Fausto Lopez is someone who does not like to be late for work. Running late this month for his security job, Lopez was clocked speeding at 120 mph and then took police on a car chase. The security position is his second job. He is a Miami police officer.
A Florida highway trooper D.J. Watts spotted Lopez, 35, around 6:30 a.m. on Oct. 11 in the southbound lanes of Florida’s Turnpike near Hollywood Boulevard. Below, Officer Watts forces Lopez to get out at gunpoint:
He was charged with a misdemeanor and released.

My guess is he knows someone that can take care of that ticket for him.
There goes the day job. Both of them.
Seems appropriate to play Highway to Hell…..
This guy is too stupid to be a cop or a rent a cop!
Now, as soon as he is on the job, this officer can get in his police cruiser and chase some scofflaw at 120 mph, and the state will argue that his action is safe enough, while the scofflaw’s actions are such a danger to society that he will be incarcerated.
Meanwhile in Germany, Mom and Pop can drive at 175 mph. What a shame that those German cars are not for sale in the U.S. – they must really be something else.

on the v12 bmw’s there is a small tag on the drivers door post recommending z rated tires as the vehicle will do in excess of 200mph
this is a funny story…
Wow!!! After all that, he was only charged with a misdemeaner. Goes to show us that cops ARE above the law.
The Miami police should have the cars taken away after their shift , it’s not right they are using them to go to a second job at the taxpayers expence .
