Had the cop conducted a search of his car he would have found a cut up body in garbage bags in the backseat.
That's why a man should always drive safely after robbing a bank.

It's a small price to pay not to ruin someone else's life.
When I run red lights, I do so when I'm 100% sure it is safe. I've been hit by a car 3 times so far and each time I had green light and right of way. I saw car slowing down, but it wasn't because they even noticed me - back on gass -bam! For me it turns out it is safer going on red lights when I'm sure there's no cars that can get to me. What do you say about that?!
It would be nice if all the people drove safely and respected the law. Since that is not the case and I can't change the world, I do what gives me less hassle (but lets me sleep at night). That's why I keep running red lights, going wrong way in one way streets (also when there is no traffic), using grass, roads, parking lots as shortcuts etc. Living on the edge!
