Yeah I write myself a ticket befor I leave the house. Joined up with the Richland County Sheriff's Department right after I retired with 20 years from the United States Air Force. Been with the Sheriff's Department 18 years this month. That was one of our new patrol cars, mine is a unmarked 2013 Chevy Impala with police package, so basically a SS.
