Speeding in an S550
Hey guys,
I've read that police officers are less likely to pull over a high end car like a S class because they don't want to risk angering someone important.
Do you think that might be true, or do you think it would work the other way since they would be more likely to pay the fine than show up in court?
Btw, this would be in Texas, might be different in the North East

Lol I think I'd rather not risk getting arrested. Don't they have dashcams that can capture your license plate anyway?
Of course, those cameras would only get a blurry picture at night. And the night view be great, assuming we could turn off our lights with it running :P

I have a friend who is a patrol cop. They're looking for anything out of the ordinary that might warrant a closer look. In addition to speed enforcement, they're out there looking for someone carrying drugs or cash, or with an outstanding arrest warrant. A traffic stop is just their ticket in. For a straight speeding stop an S Class isn't going to get you out of it. Being a 20 year old female in a low cut top is your best protection.
