Is calling some one a drama queen a personal attack?

How about if I call you a tool bag? Is that a personal attack?

Absolutely. But for SAFETY, it would be a whole lot easier to just have marked police cruisers driving around.

getting back to the OP's subject, if a taxi or minivan...whatever it may be is trying to pull me over, theres no way in hell I would stop. How do you know for sure they are real cops. How many times in the news have you heard of people impersonating a police officer, pulling people over only to rob them, beat them up or kill them. Really, where is the sense in this if this is true that the p.o. can use civilian cars as a cover.

Even with an unmarked car, they say to call 911 to confirm that the unmarked is a true p.o.
You don't get out of the car or open your window until you confirm it.

There is no sense of safety left with imbeciles running loose in the world, everything and every situation needs to be questioned.

All the blinky lights in the grill and what looked like in the trim surrounding the windshield. But of course, anyone can do that.

This is an aspect I hadn't thought of...

My thoughts have always been that marked cruisers were the best deterent to speeding, while unmarked cruisers generated the most money. Is this about safety or profit? Just sayin'....

Glad you survived the stopping-short incident. Sounds like it could have been tragic.
Well...there was the jackknifed tractor-trailer right after the Brookville Blvd exit Wednesday morning if that counts.
