The NJ State Police it would seem DO need a policy against stupidity

Because without a written policy troopers could be free to do anything they want to apparently. The New Jersey State Police have instituted a policy wherein NO MORE official state police escort cars can be used for speeding exotic supercars without tough oversight. Official escorts have pretty much gone the way of the dodo if the attorney general's office is to be believed. Just how scattered was the old 'policy'? Here ya go:

The new document, five pages long as opposed to the two-page previous version, states that all requests for escorts must now be approved by three supervisors, including two top commanders, and those requests will be reviewed on a quarterly basis by the Attorney General’s Office.

Under the previous policy, requests were supposed to be approved by one high-ranking officer. But after the newspaper reports, Fuentes said that, in fact, responsibility for approving escorts rested with troopers at the local level.

So just like the guy who sells cars and when you ask him about a deal says he IS the manager, the local troopers were left alone to make their best judgement call. Until of course those judgement calls became an embarrassment. 

"...The policy’s strongest message of all is right on page one: "Public safety is paramount."

Yes. We'll just see about that
