And he got a good lecture about abusing his power as an elected official in an official vehicle.

Even better. 

Prof claims racial profiling , writes letter and then later signs a written statement with the same claims.  Gets arrested for making a false statement

Anybody know what the posted speed limit is for that road?  I can't imagine getting popped for going 94 mph and then let go with a warning.

And basically like I’m saying is treat me like a boy.

Is that code for what I think it is?

And yes, "Acting like an ass in a state/local vehicle" needs to have some consequences.  Here in Va the cop is supposed to submit a report of any stop to the state risk management dept regardless of the reason or outcome.  I've known of a few folks who lost their privilege of using a state vehicle (which also  means no mileage reimbursement for their POV).  Our overlords may well be asshats but the powers that be do not like hearing complaints about them behaving that way - at least not on the public roads.

stay safe.

As much as I criticize the cops, you couldn't ask to be stopped by a much nicer one than that guy.

The "gentleman with the attitude" needs to slow down his mouth as well as his (the state's) car.

The underlying problem is that ranking members of the dem party rarely have to face consequences for breaking laws, its no wonder they have such arrogance.

In my state a former AG crashed several state owned vehicles while drunk, and claimed the vehicles were in 'hit and run' accidents while parked in her driveway.

More recently, the state dem spokesman was charged with a 1st offence owi by a dem DA, even though he had 2 prior owi convictions.

Meh.  Who cares on this. A cop lecturing a elected critter about public perception.  [barf]

The only cop friend my dad has ever had got forced out of the state police months before retirement. He had been put on DOT duty and loved the "punishment." His offenses to get there were not only wrecking a few cruisers but his willingness to ticket anyone and everyone, especially all the one and two digit VA tags that he was supposed to leave alone. Judges, other cops, he wrote it. And it cost him a retirement. Great system eh?

Doesn't specify where on I-10, but at least the section west of Sealy is 75mph.  That would put him just shy of 20 over.  Anybody else would get a ticket for 19 over without some major extenuating circumstances, though.  (Since there aren't any 95 zones, he can't claim he just missed the sign where the limit dropped.  He was also about an hour's drive (even at 94mph) from the closest 80 or 85 zone (SH-130 toll section) and three hours from the closest 80 zone on I-10.)

I work occasionally on a remote site where I share an office with a state employee. He and his colleagues refer to their state IDs as "get out of jail free" cards. Anyone driving a state car has to REALLY screw up before a cop will pull them over. (Such as doing 94 MPH in an official state vehicle.)

The hired county administrator in the county I moved away from awhile back finally got thrown in the hoosegow for DUI.  I guess making a practice of it daily for several years finally met a police officer who didn't care he was boss.
