“New Jersey police officers are furious that a Virginia sheriff’s deputy asked them to obey the traffic law in Virginia. On September 18, a speeding convoy of Passaic County, New Jersey police officers barrelled through Interstate 81 in Virginia with their emergency lights blazing — but there was no emergency. The officers were just in a hurry to get home after service in the gulf region.”
Conclusion – Cops suck. At least Jersey ones. 
I hope people read this article:
Clocked at 95 MPH in the 65 MPH zone, the convoy of about a dozen vehicles was asked to pull over by Augusta County, Virginia Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Roane. Six of the New Jersey police sped away without stopping.
Now for the law:
Under Virginia law, it is illegal to operate emergency lights when there is no emergency. Moreover, driving 80 MPH on any highway is considered reckless driving and carries a sentence of 12 months in jail, a $2500 fine, a six-month license suspension and possible car confiscation (VA code ? 46.2-862).
And the New York cops:
A convoy of New York Police Department officers returning from duties in the Gulf Coast stayed in the right-hand lane and obeyed the speed limit.
The Virginia cops should have just shot them.
ah good ‘ole I-81, that takes me back.. nice long 3.5 hour drives from richmond with tractor-trailers barrelling down on you.. good times, good times…
but yeah.. i agree, i think the VA cops should have contacted the VA State Troopers and had them pull them over (VA ST’s == CHP)… esp on that road, so many accidents each year b/c of speeding and the fact that there are so many trucks and only 2 lanes… but, as we all know, NJ is, well, NJ and is the home to the worst drivers ever..
