First, thank you for your service. Second, this thread is full of cop haters because 5% of cops are bad. Third, for some reason they won't listen to reason or the facts. Forth, I don't think they will ever change.
I DO NOT FOR ONE MINUTE THINK ANYONE ON HERE HATES COPS. We are just tired of a mentality which you seem to possess, which says, "I can do what ever I want, because I am a Cop."
My dad was on a rescue squad call as a volunteer, and got his pickup stuck in a ditch. The Sheriff's Deputy on the scene offered to pull him out, but first he had to go to the office and get a chain. Dad hopped in the Ford Expedition / Police vehicle with him to ride along. The Deputy ran 110 MPH on a two lane highway for 10 miles to get the chain, when Dad said something about his speed he said, "No it's alright, I do it all the time."
That is the attitude that bothers many of us here, and unfortunately you do not seem to understand that. Until the use of excessive speed in nonemergency situations ceases, some of us will continue to have a problem with around 90% of those in cruisers. I say that because almost 100% of the time we are on the highway they pass us 20+ over the speed limit.
