The Georgia State Patrol has fired Trooper Anthony Scott following a crash that killed two teens and sent two others to the hospital. Scott was doing 90 in a 55 mph zone when his cruiser struck another vehicle. Scott's lights and siren were not on, and he was not heading to an emergency. Scott had previously been disciplined for two other crashes since joining the agency in 2011.

For normal people I'm sure terms like "manslaughter" and "depraved indifference" and "prison" would be involved.
If you want to break the law legally become a police officer or politician.
I saw a policeman drive straight through red lights all the way down a major street. No lights, must have been drunk. Seriously if ur a cop and the lights are there you turn them on and go through the red so everyone can see you do it (makes the people think that ur going to arrest someone).
