Default ha, I posted about their breakdown lane stakeouts a few weeks ago

Instead of citing the BDL users in Needham who go 20-40 over the speed limit, these troopers get pleasure by busting on people who are about to exit the freeway

Default I think that trooper is a complete moron...

if he didn't think it was safe for them to be driving in the bdl then he should have just told him to get in the right lane w/ the warning that if he saw him in the bdl again he'd get cited. Obviously the guy had a legitimate reason and wasn't just doing it for the hell of it. Nothing worse than a cop that thinks he has the right to be a dick to people because he's standing there with a badge!

Default I would've escorted the car thru traffic to Mt Auburn Hosp. Simple as that.

This incident is an egregious example of poor discretion. Shocking lack of judgement.

Well, at least the good (you) can balance out some of the bad (the other trooper) ))

Default I am glad to see you post that. Obviously the family could have been hurt or hurt someone else

based on the possibilities but IMO the officer should had addressed the immediate concern and helped the family. No matter what your profession you still have to be a good human-being!

Default I was hoping you'd say that, cos that's what I would've expected...curious the previous 2

staties didn't take it upon themselves to do that either, or let their colleague down the road know these folks were heading their way.

*shakes head*
