Re: What is it with the cops? (Larry82)
My wife was cruisin on the interstate near hear and noticed herself comming up on a unmarked patroll car. He was doing the posted 65mph. She was in the fast lane and he in the slow. She hung there for a bit untill traffic began building up behind and tailgating her. To get out of this dangerous situation she decided to slowly inch beyond the patroll car and switch to the slow lane to get traffic off her rear. Low and behold she got pulled over. Get this...67 in a 65. No bull. Shes attractive I must say and cant believe how she actually came away with a ticket. She went to court and he did show. The judge was disgusted with the waste of the courts time and threw the case out. In yur face dude!!! We do respect the law and its lawmen but this was quite rediculous. Dont you think?

Re: What is it with the cops? (Jvette73)
I've been pulled over twice in the last 3 years. The first time I was doing 110 before I slowed down the second was 92 in a 70. The first cop asked me if I knew what was I doing and I told him the semi-truth. That I hardly get to drive her and since there where no cars around on the highway I decided to punch it, but I did slow down to the speed limit as soon as car became visible. He walked back to his car then returned to me and asked me what she got in'er :D The second I was on my way to Naples through alligator alley the cop stopped me for doing 92 in a 70. I argued with her on that one because I knew I was speeding but I was doing 80 according to my speedo, later on I found out it was off,...way off. Anyway she just checked out my papers and asked my what I was up to while down there and she game me her number. She was cute so I called her...

Said he needed to check me out.. came back from his car and said I was "clean" Then, get this, asked me what my top end was, I simply replied, nithng over 65 mph.... then he gave ne a seat belt ticket.... Go Figure!
