FHP

[Spike88]

Despite this happening 9 days ago, I didn't hear about this until today. The story from FHP's side is that the City of Miami officer was doing 120MPH on the turnpike(60-70MPH is the max) outside of his jurisdiction. He didn't have his lights on, and wasn't heading towards an emergency. The trooper calls in the the fact she sees him. Apparently she was told to just get his tag number and that her supervisor will handle it, the problem is they don't know whether or not she got this message.

She turns on her lights and gets behind him, following him for several minutes, and the rest you can see in the video.

While I do agree she shouldn't pull over another law enforcement agent while they're in a marked car, and she had no reason to draw a gun on him, the law is the law, and no one should be above the law.

I honestly think she should of handled this discreetly as it makes everyone look bad when law enforcement agencies squabbles amongst themselves.


The worst part is that, City of Miami is retailating and has spread feces on one trooper's car(who lives within the City of Miami) and another trooper was pulled over by City of Miami officer outside of the City of Miami(although this officer may lose his job as the FHP Officer's brother is actually an Internal Affairs officer for the City of Miami )

Law enforcement agencies throughout Florida are looking down on FHP officer. While the general populace is saying that it's about time someone stopped law enforcement agencies from speeding wherever the hell they want to(although as a note Metro Dade is actually the worst about this) The public's support of FHP and the news having their hands on it is just adding salt to the wound.

Long story short, both sides are being stubborn as it's boiled down to politics.


Also the Trooper in question just transferred to Miami 5 months ago, she originally worked in Northern Florida.
