My point was, if he was speeding why couldnt I ? So back to the wardens, if I have to wear a vest to be safe why doesnt he wear one?
Yep!!! I had a cop stop me one night when I followed him at 78 m.p.h. on I-85 for like five miles. I figured if he was speeding I could also. He asked if I thought I was above the law. I told him " no sir" do you think you are? Yes I did get the ticket!
How foolish! How do you know if he was possibly persuing a DUI suspect or en-route to assist another officer? They dont always use lights and sirens because depending on the time of day and or traffic conditions it often causes people to panic creating a bigger problem than if they just left them off. Now that may not have been the case in your situation but it could have been. Ive been in public safety a long time and I always find it humorous when people just assume what the officer is doing is wrong and they can do it to. Now im not saying the officer was in the right cause he may not have been, but sometimes they speed its whats required to possibly save someones life when time could be of the essence.Yep!!!

But heres the thing, how are they supposed to sneak in and catch a slippery poacher if they see them coming. As stated before if just checking licenses or patrolling then yes, but if trying to bust someone breaking the law for hunting over bait, tresspasing etc. then no. But unfortunately with some of the morons thats in the woods its a inherited risk if they decide not too.
