Who was being sensitive again? Not offended at all, simply trying to understand the logic of jealousy in this case. I have a ZL1 and a Z06. I can definitely say I've never been jealous of anyone I have ever stopped. Six over is a bit picky, but it is still speeding.

I know judges rule their courtrooms but I also never cared about them 'chastising' me. I don't work for the judge. Luckily, I have also never had to experience that in a courtroom. I was confident in the enforcement action I took in the cases that went to court from speeding to a quintuple murder.

As a 20 year Leo I have never heard of anyone getting a 6 mph speeding ticket. Unless it was reduced down from a higher speed. The Hyundai in front has nothing to do with you. We don't pull over the second vehicle because we can't catch the first vehicle either. We go after the fastest car. Radar is not vehicle specific the cop visually estimates the speed of each vehicle and confirms with the radar. Laser is totally different as it is vehicle specific. If you indeed got pulled over for 6 mph only I'm glad you got off of it that's ridiculous. Remember to always be polite and respectful and more than likely you will get a warning.

Oh for fnck's sakes!
Good God, we wouldn't want to make all those sensitive LEOs cry, now would we?

NOT sensitive or just too young to remember The Temptations?

SMILING FACES SOMETIMES (1971)

Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend.
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within.
Smiling faces, Smiling Faces, Sometimes they don't tell the truth.
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof.
The truth is in the eye 'cause the eyes don't lie, amen.
Remember, a smile is just a frown turned upside down my friend.
So, hear me when I'm saying
Smiling faces, Smiling Faces, Sometimes they don't tell the truth.
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof.
Beware. Beware of the handshake that hides the snake,
I'm tellin' you beware of the pat on the back it just might hold you back.
Jealousy, (Jealousy) misery, (misery) envy.
I tell you you can't see behind
Smiling faces,…

Well for those of us who are 20-something and drive a Vette, I guess we're screwed

I have had my Vette for ~3 years. Pulled over three times, got ticketed only once. The time I got ticketed was the time out of the three when I felt I least deserved it (unsafe lane change citation for changing lanes in front of a semi that I didn't want to get behind to kick up rocks at me - plenty of room between us). Not as lucky as you because my cop showed up, but thankfully I paid ~$250 and went to traffic school so it wouldn't be on my record. Count your blessings, even if you were only going 6mph over!

Born in 1979...but seen enough in my 17 years as an LEO. However, it seems you think you are an expert in the field. I'd suggest putting in an application.

While I have stopped people for going 6mph doing drug interdiction, I have only cited for 6 over so the driver didn't get points, I'm glad it got tossed. The only thing I can add, and not saying this occurred to you, is in 30 years of doing this and hearing what about the other cars, when you go past the cop, you have already been clocked. A large percentage of the time, there will be cars in front of the person being stopped, because they were speeding and caught up to them. Cops are human, some will write a ticket for not using a turn signal at 3am with no other traffic around, to me, it's bs, some stop people at 5 over, some 10, me 15 etc. Let's get off here and drive our cars!! Corvettes at Carlisle, what a great place to live I just love the.light of course

That's the attitude!
Thanx for proving my point.

The words of a person with no true response.

Here, in most parts lol SOCAL, a judge would throw out a ticket like that. I know because I got off 2 tickets that way: the officer pulled me over but let other cars doing the same thing I was go. We got Wild West crime out here. Too much to be worrying about stuff like this.

If they are dismissed, are there any other fees? And could you apply for those waived? Or have the police office pay for it.

There is a stretch of interstate that bypasses Richmond, Virginia, I-295. For those that travel I-95 north and south frequently, this has been a great relief from the previously congested, I-95 the travels through Petersburg and Richmond, Virginia. Unfortunately it does seem to many that travel this route, that the stretch from the southern end of the bypass North to the James River has become a "speed trap". The local Leo's patrol it diligently.

While our son was attending college in Maryland, he traveled the I-295 route often. I cautioned him frequently to be sure to follow the speed limit there as it seemed that vehicles with out of state tags would be targeted first.

One time he was traveling the route and driving with traffic in his Toyota Tacoma pickup. When he was pulled over for speeding, he asked the Officer why he was picked when all of the cars around him were driving the same speed. I thought the Officers response was precious, "Son, I guess it was just your lucky day."

He immediately received a number of letters from lawyers in the area offering to represent him in court and make the points go away. He took driving school on line and didn't get the points, but paid the fine and lawyers fees... about $300.

I just pointed out, with a smile on my face, "never assume if you are running with traffic (above the speed limit) that your safe!"

overtime for these guys typically, especially the guys that give a ticket at night. they will always come to the courthouse. The day guys, can be a mixed bag.
