Can a cop pull over another cop?

Hey Eisenhower, the war is in Iraq and Afghanistan. Glad you don't have jurisdition at NASCAR and bumper cars.

Hey F#ckstick, care to clarify, you come across like a half-tarded water head.

Wow, there sure is a lot of bad information out there.

Every state is different and someone already cited the Texas statute so that may be a good thing to read.

About cops giving other cops tickets on duty....It could certainly be done; a law is a law. However, most likely, the infraction would be handled internally and you would never hear about it. I would guess that about 25% of all the complaints I investigated as a Sgt involved driving behavior.

If a citizen calls and complains that an officer is speeding, not using proper signals, etc., their immediate supervisor has to open an investigation.

At a minimum, this includes an interview with the officer and written documentation as to why the incident happened. If the behavior is not easily explained, then the call for service gets pulled and printed hard copy. That lets you know what priority the incident was. The radio traffic gets pulled, recorded onto a cassette, and a transcription typed. That lets you hear what was going on with other calls for service around that time. Other officers may be interviewed.

All of this gets typed up into a complaint investigation. The party that originally called gets a return call with an explanation of the outcome (not necessarily a detailed explanation depending on the circumstances).

In the event a citation is written to the offending officer, it is written inside the internal investigation division in an office. It is NEVER done on the street.

What most people do not understand is that there is a lot of activity going on. Even if the car you see right next to you is not rushing to a crime spree, they are actually monitoring the activity in the City and responding to issues frequently.

Rarely, RARELY, do you drive with lights/sirens on to get through traffic. Most motorists are just not capable of reacting in accordance with traffic law (pulling to the right when safe and stopping). So, it is better in my opinion not to use lights/siren often. But, according to most state laws, you are subject to all traffic law UNLESS you are using lights/sirens.

One additional note: while an officer is driving his car, he is most likely reading a call for service on a computer screen, listening to a radio that is attached to his lapel, monitoring traffic flow to get through traffic, and controlling a vehicle.

To answer your question directly - it is not going to happen.

I saw an ASU West campus cop get pulled over by a Glendale city cop after the ASU cop ran a red light. Don't know what happened, but I saw him get pulled over with lights flashing.

If the OP is so concerned about this become a cop and change it. Otherwise deal with it. They can speed all they want as long as I dont feel like a need to carry my own side arm around for safety.

What-e-ver, dude. Don't know what's sadder: your belief that I should just become a cop and "change it", or the fact that you actually took time out of your day and put forth the effort to post it.

If you ever find yourself "so concerned" that the butcher doesn't slice your meat thick enough, does that mean you should become one to "change it"? Acoording to your logic, I guess so. Otherwise deal with it. Looks like a lifetime of overly-thin meat for you. Enjoy!

BTW, nice job not answering the question of--nor contributing to--the thread at all.

The Gaines-Lyga incident was subtly dramatized in the 2004 Academy Award winning film, Crash.[/quote]

This may be the only instance where subtle can be used in reference to Crash.
