I once saw a cop whip an illegal U-turn in the middle the main interstate-connected road of a small town, no lights or warning whatsoever, on a street that wasn't crammed full but was very much not empty, then nearly hit someone pulling out of a fast food joint who'd presumably already looked left and saw nothing close but a cop car going the other way, so thought it was fine to pull out ("You're supposed to check twice" sure, but there's still a window where you aren't looking one direction or another as you're pulling out—you can't not have that, it's entirely possible they did check twice). Cop pops lights and pulls the car over, probably a bullshit reckless driving citation for nearly getting hit by the cop. I felt so bad for the poor driver who did nothing wrong. Guess whatever they were heading toward wasn't so important after all, too, if they had time to stop that car for a bullshit reason. Between that and a few other not-quite-that-bad incidents, I now treat cop cars as the least-predictable cars on the road. You never know WTF they might do, and you'll be the one in trouble if they cause a wreck.
