Some of them might have started out with the intention of protecting the public, but then most joined because they want their egos stroked.

Being a cop also pays decent and like noted, doesn't take much in the way of academic prowess. They start at around $25/hr around here for city/sheriff, and Troopers end up at around $35 on avg.

Some here. 135 mph on the straight into hard braking for a 70 mph turn, lap after lap it felt solid as a rock. The quick steering ratio and short wheelbase do react very quickly to steering inputs at those speeds so you do need steady hands. The 740 in comparison is a boat, wheelbase is 21 inches longer and contributes significantly to high speed stability. Even compared to the 911 the Z has a quicker ratio and the ratio is fixed vs a variable ratio in the 911.

Here is another rant on cops from a comedian http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect....1.04.26ACS.mp3

didn't want this to be a cop bashing thread since there are some good ones out there but its the bad ones that make them all look bad. we all know it doesn't require much intelligence to be in law enforcement.

i heard on the news last night that in my area they will cut the pay of the police by 10% and will lay off some officers due to budget problem.

Then you better start driving the speed limit if you don't already.

141mph felt great. It wanted more. Non-Nismo.
