A Gift From the FHP
Not a kill story but worth sharing.
Yesterday, as I'm approaching my favorite on ramp to the freeway I notice I have it almost to myself. This is a very long sweeping on ramp with a long straight before actually entering the flow of traffic and a favorite place to stretch her out and feel the power.
As I exit the sweeper I'm hard on the gas, nose up, moving like a freight train, well into triple digits and closing on the only other car on the ramp at warp speed. Now, I would never pass another car at such speeds and intend to back off well before I blow past him when he flashes the blue lights in the back window of his UNMARKED CRUISER for just a second or two to let me know who he is. Guess he saw me barreling down on him and was kind enough to give me a warning.....and himself a good laugh.
Needless to say, I tucked in behind him and behaved myself for the rest of the trip.

See, there are still good cops out there.
Looong time ago when I was 19. I got a warning from a FHP for doing 130+mph on the turn pike. It was in the middle of afternoon and there was no one on the road. He just didn't want to throw me in jail that day.

Still, not a fan of LE.
