Hypocrisy alert: Maryland cops speed – and refuse to pay

It seems 148 police officers in Montgomery County, Md., are speeding through video enforcement speed zones.

But, surely that includes cops on legitimate calls, right?

NO – that’s after 76 cops on actual pursuits were eliminated from the original 224 speeders.

And, wait, it gets better.

The AP story says: “The police union says officers shouldn't pay because the citations are issued to the owner of a vehicle, in this case the county, and not to the driver.”
