) getting suspended for using a special transmitter that changes traffic signals to green. Here in my town we have many traffic lights that respond to these transmitters and it allows fire trucks, etc. to get through busy intersections by overriding the upcoming traffic signals.
Also, I had an old girlfriend date a cop a couple of years after me. She was in a BMW and he was in his police car and for fun he chased her down the interstate with his lights on at well over 100mph in the middle of the night. Probably not smart or safe. I think he was trying to impress her with his authority to break the law.
