Nightmare #2
OK guy's, remember when I stated in my previous post on "nightmare at the Drag Strip yesterday" that I have no luck at all? Well this morning I finished bleeding the IC pump in my SL and took her for a test run out in the country.
Well apparently I failed to Recon the area of operation, because I got hammered for doing 105 in a 45 by a Sheriff deputy, OuuuuuuCH! I was thinking what could possibly go wrong out in the country were nobody hardly ever travels, the Luck of the Irish Huh? Well it's safe to say that my old A_ _ had to instantly hire an attorney to save my butt for my Aug 27Th court appearance. The sad thing is, I won't stop speeding, it is what it is.![mercy](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/mecry.gif)
The only reason he did not haul me off to jail is because he knew I survived to near Ambushes, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, so I guess he felt that he'd give me a break.

Wow... And I thought i had some bad luck...
Look, what you need to do is light a bunch of candles around your house.
Find a virigin and offer her to the bad "Ju Ju" gods and
Say a handful of Hail Mary's praying for a Judge who is a veteran
That should fix your problems....
Good luck and thank you for your service to our great country...

Most of them are fat and out of shape, I want to walk up to them so bad just to inform them that they are not that important really, I possess a unique set of skills that far out weighs their competence level and use of discretion when dealing with the public here. If they want to impress me, know how to employ various weapon systems and conduct real world missions with Seal teams and Delta operators who are far more advanced than their pathetic butts are.
They should try foot marching over difficult terrain just to find, fix, and finish the enemy in Close Quarters Combat. Not all cops are like that, but these backyard country cops would not survive two days with my team during combat operations with minimal sleep and back to back ops in hostile territory.
They have nothing else better to do other than to patrol a 3 mile piece of terrain on I-85 and hammer those poor out of state drivers just to gain revenue for the county. I can't respect that, especially when they give me dirty looks when I'm in the SL, it's seems as if they want to race me and show me what their little American made Dodge Charger can do, as if I gave a flying F_ _ K.

My problem is that I only get caught Gunning it, I never get one for speeding at a sustained rate of speed. I will travel 11 hours straight on my way to Disney World in Florida and won't get stopped one time, but the minute I hot dog it, I become a Fuzz magnet, Hell just this past year i'm sure some Police commisioner got a raise just by all the revenue that I have generated for the Force.

VA cops are notorious.... I lived in CA for 6 yrs not a single ticket.. moved to VA for two years for work and got two tickets in one month... they are the shadiest cops out there... they waited at 45 to 25 transition zone and gave me a ticket as soon as i got into 25 zone.. (i was doing 45). Another thing was at the down hill. You know it's gonna go a bit faster when you go down hill and they waited at the point where the ascend become decend so never got to brake ... ( i was again barely over 45) ... Oh how i wish I can pay them back someday... stupid dumb meat heads... well sorry to hear about your ticket.. be safe...

Painting all cops with a pretty broad brush there cowboy. Not all of us are "pompous and arrogant". Most of us did our time for Uncle Sugar, myself in SEA doing ECM and photo recon.
You said it yourself, you failed to do proper recon of the AO. So don't blame the cop for your error in judgment he was just doing was his superior officer tasked him with as you are tasked with meeting new friends in foreign lands and killing them.
Good luck with court, I hope you make out ok. All I have left to say is "do you have any further questions of me"? "Fine, have a safe day and slow it down."![action](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/action1.gif)

Commonwealth of VA cops are truly the worst; especially in NoVa and on the dulles tollroad. VA has upped their penalties as well. I try not to speed in the commonwealth, it's hard but whenever I go to VA beach or through the place I try to drive within reason...flow of traffic etc...oh yeah vehicle matters in VA; I could be doing 80-90 in my Dodge Cummins Diesel truck (use it to town the race car) and not even get looked at by cops; the SL, bimmer or anything else, POW! pull over![EEK!](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
Hang in there Charles....brother your due for some good luck soon!

Hello all, just to keep you posted on the latest of the greatest, I appeared in court today in Virginia and walked away with a $2,000.00 fine, no suspension, and no jail time. As happy as I am, it's sad that it's all about money and not safety with traffic infractions. If you recall I was clipped for doing a 105 mph in a 45 mph zone out in the country while test running the SL. I definitely live in the country, while I chew Copenhagen snuff, so do the cops inside of the court room, man that's disrespectful wouldn't you say?

Since when was ever not 'just about the money'?
It looks like it worked out mostly ok. Did you bring a lawyer? How is the car running?

Yes I had to have an attorney and a good one at that. The car is running good, but I just bent one of my wheels running over a pothole and now I am having a hard time deciding on a new 20" wide lip wheel, i'm looking for the 5 star effect now.
