Did you have a cell phone? Did you call the police to report the trucker?

Ya know, it is easy to bash cops and law-enforcement. I see/hear it a lot. But, "on the other side of the coin" you don't know what the circumstances are/were at the time of the cops taking a break for lunch or dinner.

I know several folks that work as officers. Just like truckers, farmers, mechanics, cops, lawyers, "whatever"... there are folks that do a good job and there are folks that slack off! A police officer can work an 8 to 10 hour shift and if he makes an arrest in the last hour or so he can be filling out paperwork for an additional hour or two. Also, many officers drive the police cars home {many departments encourage officers to do so}. The cops could have been off duty. Other uses for the cars, is to transport prisoners to correctional institutes at some distance from their precinct.

You just don't know what was the situation with the officers! I have driven semi for many years, and never been hassled by police officers {even got pulled over by DOT in INDIANA, but got off with no more than a warning}. I have hauled oversized loads and not been hassled.

I know that when police do their job... folks complain... until a police officer doesn't do his job... then folks complain!

Next time you see a law breaker phone it in! I have made many phone calls to police from my car/pickup truck/semi. They always seem appreaciative for the info.
