Absolutely correct–when it is warranted.
But Bill got busted for running two stop signs, laying down rubber in town, and then ignoring the police cars following him, causing enough concern to require an attempt to run him off the road to stop him.
For all the cops knew, he was drunk, or on meth, or carrying. He was clearly violating the law and the police considered him an immediate threat.
You want polite? When the cops found out he was just a “hot-rodder” (and undoubtedly breathing a sigh of relief that they would get to go home to their families that night because of it) they only cited him for six minor infractions.
That’s as polite as he deserves, by Kdapt. They could have cited him for reckless driving. They didn’t. They instead made an attempt, it seems, to impress upon him that such driving is not acceptable. Obviously this is a lesson he has not taken to heart.
