A Cop Pulls Over Another Cop? Turns Out No One Is Above The Law!
Policewoman pulls over another police car and arrests the driver at gunpoint for speeding at 120mph!
Us here Brits over the pond don't usually hear good things about the American police force. The reason being is that the good things that happen aren't put on the news. The bad bits on the other hand are pushed against our faces until we can recite the damn news report. So it's not our fault, we promise.
So when something good happens like this, I feel it's our duty to show people, and to thank and compliment the work of the policeman/woman. So here's one example. Thank you policewoman for upholding the law - the way it should be.
This video shows FHP Trooper Donna Watts pulling over a speeding police car, arresting and detaining the driver - another policeman from Miami - at gunpoint. He was recorded at driving 120mph while off duty, resulting in his arrest. It even turned out that he was a habitual offender.
This arrest didn't go down to well between the agencies and has led to a few unfortunate incidents, some incidents including port-a-potty excrement... Nice huh?
The offender was apparently earning $52,000 a year to protect and serve the people of Miami, but he used his police car to speed to another job while he was off duty. Good thing he had another job, too, as he was fired from this one.

Thank you Stephen!!! We have a great team!
Wouldn't it be ironic if Judas Priest's "Breakin' the Law" was blasting out.
Did she even call it in though? it seems like you would call it in and radio the other officer to avoid a chase that endangers the public (however slight).
"No one is above the law"
You don't say? I had no Idea.
Some policeman seem to think they are above the law. Most are correct, as it's deemed as betrayal when a police officer arrests a fellow colleague.
You don't seem to have caught my sarcasm.
So in the US a police officer on duty gets to take the police car with them? I would expect that kind of police to be fired for not having a clean history.
As far as I'm aware that sort of history doesn't show up when they search for past felonies. Don't take my word for it, though!
In most cases off duty officers do not have their squad cars, except in the case of elected law enforcement such as the Sheriff. Sometimes detectives and higher ranking officers are given unmarked cars for off-duty use.
