‘Reckless abuse of power’

Dear Editor:

I feel that I should call out the police officer that was driving behind me on Highway 6 between Guelph and Fergus the evening of May 2.

It seemed like he was trying to catch up with his co-worker that was now a few kilometres ahead of me.

I thought it must be pretty important (not enough for lights) when he used the passing lane to speed by me at over 120km/h, which he held until reaching Fergus. I guess he was just craving McDonald’s, as this was where he went.

Am I missing something? It seemed to me like a reckless abuse of power; enlighten me if I’m wrong please.

Shannon Lichty,
Guelph
