I have toiled over whether or not to post this. But after reading other posts here about public servants speeding (and other 'behavior') I decided to tell this story:
LEO's: We as citizens can only do so much. I would hope that you police your own when you find out about or witness such behavior.
On black Friday, (the day after thanksgiving) I was released from work around 9:00 AM. While driving from the airport to my home in Fishers, I noticed a white, unmarked SUV with a municipal tag and LED light bar with clear lenses (so I couldn't tell if it was fire/rescue/LEO/etc.) entered I465 Northbound at 71st Street. He went flying by me like I was standing still, flew across 3 lanes of traffic to the far left lane without signaling, and proceeded to leave me in the dust. He was not running his lights or siren.
I was able to keep sight of him and even catch up a little as he ran into traffic. He would fly up behind cars in the left lane, and if they didn't move out of his way he would swerve at the last second to go around them. He did this to no less than 10 cars. On 4 occasions as he swerved to go around the panicked driver in front would also swerve to the center lane nearly causing a collision. Four times he crossed all three lanes of traffic in one swoop without using a signal to swerve around cars in his way.
I called 911 and reported this aggressive and dangerous driving. When he came up to several cars in his way, I was able to catch him and get the tag number. Once his lane was clear he took off again and I wanted to try and pace him. At 80 MPH I gave up as he was still pulling away fast. He made no less than 15 lane changes at high speed without using his signal.
Just prior to Allisonville Road, he ran into traffic again and I was able to catch up to him. He actually slowed down and used his signal to get all the way over to the right lane to exit on Allisonville. I was able to get next to him. (I was trying to video all of this on my iphone) Below is a still photo taken from the video. He looks like a DNR Conservation Officer??
I then got behind him to follow and see where he was headed. I had a hunch so as he got in a long line to turn towards Castleton Mall, I went straight and cut through the Hardees Parking lot to see if he would come by me heading towards the mall. Sure enough, he went flying by and turned into the mall. I was able to catch the light just right to get a few cars behind him, and sure enough, he parked in the lot at Castleton Mall, exited his vehicle and proceeded to enter the mall!
I called ISP again and raised hell. The guy on the phone was in disbelief and disappointed, but oddly enough NEVER ASKED FOR MY CONTACT INFO OR THE VIDEO that I told him I had taken.
If there is one thing I will NOT stand for it's a public servant abusing their privileges/authority. I'm sure nothing ever happened from my report, as I was never contacted.

To her for that... she ended up getting the ticket taken away, but she did it the right way and went to court to do it just like anybody else would have to do.
