This jerk needs to be drummed out of the police service. There is absolutely no excuse for putting other drivers at risk by this kind of driving, whether on duty or not. No emergency really requires a cop to exceed a speed of from 90 to 100 mph, not even to assist another officer.

MIAMI — A Miami police officer is accused of driving 120 mph on a turnpike because he was late for his off-duty job working security at a school.
The Florida Highway Patrol says officer Fausto Lopez was arrested at gunpoint after leading police on a brief high-speed chase.
According to a police report, a trooper spotted a patrol car changing lanes in a dangerous manner earlier this month. The report says the patrol car ignored warnings to pull over and led a brief high-speed chase before stopping near Hollywood.
Miami police spokesman Delrish Moss told The Associated Press on Saturday that any administrative action against Lopez will be taken after the outcome of the criminal case.
