Cops break the law in Miami all the time in their private vehicles because they know they can get away with it... One of my friends is a cop and daily he tells me of his going over 130MPH in his car and over 160MPH on his motorcycle..He's had a few close calls in both but has been lucky so far.. Being a cop does make you feel invincible it seems since he doesn't wear a seat-belt while driving his police car because he says he needs to be quick to get out of the vehicle and so forth.. I think this should be a lesson to any police officer not to break the law...

The other driver came forward, and was questioned by by the police. He was driving a BMW. Good that the guy came forward. Very sad that this young man lost his life due to a spur of the moment bad decision. I have done the same in my youth, but was lucky enough to avoid sharing the same fate. RIP.

No one is perfect and cops are humans too not robots. Everyone makes mistakes. This could have happened to anyone. This is a tragic story so lets try to keep this thread away from your personal feelings about law enforcement and the way you think they all behave and learn the lessons against street racing as it's intended.

My prayers go out to his family.
