I think my last speeding ticket was from a good cop,
just doing his job.
We didn't say anything to each other, once he got back in the cruiser he
knew I'd had two tickets in the last year, and brought out #3. He
explained it, I signed it, and his last words were: "And sir... Please
slow down." He actually sounded a little concerned. Better than Ticket #2
-- they were running a program called `Back To Basics' where they
mass-ticket speeders in a given area... the guy though I was evading, but
I never even saw them pulling RADAR until I saw a cop car in the rear-view
mirror. When he got to my car, he had an attitude: "So you tried your best
to get away..." (I had been staring at a gravel road directly in front of
me with no idea where it went... for a full minute and a half.)
You are all amateurs. Next time you get a speeding ticket, shoot a
message over to me and I'll give you all the resources you need to fight
it.
If you're in California, I can help you directly, as I have more
experience with this rather retarded part of the law than I care to admit.
