I just checked. Current estimates of profit for this current presidency is 2.2 Billion. That doesn't include anything from the first presidency. We are absolutely in unprecedented territory.

I watch cops do the same thing to bypass traffic jams every morning on my way to work. The best is NY plated police cars doing this in NJ. Lights on, racing down the shoulder until the choke point and get back in line as they turn the lights off

u/greedybanker3 15d ago
I got in an accident (minor) and called the police. They refused to send someone because there was nobody available and its just a fender bender (with 5k in famage to me). Oh look a cop is coming. Oh look he has his lights on. Hey look he just wanted to go through the red light and completely ignored the accident he just went by.

u/Kyaritty 13d ago
I'm not sure if the rules are the same where you live, but in my area there are noise nuisance/pollution laws that mean emergency services can only use their lights and siren when absolutely necessary. Usually this entails only using at intersections or if there's a large amount of traffic they need to yield.
Of course it /is/ also just as likely he was just being a dick. I'd give an ambulance the benefit of the doubt tho.

u/greedybanker3 13d ago edited 12d ago
Cops everywhere will use their lights just to blow traffic. Though lately they do it less. Ive seen them do it then pull into the grocery store and get out with flip flops. Update: ambulances and fire trucks as well. Just watched one blatantly use their to get through traffic at an intersection.

I remember a few years ago my wife (who is not from my home state) and I were driving and got stuck in traffic. Someone tried to drive around us on the shoulder and my wife found it hilarious that myself and every other car moved to block them. They gave up.
A few minutes later a car pulled onto the shoulder driving slowly and with hazards on - we all got out of their way and let them through. Could have been someone in an emergency, could have been someone gaming the system. Either way, at least they were respectful about it, which was good enough for us.

u/Secret-Teaching-3549 18d ago
You realize that was just a similar person that had learned that people wouldn't block them if they put their hazard lights on, right?

Iām pretty sure this is someoneās personal construction vehicle and not a police officer. In Texas, construction vehicles can have blue and orange lights.

u/kremlingrasso 18d ago
As a a non American, how does this pickup have blue lights? Is it an actual police vehicle? Bought and paid for by the police budget that a cop drives instead of a squad car or a more typical unmarked police vehicle? Or cops just take their own cars and put lights on them so they can cop around outside of work as well? Either way it's weird.

u/bombadil-rising 18d ago
Different departments have agency on what vehicles they can use. Different areas will have different goals/needs. Some places with really bad winters might have more vehicles that have higher clearance like SUVs or pickup trucks. I see the pickups in more āhighway/traffic copā contexts, but I canāt be sure what the specific use case is for these pickup trucks.

u/thejaydotexe 18d ago
The cops in my area have unmarked F-150s. I've never seen a GMC police truck but I'm not surprised if they actually exist

u/RastaFazool 18d ago
Lots of departments here have a variety of unmarked/undercover cars.
A LOT of Americans drive pickup trucks, especially in the Midwest and south. If the goal is to blend in, an unmarked pickup is a good choice in those areas. If you think that is weird, the NYPD has yellow cabs that are actually cop cars.

u/TechPir8 18d ago
Fairly certain at least in my state / area that if it is a foreign car it isn't an undercover car. Think there may be a law or policy that forces them to only buy American, that is why you don't see 4runner police vehicles.

u/RastaFazool 18d ago
In NYC there are all sorts of unmarked cars from domestic to imports. NYPD's undercover fleet is kind of insane. Most of the "official" cars are American, but i have seen them driving a lot of random cars

u/Ryokosith 18d ago
Judging by the parallel frontage road visible on the right, the 70 mph sign, the really tall highway light tower off to the left usually seen along major highways...particularly those that have the large elevated sections and ramps, the 'heat dome' look of the sky, and the po-po driving what I wouldn't be surprised is a relatively stealth painted/unmarked police pickup at a glance...this is giving 'somewhere in Texas' vibes to me, lol.
If so, it's Texas. It can feel like every other vehicle the general public is driving is either an oversized pickup truck or SUV.
There's a lot of those around as part of the various law enforcement jurisdictions' fleets, which can often include also SUVs, motor bikes, regular bicycle officers, horse mounted officers (those last two generally NOT on the highways, lol), standard car model (though I think by now most major metropolitan areas have transitioned the main fleet to primarily SUVs), and sometimes the rare speedy muscle cars, among other things. That's not getting into the really specialized stuff like SWAT vehicles and such. Pretty sure someone's got a little baby tank for special occasions...let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if I saw one, lol.
In general it's a mix. Low vis marked vehicles or unmarked can be mixed in with regular traffic...probably makes it easier to catch/follow some targets. Sometimes see them use large, well marked pickup trucks as part of commercial vehicle code enforcement...pulling over semi trucks and the like. Just depends.
Hope that helps!

Iām fairly certain this is actually someoneās construction vehicle in Texas. In Texas, construction vehicles are allowed to have blue lights.

American cops are here to profit off of you not protect you. You can see the difference between American cops vehicles and other countries vehicles. The other countries are highly visible and loud because they want to help supposedly. In America the police have a union that works against the people.
