Don't act like...
law enforcement is the only profession that gives each other "breaks." In this case with so many witnesses and driving so reckless, cop or not, a summons would be issued.

Envy with a badge???
What a ridiculous, accusatory statement. I pulled over a guy doing 130 MPH in a 50 MPH highway zone in an F430. The opportunity presented itself in the left lane and the guy went for it. No harm no foul right...until someone pulls out of their driveway and the guy plows into the car. I'm going back to the S4 board as my envy is too great over here on the RS side.

you have no idea.
I have a few friends who are in law enforcement. One of them told me a story about having to get up at 2am to "take care of" his sister's boyfriend (not even a family member!) who got a DWI...just wiped the slate clean and sent him home. it happens ALL the time.
there was a story published in SoCal several years ago that revealed NONE of any of the active members of the San Diego PD and San Diego FD (nor any of their family members) had been cited for ANY traffic violation over an 8 year period....not one. so you don't think any of those hundreds of people were driving recklessly and had witnesses? time to wake up.

It's pretty funny...
when someone is telling you something about your own profession and they really haven't got a clue. Yeah, I believe that a cop gets a call in the middle of the night, goes to to bail his sisters boyfriend out of jail and the whole thing completely disappears. You're joking right. Was that in Russia? I guess the boyfriend was un-arrested and all the information (and audio) entered into the computer/cad system that 99% of PD's use was just erased. I got news for you guys - If you think I'm losing my $115K+/yr. job and great pension because some douche bag decides to get bombed and drive, you're mislead. I'm done.
