As anyone who drives on the highway knows, police officers are the most reckless and dangerous drivers imaginable.

Everyone always jokes about how they must be going on doughnut runs, but not many are crazy enough to actually follow the armed crusaders and see what they're actually speeding to.

Well, this heroic man, who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, actually did.

What he found was the cop who was speeding like hell, changing lanes without a turn signal, and running red lights was on a food run to the local convenience store -- to buy peanuts.

No crime in progress, no "emergency" for which he couldn't turn his lights on to be incognito, just a trip to the local convenience store, one in which he feels entitled to break every traffic law he's tasked to uphold so he can "get his."

Police say they're "investigating" the incident, but that means absolutely nothing considering stories like this one where a cop was caught speeding 737 times and the police chief refused to fire him.

The TV show 20/20 also did an excellent piece recently where they tracked down speeding cops, what they found was more of the same, and no actual punishments were doled out.

On the flip side, when one female officer actually had the audacity to track down and arrest a serial-speeding cop she caught going 120 mph on the highway (to get to his second job), she was hounded by her fellow officers and says she now lives in constant fear for her life.

Next time you see a cop cutting people off, weaving dangerously through traffic, and speeding around without his lights on, or as I saw recently a cop turning his emergency lights on only when he arrived at a clogged off ramp, forcing everyone to cramp dangerously to the side just so he could drive around them, rest assured your intuition is correct and he's just exercising his "right to rule."
