Naughty Police

When I was small living at my grandparent's we used to hear police, sirens going out the main drag nearly every day about the same time in the afternoon. Police sirens nearly every day. We thought it quite weird. Come to find out there was a bar on down the main street about a mile where the police hung out after their workday. They utilized their sirens to let them go faster on the street to get to a nice cold beer quicker I guess.

@celticeagle The sirens should only be used in times of emergency.

Compared to what police are like in Latvia where they still incorporate Soviet mannarisms I would rather take the sirens,
