I'm going down Hwy. 280 (55 mph limit) at about 93 mph and a real jerk of a trooper (about 24). I didn't realize I going 93mph because it was a straight road and I was zoned out. Anyway the trooper practically has his gun out when he gets to the car and demands I get out and then he proceeds to search me!!!!! He didn't even ask for insurance papers. After that he starts threathing to take me to jail and puts me in the squad car. Soon he lets me go and thinks he has a citation in the bag but doesn't realize that I know someone in the ticket office that can wipe everything clean (insurance and money). So I guess the jokes on him!!! I wrote this in order to see if anyone else had this kind of experience.

 

next time watch your speed......

 

just to let you know, this will get deleted soon.. so don't go looking for it later....

 

Yeah I forget to send it to the right forum.

 

Please use cruise control IF you have no control or if you ZONE OUT again. 93mph is REALLY fast, there's no excuse for it. Not only you could have hurt yourself, but you could have hurt others. Please don't do this again.

PS- State troopers do not suck, they're doing a great job on keeping a-hole drivers off the highway. Actually, you should be very happy that the state trooper was "nice" to you for not arresting you. You were very close to doing 100mph, which is a guranteed ride downtown to the cells.

 

What I meant by zoning out was that I didn't realize the pressure being applied to my pedal. I noticed other cars just not in a concentrated way. And this State Trooper really was being a total jerk-off.

 

call the department for unfair treatment.. speed in no way makes you automatically a killer.. there was uncalled for.. the is my $.02

 

Yeah, really, I mean, you were only 39 OVER!!! Are you crazy? He probably thought you were drunk or running or something, going 93 in a 55. I'm sorry, but it's not terribly surprising he would treat you like that before being sure about your situation. In some states, you would have been arrested for being like 25 over, let alone 39. And I wouldn't be so sure and cocky about your connections; that's a rather large ticket and I don't think this buddy of yours is going to risk being fired for committing some kind of fraud, because this cop is NOT going to forget about you any time soon. Hopefully, the joke ends up being on you so you learn your fregan lesson. I've coughed up $240 recently for speeding tickets, and now I'm careful. But even when I was speeding, it wasn't by 39mph. Now somebody delete this thread.

EDIT: I almost forgot something. You mention how he was an arrogant cop because he is young (about 24). Interesting. According to your info, you are four years YOUNGER than him, so who are you to talk about being an arrogant, young *****?
