Run in with State Patrol!

So I just got off shift at 3:00am my time and just worked a 13 hour day in 100% Humidity and 90+ degree heat and was in a hurry to get home. Cruising jamming out to Sevendust doing about 70 mph in a 55 mph highway when I see what appears to be a LEO approaching me (Headed towards me) As soon as he passed I saw his brake lights and him start to turn around so I just pulled my car over, turned on the hazards, shut the car off, turned my interior light on to give him a better view into the car. He approached and told me I must have did this once or twice :lol: I tell him I use to be an MP and know the drill :lol: We shot the shit since I'm in Private Security and he let me rock out once my info cleared :D Nice guy, and very thankful he let me go because that ticket wouldn't have been very cheap and added insurance premiums. Usually State Troopers will ticket everyone around these parts, even off duty cops but he must not have been in a ticket mood tonight :notworthy: So there you have it, my little story!

State Patrol is the only one that ever pulles me over. In My Truck= "did you know your window tint is two dark" Camaro= "you need to put your front tag on, oh and your windows look very dark" GTP= your exhaust is very loud and you need your front tag. Do these guys have anything better to do? I'm from WI also.

I'm from WI also and state patrol did same for me with my car. Told me my tint was too dark and wanted to know why I had no front plate. Gave me a warning though for going 10 over and then said "nice car" as he walked away.

About the same here.

Last time I got tagged for 20-25 over it was $150. Mandatory court date though. Was rediculous. No way in hell that Saturn got to 77MPH.

My last potential run in was when my cat back fell off on the Maine Turnpike...

There I was about 90 miles from home, exhaust pieces all over, still wearing my fire jacket, decals and stickers all over the car and up behind me comes a Trooper...

I am fortunate I have gray hair because he basically stood there and laughed his butt off and then offered to make a call for me if I needed help. I declined but did request that he let his fellow officers know that I was heading North and to cut me some slack for having open headers on the street. ;)

My ticket was in 2007.

88 in a 65 (23 over)
$201 fine ($176 for the speeding, $25 for more than 1 moving violation in 6 months)

Yes in the camero. Yes it was running. Yes it managed to go that fast, somehow.

Years ago when I was in the Maro and got hit for 80 mph in a 55 mph (I got that dropped in court after fighting it :yay: ) That ticket was $340 if my memory serves me correctly. WI must have some expensive ass tickets :dunno:

I never intended to start bitching :yup: I was very happy with the Officer, only thing I regret is not getting his name and badge number to praise him to his superiors. He was the nicest LEO I've ran into since I've been out of the service.

That's funny. I don't know if that was intentional or not. Seems almost every ticket I've gotten they've written Camero on the ticket.

:lmao:

As if the badge that says "Camaro is that friggin hard to read. The one that pisses me off every time is when people list their "Camero" for sale. I see it all the time. You own the car and you don't know how to spell it??? :brick2:

I actually had a cop let me go with a verbal warning when he caught me doing 95 in a 55 :) Of course, that was many years ago. With all the 'tickets = income' mentality most jurisdictions have, I doubt that will ever happen again.

But $1000?? WTF?? Even with the new 'super speeder' laws here that automatically add $200 to any ticket for over 85 mph that would only be like a $400-500 ticket.

The super speeder law is frickin lame too. It goes strictly by speed and doesn't take speed limit into consideration. In some parts of Atlanta the highway speed limit is 55, 65, or 70. So you will get the extra $200 for doing 30 mph over in the 55 zone, but for only doing 15 over in the 70 zone. And 15 over aint that fast. That's usually 'the flow of traffic' around here.

Its not the ticket that bothers me. I would pay a $1000 ticket with my eyes closed. Its the damn insurance premiums that fuck you over when your 17 and your first car is a Trans Am.
