Was this really you Wakko?

KEWASKUM, Wis. (AP) - Police Chief Richard Knoebel says he wasn't about to take the easy way out when he accidentally drove past a stopped school bus with its emergency lights flashing. For violating traffic laws, Knoebel wrote himself a ticket for $235, docked himself four points on his driving record and paid the fine the next day. It happened in September but didn't make news until after the fine appeared in court records and was reported by a West Bend newspaper. Knoebel says he doesn't mind getting the belated attention, if it serves to raise awareness. "If it brings notice to people that they should be stopping for school buses, I don't mind the notoriety," he said. He said he was on patrol on four-lane U.S. 45 when he was distracted by a stopped dump truck. He saw a car coming from behind and thought it might hit the truck, so he moved to pass the truck before he saw the stopped school bus in the far lane. He said he didn't realize he had passed the bus until it was too late.

What a dumb ass. I know about him. I used to live in Kewaskum, and only live 5 miles from there now. It's not the first stupid thing he has done It's only a town of about 3,500 people.

I haven't seen much of Wakko lately. Maybe he arrested himself.

If that were me, I'd have given myself an employee discount on the fines.

Id' have made myself promise not to do it again and let myself off with a warning.

A very noble and right thing to do in my opinion.  Just think of the consequences though if a child had been crossing at the same time.  He was very lucky no one was injured or worse.
