NYC city councilman catches cop speeding, swerving, to get to Dunkin' Donuts for coffee - Polidicks

[url]http://cbs4denver.com/watercooler/speeding.for.coffee.2.1757794.html[/url] [release]A traffic officer is under investigation, accused of acting above the law. It all began when a city councilman allegedly caught the agent doing something extremely illegal: using his flashing red lights, and speeding, to buy coffee! It wasn't a red light camera, but a red-haired councilman who caught traffic agent Daniel Chu red-handed, waltzing out of a Dunkin Donuts the other day with a cup of coffee. "He is livid," City Councilman Daniel Halloran said. Chu apparently didn't like being caught on candid camera, so he whipped out his ticket book and handed the councilman a $165 ticket for what Halloran says are trumped-up charges. "He says, 'you're going to take pictures of me? Well, I'm going to write you a summons,'" Halloran said. But that's only part of the story. A few minutes earlier, Councilman Halloran decided to follow Chu through the quiet streets of his Whitestone, Queens neighborhood after Chu put on his flashing red lights, as if to rush to an emergency. "He was on a cell phone, talking while this was going on," Halloran said. The "emergency" soon became apparent. "He was in a rush to get a coffee coolata at Dunkin Donuts, and felt he could blow stop signs, speed, swerve in traffic," Halloran said. Halloran says he couldn't believe a traffic agent would break so many laws. "This guy is running around in a police department vehicle at high rates of speed, careening through a neighborhood, to get to Dunkin Donuts," Halloran said. "I think there's a real problem with that." It turns out that Officer Chu has something of a history in the neighborhood. Former NYPD cop Tim Dillon told CBS 2 he was a pallbearer at Gleason's Funeral Home when Chu showed up. "The family was getting ready to transfer the body from the funeral home to the church," Dillon said. "The traffic agent felt that they were all double-parked. There was a confrontation – he started yelling and screaming at the family members. "Traffic Agent Chu had a cigarette in his mouth, screaming at everybody. He took his cigarette and flicked it toward the area of the family and indiscriminately just started scanning the cars up and down, cursing at them, yelling at them," Dillon said. There's another thing to consider: if a police officer had seen the traffic agent talking on his cell phone, speeding, and blowing through stop signs, it could have netted him 18 points on his license – and after 11 points, your license gets revoked. Councilman Halloran is demanding a review of every ticket written by Officer Chu. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly says the case is under investigation.[/release] The officer in question: [img]http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00354/F_200708_August31ed_354361a.jpg[/img]

I thought it was just a stereotype that they went crazy for doughnuts :downs:

He even wrote the councilman a ticket for catching him doing something bad?!?! What a dick

Holy shit, doughnuts must be like some kind of hallucinogenic for that fellow

Fire him. Now.

And this is why we shouldn't let fuck heads join the Police Department. Fire him and fine the fuck out of everyone who knew he was doing this and did nothing.

I've seen police officers do this on two occasions. Once to get to a baseball game and the other time to go through a Panda Express drive through. I swear they have no screening whatsoever for these people.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;22782604]I thought it was just a stereotype that they went crazy for doughnuts :downs:[/QUOTE] Nah, I've seen a cop flick his lights on (Superbad style) and run the couple stoplights we have in town, just so he could get to the coffee shop a few minutes earlier. The lot usually has about 3 or 4 squad cars in it at around that time every night. [editline]07:27PM[/editline] [QUOTE=DrMonumbo;22783858]I've seen police officers do this on two occasions.

What a fuck head.

Looks like he was a one man donut apocalypse.

Chu doughnut mess with this guy, otherwise he's gonna be a holloran all day. [awful pun overload in 3...]

Fuck a dunk.

I saw a cop do this once a few years ago. He was stopped at the front of an Intersection which has really long lights for no reason. No Traffic was going so he turned on his sirens, went across the intersection, pulled into the Food court area, and went to the Dunkin' Donuts Drive Though, didn't turn his sirens off until he got to the window. Of course this was a California officer.

Donut or Doughnut Rate agree or disagree respectively.

[QUOTE=Cypher_09;22791967]Donut or Doughnut Rate agree or disagree respectively.[/QUOTE] The spelling changes depending on the chain. I think Dunkin' Donuts spells it differently to say, Krispy Kreme.

[QUOTE=Cypher_09;22791967]Donut or Doughnut Rate agree or disagree respectively.[/QUOTE] Rate that to what? We kind of need a statement.

So they hate hoons because they're always speeding and doing [I]donuts[/I], but what about themselves?
