Reminder of the previous message
It remembers me: while driving in France, a sportscar pass us at a very high speed, then shortly afterwards I slow down to let pass a police car coming out of its hideout, which pursuits the speeding car (I do not remember which car model it was, but the acceleration was impressive). A little further we find both stopped on the site of the road. Unfortunately my dashcam was off at that moment 
to continue on the tickets : there was a place i used to work about 10 years ago and the only way to reach it ( for me ) was by the service lane of the highway ( i could used another road but it would have been an useless detour ) which was always jammed. Some people were driving on the roadside to pass everybody, or cutting people to gain access to the roadside and the new arrivants were often welcomed by a white Crown Vic with flashing lights...
( I went on this roadside only twice , with my Tempo once to check an exhaust clip or something like this and once after being rear-ended by a F-350, still wondering how i got so little damage , it was a low speed impact and the truck had fixations for a snow plow which touched the bumper. when i drove off after i still was mad and nearly floored it on the roadside, there was a police car so i merged in the correct lane. maybe he saw me and the F-350 so i got lucky to be ticket-free...

This video reminds me of a Ford Mustang cutting a bunch of other vehicles on a boulevard . I wasn't one of the cut ones but i saw him changing lanes again and again right in front of other drivers.... then he made it to a Dodge Charger which had to brake a little bit hard to avoid the collision as the light turned red........ yeah, you all guessed it, the Charger was an unmarked police car....

Remember, if you want to do an illegal move on the road, check out for the cars with the lights on top first..

Something like that I can see every few days in front of my office in the town of Dortmund. There is a crossing, where an U-turn is forbidden (btw.: when this sign
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Zeichen_272,_StVO_1992.svg
was introduced in Germany in 1992, if was one of the first).
But many people are turning there, as it's the way to the stadium and the large event hall Westfalenhallen.
When the town council needs money -so always, Dortmund is overindepted-, they place some cops on the other side, hidden behind some trees, for picking them out. It's just all for money-making...

In the continuation of the "instant justice" video posted by Baube on precious page, this evening while I was waiting at a red light a Volvo wagon wants to pass the queue of cars waiting... it is immediately followed by a police car that was just there
Just a pic, the video has not much interest:

after a crash, the Lada goes park itself gently. Does the Tesla even do that?

we'll have to wait for a video of a crashed Tesla..... or try to convince an owner to crash his to prove that theory..

kind of funny to see policeman shifting gears when you're not used to see this...
there was a similar ( at least to me, i don't know Peugeot well ) white car when the police was in the left lane.. for a second i thought the police went ahead..

For those who never saw it, here is the 1972 Michelin/Citroën DS '1000-Pattes' (Centipede in French) in action:

10+1 wheels, 9 t (± 20,000 lbs), two 5.7l Chevrolet V-8s, 170 km/h (105 mph)... Who said utilitarian vehicles were boring?

Not fully sure... but something tells me they like trucking...
