I had the same thing happen to me only I was doing 52 in a 30, but he let me go because of my Veteran plate.
Flabbergasted!

" I noticed from your license plates that you are a veteran . . . what branch?"
"Army first, then Air Force"
"Did you retire?"
"Yessir"
Thank you for serving America, you are a Great American!

I told the truth to the officer, didn't think I was going 1 mph above 80 (which I consider safe on a divided 6 lane hwy with light traffic). That said, however, I would never question a LEO, because I trust them and greatly respect what they do for us.

Anybody who hides in the bushes to make a living is more of a skunk IMO. Broadcasting that you're a trooper doesn't make everybody warm and fuzzy. Get over yourself.

Now don't tell us that you wear lipstick too.

So in your mind it's O.K. to hide behind a keyboard and say stuff you'd never say to anyone's face?

Just got pulled over a few hours ago for 45 in a 35. The cop was a real a hole but let me go with a warning. I then realized it was the same cop that pulled me over for going 90 in a 40 back when I had my S2000. Luckily he didn't remember me.
