This was just a pissing contest. Also, I am honestly curious why the Sheriff wasn't running lights at least - he wouldn't likely have been pulled over to begin with and would've gotten to the scene earlier. Kinda like ambulances - they run their lights and sirens when they are not in a neighborhood, but turn off the siren when they enter. Sheriff could've turned the lights off when he was near the scene and avoided the delay. Don't get me wrong - he was right in all this, but he was a tad stupid coming in doing 80+ in a 55 zone without at least emergency lights.
I wish the local PD and the Sheriff's office would've settled it with one of those face-slapping contests. It's not assault if they consent, and nobody gets hurt enough that they have to go to the hospital. It will however make them not want to have to do it again...
