The bad doughnuts are a possibility, though.
I cant argue with that necessarily, just because the Police do it doesnt mean they are allowed to do it. They are not legally allowed to speed unless in an emergency but they do it anyway. I have heard quite a few times where an officer has gotten a speeding ticket while on patrol from a statie. Serves them right! Did Corzine ever get ticketed for lack of seatbelt?
