RALIEGH, N.C. (WSOC) -- The North Carolina Highway Patrol is responding to a video caught by ABC's "20/20" showing state troopers in Raleigh dangerously speeding.
They said none of these incidents was during an emergency.
ABC clocked one of the police cruisers going 80 mph headed to a Dunkin' Donuts.
Another was caught traveling 75 mph in a 45 mph zone.
In a statement, Highway Patrol said, "We are committed to being a law enforcement agency dedicated to serving the citizens of North Carolina. We require our troopers to operate their vehicles in careful and prudent manner."
It also said Highway Patrol has taken appropriate action against the three troopers involved but didn't elaborate.
If a citizen is caught going 15 mph over the limit, they could lose their license or even face jail time

Earlier this year some friends and I were driving behind a cop. He was going faster than us, then pulled over, waited for us to pass, and pulled us over for speeding. We weren't tailgating or anything, either. 
I also frequently see cops turn their sirens on just to get past traffic.

More people need to step up and call these fascist pricks on the carpet. If you see a cop stepping outside their legal limits, make a complaint, get their badge number if you can, get their license plate numbers, anything to show that they can't get away with the crap they charge other people with. Cops are citizens bound by laws, same as anybody else. It's time to show them that they're not immune. If it means making complaints to the precincts, so be it.

Not mushroom or drug related.
It is easy to catch cops speeding. If you see a cop going fast, make a cell phone video. Then measure the distance between two visible points in the video and calculate the speed. Take the video to the cop shop and a week later return to find out what was done about it.
You can also call the news, the media loves stories like this.

Stopped reading here. Capital job, gents. The plural you should be held accountable for your plural failure to do your goddamn job with the requisite measure of decorum and absence of glaring hypocrisy. But you won't be because you're just so essential! I can't stay mad at you, essential service providers of the US. Keep suppressing those minorities.

At least they were honest enough, to commit the infraction in uniform and in a marked car. So they could be identified accurately.
