Default Got Pulled Over Last Night!

And here is the kicker, i was going 65 in a 60. I live in indiana and was on US 24 driving with the girlfreind doing 65, i saw the state boy and had the crusie set at 65.Then my bel 995 went nuts, my g/f said he is going to get you i said im not speeding that fast, Then i saw him hit his breaks and here he comes. Funny thing is the blazer behind me was going faster then me because he got on my butt fast as he was clocking. State boy wrote me a warning for exseccive speed
told me to slow down. after i left i went around a curve and 2 more sitting there radarin , so i jus waved at them and smiled

Next time it happens, say "Here you go State boy" when you hand him your paperwork...Then come back and let us know what happened

I don't know anyone that drives that slow on SR24. If you drive 70 they leave you alone.

I like this idea!!

I agree you're lucky you got a warning... 64 and he would have let you go by... ?? When he saw your radar detector you're lucky he didn't have you locked in.. ticket for sure then...

OR..Was he was just checking out your car.. or your GF? OR YOU? Lol...

Since you "waved" at the other two, did you do it in a nice way or? NO wonder he stopped you.. you probably "waved" at him some other time!!


Anytime a cop stops you when you're speeding and you only get a warning, consider yourself LUCKY!!!

Must have been a slow night. I usually go about 5 miles over and I haven't had any problems, but then again - not familiar with 24..

Good thing about the warning.. Just caused you some inconvenience is all..

I think the emoticon should have gone after "exseccive" and not speed.
Seriously, I would consider myself lucky and gone the speed limit. At least for the rest of the night!

What a waste with all the crazy things going on he stops you and your only 5mph over, 7 or more would be a different story.

Something like that is usually someone looking for probable cause. "Ya just never know what you might find after the stop" kinda thing. That 5mph thing is chicken s**t. Some "State Boys" are "Richard Heads" too.
Most real police won't stop for 5.
