The court said that speeding was only acceptable in "cases of emergency," such as a danger to someone's life or to prevent a crime. [UPI]

He's a cop who pulled over the defendant's husband and son, who were going 100 mph in a 50 mph speed zone in their Lotus, attempting to street race with a Corvette. The defendant's wife decided to make trouble for the cop, and filed a complaint against him for "mistreating" her son because he is Hispanic; the cop is suing the woman, claiming the complaint is frivolous, and damaging to his employment record. Judge Judy totally agrees. Listen to the lashing she gives the defendant, her husband, whom JJ refers to as "Mr. Idiot", and their son.
