Description

New Haven Police Department car w/ lic. 112 NH guns engine to run light several seconds after it even turned to red. No lights/siren not in a rush since he proceeded to cruise down Elm toward the green. He just didn't think he should have to wait for the light like everyone else? Dozens of motorists were there to take note of this as well as at least that many pedestrians and a New Haven Fire Dept. Vehicle parked on Elm. Isn't this an intersection where reckless driving has recently caused a number of casualties? I keep seeing reports of NHPD driving as if they are above the law and NEVER see any feedback from the Department of the City. Do you even care about this issue? I do.

Acknowledged By CTLS. Red light running and other control violations are a major concern of community groups throughout Connecticut, and responsible for hundreds of serious crashes every year.

The cops are out of control. There is a lot more than just running red lights (which is bad itself) that they should not be doing

I have been saying this for a while. When Lewis was chief, this kind of behavior happened a lot less. This new chief Limon seems like he just doesn't care what his officers do. Running red lights, speeding, burning rubber, parking violations, and general disregard for traffic safety have become commonplace for the NHPD. If the officer is responding to a call, that is different, but they still have to have their lights/sirens on.
What the person above did was the right thing to do, take the number of the squad car, time, day, and make an anonymous call. Video is better. After all, every officer isn't guilty of this and we shouldn't throw stones at all of the NHPD. They are by and large a group of good people. There are a few who need to be disciplined, and being specific will help the NHPD to do just that.
