Because Montgomery cops do.

A turbo-charged Alabama cop’s career hit a wall this week after he was busted on camera drag racing with his motorcycle while on duty.
The unidentified Montgomery police officer turned in his badge after a local biker, Lawrence Lee Spillers, posted video of the race on YouTube on Sunday, WSFA-TV reported.
The five-minute clip begins with the officer pulling up to Spillers, who was riding a sport bike, at a red light.
Spillers chatted with the officer briefly before asking the cop to race.
“I got turbo,†the cop, pointing at the motor of his Harley-Davidson, tells Spillers.
Suddenly, the light turns green and the cop speeds away from the intersection. The pair cruise through traffic before stopping at another light, where they raced again.
. . .
[Police Chief Kevin] Murphy said the officer resigned and could face charges for the wild ordeal.
“There may be a traffic violation charge brought against this former officer for drag racing and the elements are there — one just has to look at the video and see for themselves,†he said.
But Spillers said he didn’t see why the cop should be punished for enjoying a nice day on two wheels.
“I think the officer was just trying to have fun,†he said. “I don’t think he should be charged with anything and I don’t think he should have lost his job.â€

I don't see the big deal. I expected weaving between cars, excessive speed, or endangering other motorists.
Further pussification of America.

He will not be fired...lack of evidence cited as the reason.

While what the cop did was dumb, I still think this guy sucks cock for posting this on the utubez. It would be different if the cop were being a dick or something but he was being really cordial to this prick and then he posts this. He prolly better watch his speed while traveling through the gump.
