The media has been confirming this is the case too.

I have seen cops talking on the cell phone while driving numerous times,smoking in the vehicle and flicking the cigarette butt out the window,not wearing seat belts,not coming to a complete stop while entering a stop sign,not letting pedestrians cross when pedestrians are present....speeding in a school zone during school hours.
The worst case I've seen is,cops sitting at a traffic light late at night,does not want to wait for the light to change,the officer flashes his lights,runs the red light and turns his lights off when he reaches the other side.
I could not be bothered to report them,it won't make a difference anyways,the VPD is so corrupt,I'm pretty sure internal affairs is just as corrupt as the VPD,so nothing will get done.
How do the cops expect the citizens to obey the laws,when the people that inforce the laws don't follow them too.

Nothing worse than someone who constantly complains yet does nothing about it.
VPD is not as corrupt as you think. My roommate works with them all the time, there are lots of great cops, and a few bad ones. Report the bad ones and there will be less. Quote:

The officer is allowed to break the rules of the road when his lights and sirens are on.

He may, for example, be on his way to a call that requires a "silent running" approach, while he IS required to use his emergency lights when going through a red.
As has been pointed out many, many times, unless you are privy to the full circumstances of what you witness, you shouldn't be so quick to judge.

I got to deal with a cool cop friday night, I was drunk as shit so i don't remember much but he was cool. My friend got a shitty cop, kept giving him grief when it me and this other guy who were goin at it.

So how fast were you going, keeping in mind that they may have targeted your speed before you realized and hit the brakes? Are you telling us that you were not exceeding the posted limit/

i got an excessive speeding ticket last yr and disputed it but luckily it was just before the impoundment rule. however i will be paying the nose for it when it comes back.

Be a man and pay your ticket. If you can't afford it you'd better get a night job or something. Too many people wasting the court's time by disputing tickets that they're clearly guilty for.

I'm in Alberta, I can go pedal to the metal all day long
Not that I do anymore these days.... I used to rock an escort radar on the windshield, rip it from Calgary to Vancouver in 7 and a half hrs, and lived with a +25% insurance surcharge. Nowadays I keep my vehicles tinted dark all the way around, bump the beats and just glide through traffic nice and slow... why rush? It's not worth it anymore - all the odds are stacked against you. You might as well just chill out and enjoy the privilege of driving.
