Breaking News

I was just heading into Salisbury from my home when I got onto Rt. 50. I was making the U-Turn to head East when I saw what I thought at first was a Police Vehicle. It was heading at a high rate of speed so I quickly pulled onto Rt. 50 and accelerated, after noticing it was a Fire Chief's Car.

Since I'm such an expert as speed, I can easily say they were going 75 mph. When they turned onto Business Rt. 50 they slowed down to 65 in a 50 zone. I finally caught up with them at the light at Nanticoke Road where they were turning left and I realized it was Deputy Chief Gordy and Chief See in the vehicle. Don't think for a second they weren't sh!tting their pants when they saw me pull up beside them.

My camera was in the back seat and I couldn't reach it. As I'm confident many of you will come on here and challenge what I'm saying and all I can tell you is, I'm not lying and I'm not exaggerating.

There were no emergency lights on this vehicle while they were driving down the road. All I can tell you from here on out is, keep your eyes on their Crown Victoria's because I doubt very seriously they're going to slow down just because of me.

This happened at 11:30 am.

Chief See, Deputy Chief Gordy, "YOU'VE BEEN BLOGGED!"

Is there still such a thing as an citizen's arrest?

joe albero said...

Yeah but you have to break the law just to catch them first. They were too close to Salisbury to waste a call to the Sheriff's Department.

With all these tall tales, I can't decide if you're Baron Münchhausen or Walter Mitty!

Yes Joe, you were right. I do challenge the allegations that they were going above the speed limit.

I have to ask Joe. At what speeds where you going in order to catch up with them.

They were stuck at a fairly long traffic light turning left onto Nanticoke Road. That's how I caught up to them. If you've ever been stuck making a left turn there heading east and turning north onto Nanticoke Road you'd understand what I'm talking about.

Joe, you will get yours trust me, and I hope it's me. You keep chasing other vehicles, thats not your job, and don't even think we are dumb enough to think your don't speed when you do. If I get you, don't ask for any break, and I hope you post the ticket on your blog.

It would apperar all MARKED crown vics more times than not go over the speed limit. We have seen unmarked and marked police cars go through our school zone in excess of 50 to 60 or more with no lights on. But if you ask them to come help control the speed in your community, they think you are an idiot for asking. start a blog about that.

joe albero said...

That would be called "profiling" and thank you for that comment. Of course you're too big a pussy to use your name while you make those threats but while you make such a threat it would have been better just to nail me, (if you could) than to threaten me where I could show that to a Judge now and get away with a local speeding ticket. Keep up the good work Good Ol' Boy.

There are occasions where you have to get there without lights and sirens and some occasions where your supervisor will not let you go but you feel compelled to go faster anyway (then you take all the risk in your own hands), it is hard to slow down sometimes when you have been rushing to all the calls over and over and forget to calm down. This occurs more in Salisbury because of their very restrictive lights and siren policy. And, yes there are those who just drive fast, as most of the people driving today do. No excuse for it, just explaining so you are more informed.

you will see a lot more of that Joe.
With the gas prices so high they
do their grocery shopping around 11:00am . I guess they didn't
want the icecream to melt.

joe albero said...

As See was in "plain clothes" I was just informed he's been on vacation all wek. So there was no emergency and no rush to be driving so fast.

Come on Folks, they think their untouchable and you know what, maybe they are, I don't know.

However, today, they've been touched and they knew they were snagged!

Anonymous said...

What school did you go to, to be certified in speeding Joe. I thought it takes training for that. I mean I am radar certified and you have to qualified as an expert to make an arrest. I think you think you have more power than you do. You are the one profiling, and in court if Davis gets it, I think you are going down. I would leave the "Hot Pursuits" alone Joe, stick with what you do best, typing on a keyboard and telling people they have bad grammar.

TOO BAD THAT CAMERA WAS IN THE BACK. THAT WOULD'VE BEEN THE "MILLION DOLLAR POSE". THOSE FACES....I CAN SEE THE HEADLINES NOW!

Yes, Joe. But they will face no consequences, so what do they care?

Sorry state of affairs.

I have wittnesed one time in salisbury, two m.s.p. cars trying to move people out of the way coming to mill street, light flashing,sirens a blowing as hard as they could, yea they moved cars alright. They got so nervous they pulled out into rt. 50 into traffic and caused an accident right there. well one had to stay there with that accident,unreal!

Anonymous said...

WHO CARES!!! I go 75 MPH down the major roads around here all the time. I never get a ticket. The speed laws are out of date with modern vehicle technology.

maybe you should do some teaching of speed awareness to your wayward son instead of bothering other good people.

Must be a redneck volunteer farmin as well if it is even a cop. I can tell by the poor grammar.

With threats like that I am sure he is in the same category as the one from the WCSO that molested children. Same breed.

If Joe really did see him, which I believe he did, then you are the dumb ass.

Speaking of dumb ass it is liar not lair!!

Anonymous said...

2:38 WRONG, if it warrants speed, other than a case where a suspect may not nned to hear the siren, there is no excuse for a responce without all emergency equipment. The law also does not allow for that type of responce.

Anonymous said...

Why don't you ask your moles then and see if I am lying.Then show me the proof that I am wrong and that they were speeding.

I just can't see a threat of any type from this statement. It only proves that local law enforcement knows who he is and will not tolerate these type of situations if one of them witnesses this type of situation. He antics on the roadways are just as dangerous if not more dangerous than the individuals he tailgates. Didn't your parents ever teach you two wrongs don't make a right? Joe is just as guilty.

joe albero said...

Actually, it's See & Gordy who have the burdon of proof. I saw their faces in the vehicle.

LIVE, from just outside old Station 16. Come on out Boys, or are you scared?

joe albero said...

I can see all those pansie a$$holes with their noses, lips and faces on every window around the station right now. In two minutes they'll all be talking bad like they were going to kick my a$$. ROTFLMAO, Idiots!

Joe, the chief spent most of the week in D.C. meeting with politicions in an effort to get grant money. In case you're not aware Salisbury continues being denied on grant request. Maybe just maybe we will get lucky this year.

ROTFLMAO! You dumb M/F'ers! I'll bet you're pissed because someone made you pull out the Windex and clean the nasty snot off the windows.

Just know we will be making a JOKE out of this for the next few days! Thanks for the laughs and images in our minds.

You really need to do something with those man boobies you got.When you walk they jiggle the windows on the old station.

I want you Idiots to think about this ALL NIGHT. Delmar, Hebron, Mardella, Parsonsburg, Pittsville, Willards, Powellville, Berlin and ESPECIALLY Ocean City will be looking at this post, the comments, the image of your faces stuck to those wondows and laughing their asses off knowing that some pussy/pussies from inside old Station 16 were at the windows scared to death looking out to see if Big Bad Joe was outside.

OMG, that's just too funny!

Snot on the window,Sorry Joe but your just not that attractive..

I'll add, once again, See & Gordy are home. Perhaps that's where they were returning from? Nevertheless, they were on the road and I saw their faces in the vehicle. Nice try again little boys.

I should add, to those Idiots who are having a hard time understanding WHY See & Gordy can't get Grant Money, because they're Idiots, not worthy of their positions. Guess what boys and girls? I would have fired their asses long ago, the first year they came back from DC with no money. They're USELESS, do you get it, USELESS! Thanks for coming public and proving my point, once again!

Enough with the p!ssing match! The bottom line is this: If the laws governing the use of lights and/or siren at speeds in excess of 10 mph OVER the posted speed limits are so lax, they need to be changed, NOW! Texas and other states finally wised up and made it illegal for police/state troopers/emergency vehicles to run without at least having lights on if they go more than 10 over posted. Why did they do this? DEATHS caused by speeding police. I have personal experience of knowing 3 people, 2 in one accident and one in another, that were killed this way. And the courts found against the police!

seems like we have 12 year olds in station 16 at least that is what their maturity level seems....

I think a story about speeding police would be most informative.

Tonight, I almost got t-boned by an MSP in Trappe. They were making a U-turn. Blew by my car doing about 75+ a few minutes later. No lights during the whole thing.

Two weeks ago, just before Cambridge, an MSP passed me at about 90 mph. I was in the right lane, and the left lane was empty. The SOB got so close to my car while changing lanes that I couldn't even see their headlights anymore. Once again, no lights.

It also seems like cops are always talking on their cell phones while driving, too. I would have liked to see the cops try to enforce that potential "no cell phone" law given that they are some of the worst offenders.

You morons, this post is about a volunteer chief speeding in a city owned vehicle while the paid fire chief condones his actions. This has nothing to do about the MSP, save that for another post. Please stay on track and get to the bottom of this.

Too bad Joe you chose not to post our message from one of the police officers on the Safety Board for the Shore. It's hard to share the truth especially when you are wrong.- just human nature.Hope you comprehended the message and friendly advice.We aren't giving out warnings now until our new scan system is implemented- only tickets.Have a good day.

Get your eyes examined. You are either going blind or you have been drinking with Mayor Tilghman. Maybe you beat up on Barrie so she will take notice of you.She's married and Joe, you know better than to chase married women.
