E63 Fun with Campus Police

Hi everyone,

I figured I would share this funny story with you about the CUA campus police. I am driving my E63 from one class on one side of campus to the other. I actually got stopped by campus police for my stock E63 for

"My engine noise indicated I was going over the 15mph speed limit".

I was not actually speeding but was in 1st gear going up a hill.

I did not get a ticket, but I thought it was hilarious that a CUA rent-a-cop on a bike was so dumb, but that's most likely why is a rent-a-cop on a bike.

I explained to this pinnacle of intelligence that my car has a exhaust note and that I was not speeding, and he responded with the speed limit is 15mph.

Just figured I would give people a Tuesday morning laugh.

-Dave

Not bashing, as mom and dad have spoiled me in the past as well.

Do you actually know how painfully slow 15 mph is? you were speeding... it's okay... we have AMG's and some of us are lucky to still have our lic!
Watch out they do have arrest powers!
Now if you got detained for the 15 mph, THAT would have been hilarious!

Have a good one!

No seriously, I wasn't speeding. I hadn't even had a cup of coffee yet. Seriously. I would say I was speeding like last week in Virginia when I got my 49 in a 30 laser ticket. I seriously was not speeding on this one, there were people all around, and much as though I do speed around campus, I speed in less populated areas.

What is most funny about this post is the first time your little CLS gets keyed or broken into your probally gonna call that same guy crying like a little biach asking to help find the guy. Its a shame that guy puts his life on the line for your stupid little imature *** and all you can do is armchair 1/4back his job. Good luck in school, hopefully you can pay your own bills soon.

He got an E. Eh come on emoving, you are too harsh on him. Campus Police is not the greatest job on this planet, I personally had an issue with a campus police before too. We are all paying taxes that gives benefits to our local police forces.

Dude, you were speeding. 15mph is impossibly slow...for that matter 30 mph is impossibly slow in an AMG. NOBODY drives the speed limit on campus. Get over yourself and the superiority complex your parents gave you with the benz. I hope the rest of your life is so easy. Most of us worked our asses off to get what we have.

If your parents buy you things, it doesn't mean you dont deserve them. It depends how you accept having those things that counts. Families more well off are most likely going to give their kids more expensive things.

I haven't seen many priests driving fast in AMGs, but a few driving slow in Lexuses.
