Agreed.

Me getting to work on-time is more important than someone being rescued and safely receiving medical assistance for his/her injuries from first responders.

That cop should be fired , people dont understand that firefighters are called out to EVERYTHING. Most of these guys are also voluntary and are not getting paid and some are paid. The cop was out of line , i have no problems when a lane is blocked off due to someone needing medical help , also its not easy just to move traffic over from one side to the other.

That cop is a dirt bag and deserves to lose his badge, piece of ****.

Agreed and what made if worse is the cop is a CHP officer; not some Colorado City Arizona "Warren Jeffs" yokel who DOES need to be in jail. Word is the state troopers across the US have the rep of being professional.

How many people have had their rights violated or been the victims of corruption at the hands of Police???
Yes, the police do go overboard, a lot!

I pulled up on a car fire at night (two lane Hi-way) Both lanes blocked, I simply turned the ignition off, put the radio on and sat there until traffic started moving again. What else is there to do, complain ?

So you will be a little late to work.. it's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.

I would also hate to hear they screwed up a crime scene because they were in a rush to get traffic moving.
Or that firemen got injured because some dimwit plowed into the accident zone and no truck was there to protect the rescuers. I'll wait, thank you.

Yes, complain until heads roll. They should have opened at least one lane once any survivors were taken care of and the fire was out. None of that requires blocking both lanes, unless there is an alternate route, for hours.

Agreed and I'd rather have a big rig based fire engine sitting behind me than a cop car just in case of dimwits.
