He should have his BLET cert revoke so he can't work any where else.

I stand corrected !! Just saw a longer video on another site that shows the trooper speeding like a fool into oncoming traffic. Evidently the lanes weren't closed at that time. The trooper is on administrative leave. Hope he loses his job.

I think it was dateline a few years ago that did an investigation on NCSHP and their driving. They had numerous cases caught on video of troopers speeding for no reason. The best was one they followed and he pulled into the state trooper academy. He was running 80 through neighborhoods. When he got out of the vehicle, his shirt had "driving instructor" on the back. He was an instructor at the academy.

What is with the NCSHP's Troopers? Just a coupla years ago, one was busted on US421 in Watauga County for doing 105 in a 55 with no lights or siren.

Looks like the troopers closed the road to get these fools, very glad they got them.

I just thought the irony was too delicious not to post! The cop was speeding and driving recklessly... to help catch people that were speeding and driving recklessly.

Shocking viewer video shows a state trooper flying down Highway 321 in Catawba County going the wrong way into oncoming traffic.

The witness told Channel 9 that the trooper was heading to a major street racing bust.

WSOC-TV Channel 9 Charlotte first reported about the street racing arrests at 11 p.m. Sunday.

The state trooper got off the River Road exit crossed this bridge and then started heading south in the northbound lanes.

Dave Faherty spoke to the woman who recorded the video, and she is outraged by the incredibly dangerous maneuver.

"Just freaked out,” Carisa Lynn said. “It was crazy. It was very dangerous."

State troopers said they received numerous calls of the drivers endangering others along the four-lane highway but Lynn believes the state trooper put more people at risk.

"Street racing isn't what you should be doing, but it was more reckless in my opinion of the police officer to be driving the way he was driving, in general, to pull over some people racing,” Lynn said.

Channel 9 has learned there were as many as 10 BMWs involved in the traffic stop. The Highway Patrol has impounded five of those vehicles.

The charges include pre-arranged speed racing, careless and reckless driving and impeding traffic.
