the cop has his window rolled down and looked right at the driver of the rickshaw "Hey, watch it a-hole" (edited for subsim readers)
I was quite surprised the cop said that
Stay classy New York

I had something similar happen about a year ago in my county of residence.I was driving my F-250 work truck through a small town and I went to turn left into a store.The town is on a blind curve so the speed limit is 30 MPH.So I wait for this other car to drive past south bound no one is behind him so I turn after he passes.Low and behold as I am turning a Sheriffs car came flying around the bend he was going well past 30MPH to come up so fast just driving not running lights or anything.
As I am walking out of my truck this jerk pulls up in the next spot and Says "you need to watch yourself buddy" well it ticked me off a bit because the near miss was
his fault not mine because he was going so damn fast to go from not even being visible to right upon on a blind curve that has about 200 yards of open space after you round it.So I said "if you had not been going double the speed limit through a town on a blind curve we would not be having this conversation buddy". He just sat there of course because he knew I was right and was not afraid to say it to his face so he mumbled something to himself and drove away.
Every LE agency has a few goof balls in it I suppose the larger it gets the more you'll find.Funny thing is a friend of mine who also works on the same department told me that they actually fired a few people because they where driving recklessly.One group actually had been drag racing each other and clipped and one car flipped the only way they knew what happened was because a Deputy Explorer kid was with them and dimed them out this of course did not make the local papers the real cause of the crash.
