This is a cut and paste from the "This is just wrong!" thread a while back, you obviously didn't see it Solvent.

Ugh.
When will people stop fucking complaining about the cops with the absolutly pathetic excuse of "YOU SHOULD BE CATCHING CRIMINALS AND RAPISTS AND AND IM NOT A CRIMINAL" etc.

In case you didn't notice, we have 120 (?) shiny new cop cars with yellow and blue stickers over them.
These are called Highway Patrol cars.
They Patrol the Highways.
That is what they do.
That is all they do.

Before these HP cars came along, we still had highway patrol cars, they were just in the same livery as incident cars.
A lot of the incident cars (the ones that catch rapists and real criminals...) don't even have any speed detecting equipment in them, let alone lasers. They either sit at the station, waiting for a call. Or patrol the streets looking for sus people.

Now imagine you were an incident car, patrolling around at 3am on a wednesday morning. Or even better, returning from an incident. You see a boyracer in a bombed out Sigma doing a handy around a corner. Are you going to go "ohh.. Im not a HP person, I won't pull him over"?
Nah, didn't think so.
Even if he did get a call out for a rapist while writing the ticket, I think he would drop the ticket and go off to the rapist.

Police are Police are Police. If they see you break the law, and they arn't busy with another call, then they will more than likely arrest/fine you. If they see dogyness, they will probaly want to speak to you.
