Pulled over....

[ChgrSteve67]

I picked up my trailer today at my Uncles house and got pulled over while doing 62 in a 65.

I guess its 55 if you have a trailer so the motor cycle cop wrote me up for 68 in a 55 just to maximize his time and effort.

I told him I just finished the trailer and this is the first time its been on the road.
He said he would be right back and came back with a ticket.

No leanency or warnings with the CHP in CA.

Will be interesting to see what this ticket is going to cost me.

ummmm?!?!?! i love that you were doing 62 in a 65!!! the last i checked that was UNDER the speed limit!!! (was he an extra on THE MOVIE SUPER TROOPERS?!?!? LMAO)
and i also love how he fCALCULATED a new MPH to give you a ticket!?!?! WTF!!!??? damn bro.. that sucks!!
sorrrry but even us cops don't like the douchebag cops!! we have no choice.. we have to work with them!!
if it's not too much of a hastle... (taking off work & distance) i tell everyone GO FIGHT IT!!!! ya never know.. maybe the jerkoff cop won't show up, or ALOT of times the prosecutor will downgrade your ticket... if you plead guilty.....

Here is a good traffic stop story, you Washington guys will know the areas.

In 2003 i had been laid of from Microsoft, so i took a job with contactor, working up at Whidbey Island NAS.  I lived in Bothell, about a 60 mile drive each way, we were imaging 50,000 computers for all the Navy base's in the area.  I worked 2nd shift 3:30 to 12 am.

I took the shortcut through Mt Vernon through Deception Pass and over to the base.

The last night we had a party, food and booze.  I had 3 or 4 Tequila shots and some tacos, so i wasnt actually drinking on a empty stomach.

For those that dont know, Mt Vernon is a little town, with farmland around it, speed limit is 55, but it goes right down to 25 when you hit the town.

I was driving home, I had a PT Cruiser back then, by now it was 1 in the morning or so, i just want to get home. I hit the town and didnt slow down, until a cop pulls out and makes a left turn in front of me, then i look and i am doing 65, in a 25.  OOPS.

He follows me, without pulling me over, there is a bridge over the Skagit River, then a light on the other side.  Crossing the bridge, i see another cop pulling out and stopping at the light, Great.

So i stop behind the cop, and the other cop stops behind me, the suspence is killing me, just do something already.

The light turns green, and they both sit there still, Great.  The guy behind me puts on his lights and the guy in front pulls into a parking lot, i follow, and the guy behind follows too.  The one guys sits there, and the other guy comes up,

"Whats the hurry"  "Know how fast you were going"

No, "WHAT, You werre doing 67 MPH in a 25, Whats the problem"?  He's shining his light in my face seeing if i was high or anything. 

"I just want to get home"  "Where have you been"? the bar"  I told him what we had been doing, and he calmed down a bit,

He gets his breathalizer out, "Here, blow in this for me"  Oh, oh.

I blow in it, it didnt do anything and he didnt say anything after.  He shines his light in my face again, you sure your ok?  Yeah, just tired.

"get out of the car for me"  Oh, Oh.  "Stand in front of the car, arms out, touch your nose"  I do

'count from 10 to 1 backwards"  I do.  "walk that line over there, heel to to"  I do

Hes really trying to find a reason to keep me.  "Where do you live"  Bothell

"You know you can stay in this lot here over night if you want"  Nah, i just want to get home.

"You sure your ok?"  Yeah, Hes shining his light in my eyes this whole time.  Yeah.

Hes thinking real hard, he waves at his buddy that has been sitting across the lot, and he takes off.

"Let me see your id"  Great, after all this.  He tells me to stay there, and goes to his car for 10 min, comes back.  Ok, you sure you can drive ok?"  Yeah,   "OK"  Pull over if you feel you need to"  He hands me my licence, "Watch your Speed"  And he lets me go.

Getting on the freeway though, i pass his buddy on the side of the road and he follows me for a few miles.  WHEW.

Long post, sorry
