Police breaking the same laws they use against cyclists? News at 10...
An ATXBS reader notified me of this story being run tonight on the 10 o'clock KXAN news:
Maybe they should redirect some of their "crackdown" energy and fervor into dealing with the various scofflaws and ne'er-do-wells that exist amongst the ranks of their government-sanctioned gang of ruffians. The full story airs at 10 tonight, but in their online teaser they mention the following quote:
"The only time that you're justified to do that and the only time you are legally free to do that is when your lights are on," said Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo.
Wonder if these officers are going to be receiving tickets for their illegal and incredibly unsafe behavior? If you'd like to see more video of cops running red lights illegally, check this out.
edit-
Does KXAN post videos on their site for any period of time after being aired?
I live just far enough away that I get local news from San Antonio instead of Austin.
Typically they do, especially for these special report pieces. I'll update with a link to the final story once it's aired.
