5/26/2009 An Accomack County Sheriff's Deputy was involved in a high-speed chase.
But in this case he wasn't the one chasing down a speeding driver, instead he was the target of the chase.
A driver trails a speeding Accomack County Sheriff's deputy on Route 13.
On the clip, the driver says "I got him man, I'm going to catch up to him at a 100."
The Accomack County Sheriff admits Deputy Jason Campbell was topping speeds well over the posted 55 miles per hour speed limit.
Campbell received disciplinary action for violating policy.
The Sheriff says whenever a deputy is answering a call or driving at high speeds the siren should be on and the lights should be flashing, two things the deputy didn't do at the time.
The role-reversal car chase is garnering plenty of attention on the web and is fostering debate in the county as to what's expected of its law enforcement.
Burke Landon from Temperanceville said, "There's a posted speed limit.
They should be going the same as everyone else. Just because they're sitting in a police car given them no right to drive faster than the speed limit."
"You've got your young cops which wanna make a name for themselves," said Susan M. from Parksley.
"Police have a job to do and he was doing his job," said Harvey Pool from Accomack County.
Campbell has been working at the Accomack County Sheriff's office since January.
The Sheriff says the rookie deputy "a young officer, but a good one" but wouldn't say what specific disciplinary actions were taken against him.
