I played with fire...

[BE Mike]

Those troopers down there show no mercy. I was with a leo friend in his car many years ago on the way to Louisville, he got pulled over down in that area and got a ticket.

What a story. Everyone knows that LEO's don't have any friends!

"Use good judgement.", they told me.
"How do I achieve good judgment?" I asked.
"Experience." they said.
"How does one get experience.?"I asked.




"Bad judgement." They explained.

Dude, cops don't get tickets...




Is that not a construction zone?

ISP? Do you still have your wallet?

This one did. It wasn't a construction zone where I was stopped, luckily. And he didn't get my wallet.

 

[Frank_N_Stein]

Good thing you were only 24 mph over.

He said I was doing 75-ish but wrote me for 74. Maybe because I haven't had a ticket in 22 years.

 

[Frank_N_Stein]

Seeing how the other half lives?
Seriously though, I stick to 5 over and never seem to get pulled over.... knock on wood....

I guess. I was late leaving to get to Dale Hollow and tried my luck. It was either the speed limit or 5 over the rest of the way down and back.

 

[Frank_N_Stein]

I thought you were supposed to wave your badge out the window?!

I guess I need retrained.

 

[Frank_N_Stein]

Wait for it...wait for it, ok now: You cops just think the laws are for everyone else, don't you! What no whining? You aren't suppose to admit your guilt, but tell a long sad story about how unfair it was to get the ticket, how rude the officer was and that he had it out for you from the beginning. Back to reality, though, ISP patrols that strip heavily and for good reason. It'll be a very good thing when the new bridge and all the exchanges are open (but then we'll have to pay tolls). I'm sure you know about it, but as suggested, I would try to get the diversion program. My wife did that and it worked out well. Just not getting the points on the license is a very good thing.

No whining here, I totally deserved it. And the worst part is my 11 year old daughter had been fussing at me about speeding before I was stopped.

 

[Frank_N_Stein]

You didn't talk to him, did you?

Nope, just printed the sovereign citizen paperwork out before leaving home and had it held up to the window.

 

[Frank_N_Stein]

This is why when I get caught speeding, I ALWAYS outrun the cops. And wave my gun out the window shooting into the air screaming "You can't catch me coppers!"

Had I not been with the family, it would have been on.

FYI, Clark County has an infraction diversion program: Welcome to the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney's Office: Biography

I've already received two letters from cohorts of yours offering to represent me for a "reasonable fee."

 

[hoosierdoc]

I was doing a bit more over than you here in FL and passed three cars hidden in an apparent search for speeders, got no response. You should drive in FL

that was three separate instance btw

 

[2old2bfast]

Good thing you weren't speeding in a patch of the new Indiana State flower! Construction barrels! They're popping up everywhere!

I75 Northbound, you would probably get a ticket if you did under 100mph as the slow lane travels faster then that...

 

[avboiler11]

I always smile when an Illinois or Georgia plate goes blowing by me on I65 doing 75+ from the river to Exit 9 (further north toward Henryville/19 now)...I usually see them pulled over 2-3 miles down the road.

 

[BE Mike]

Real question...What happens at 20 mph over the limit that doesn't happen at 19?

 

[funeralweb]

Heading TO Dale Hollow and only doing 74? I admire your restraint.

 

[indiucky]

...and got burnt. Speeding ticket for 74 in a 55 in Jeffersonville on the way to Dale Hollow. I should have known better, that stretch of 65 is always full of Troopers. On the plus side, no curbstomp received.

Sorry Frank...The locals know......

[padawan]

OH yeah. I usually ask the friendly police officer if he/she knows what pennies are made of? When they ask me what the answer is, I say "DIRTY ROTTEN COPPER!" andsuddenly they go back to write me a few extra tickets. I don't understand.

HA!

 

[Timjoebillybob]

Got it. So no half assery allowed.

Only full assery allowed.

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to take your pants off, run around in a circle, wave your arms, and yell "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!"

Wait, what? You're supposed to be wearing pants?

And the worst part is my 11 year old daughter had been fussing at me about speeding before I was stopped.

Same thing happened to my BIL, his son was telling him about his speed, half a mile or so later he got pulled over. And of course his son had to mention it while the officer was at the window. He said he was just muttering "shut up, shut up", and his son was going "But dad..."
