Thread: I dont like state police...theyre out to get me.

I got a ticket. On a road thats supposed to be a 65. Appearantly its not though. Its a workzone. When there's no cones or people or equipment its a 55 workzone...unmarked i may add. I got clocked going 70....oopsies. dont remember going quite that fast. oh well.
So which police force is out to get you?...because town police let me go and the New York state troopers have pulled me over three out of the four times, and given me 2 tickets and a warning. They hate me.

The state police in Iowa and Ohio are on my shitlist. I made it from Connecticut to California doing 90 without a problem. But on the way back I got clocked twice in one day.

Actually, the Iowa guy was nice. He let me off with a warning for doing 85 in a 65. But he asked a lot of questions, which means I had to make up a lot of answers: not my forte. I thought it was funny that I had to follow him back to his cruiser and get in while he ran my info. I was afraid he would...ahem...proposition me.... But, alas, he didn't. Have I no faith in the common decency of Man?

The Ohio bastard ticketed me. How dare he?

Moral of the story? Driving cross country is just a crap shoot.

P.S.- Connecticut staties can't touch me because my brother is one of them. Yay.

Driven down the back roads to Florida for my sisters wedding, yes we drove there, from newYork, what a waste of a weekend. Anyway, keeping up with traffic, a good 2 car distances from the truck in front of us, doing 80 in a 45, pulled over by the South Carolina state police, 800 dollar ticket!! Got it reduced to like a decently reasonable amount tho...don't remeber how much, it was a few years back.

I think the real moral here is: obey the speed limit. But I know what you mean. Police can be real asses. They're such hypocrites too, I have never seen a cop car going the speed limit.

Actually for any interested, which i know you are. I live about ten minutes from Oriskany. In this town is a cop that goes by the name Callahan. He actually has been seen on many occasions, and by me personally, pulling over other Police for speeding. I kid you not! He pulls over everyone not obeying the law. Hes a town cop, but he has pulled over Sheriffs, State troopers, the police from surrounding towns...its hilarious to see him walk over to the other car and start lectureing them!! I think he recently retired though.

Actually i did admit to going 67 or so....i got the ticket for going 70..my speedo is off...in a 55 work zone.

By the way there were no signs that said 55....i looked everyday for the next two weeks.

Also i apologized for speeding. I was honest. I told him precisly where i was going. Why i was on the road. How fast my speedo said.

It didn't help. I have also tried lieing, didn't help before. Its only state police that give me tickets....and i have only recieved ONE ticket for speeding in 3 years...i think im doing good considering i dont speed.

Good advice, i was pulled over a couple weeks ago just after midnight (woops). And i got a warning, i was a little P.O.ed because it made me late for curfew, but like pwauburn says, dont speed if you cant take the ticket, but yes i completely agree, most of the cops around here are a**es, i've seen dozens of people being pulled over lately.

bloody lothian and borders police. and the bloody M.Ps

When I considered a do-good job, being a cop never crossed my mind. Most of their work involves writing tickets and paperwork, and most people hate them for it. Doesn't sound like a job that'd appeal to me.
On the other hand, no one hates a fireman. He doesn't do anything to piss anyone off, and he saves a lot of lives. And he doesn't have to waste his time doing hours of paperwork, he just needs to be ready to leave on a moment's notice. I want to be a fireman.

I want to be... a lumberjack!
