I read the recent letter that was critical of an officer who drove at a high rate of speed on Huiet Road before stopping in a recreation area and exiting his patrol car.

I don't have any inside information about the reason for the officer's actions, but the description of the incident would be consistent with receiving a report of illegal activity in that area and using a silent approach so that suspects would not flee before the officer's arrival.

Let's be considerate of our law enforcement officers and not impute bad motives to their actions when we don't have all the facts.
