SLOW DOWN, FOO.
Yeah, you're all big and clever cause you got off, but when you kill someone who pulls out of a side road, not expecting you flying down on him @90Mph, you'll feel pretty small.
If this is a joke, you need a week off.

Well he was "supposed" to until the friend whipped out the military ID... Cops usually back off after that.
Yes. In America, it's called the "Good Old Boys" network and it is rampant corruption at every government level, despite the fact that Americans have the constitutional right to equal protection under the law.Originally posted by: AnMig
Has the Police always been this way? with regards to preferential treatment.
I have always had a high regard for peace officers here in the US.
I came from a 3rd world country where the police are actually feared more than the criminals.
I know its a far cry from letting somebody off for a speeding ticket but this whole idea of treating everybody equally specially with regards to the law has got me thinking that they (police ) may be heading in a bad direction, or maybe it the whole society in general.
peace and slowdown before you ruin somebodies life

I call Bullshyt, Bullshyt, Bullshyt!
My military ID has never done jack for me when getting pulled over.
But whada ya expect, Tucson Cops are pretty much dicks anyway.
Not quite as bad as the Illinois State Police though. They're like the goddam mafia with their good-ole-boy networks!
EDIT: However COMMA.... It never ceases to amaze me how many people in here are perfect angels. They would NEVER fathom driving 90 in a 40 and anyone who does should be casterated, have their feet removed and sodomised the rest of their life, but these same people would quickly dish out the same punishment for someone who's NOT doing at least 10 over in the passing lane...forget about that car they may acutally be passing who'd doing less than the speed limit!![]()
Though I don't condone reckless driving by any means I can't say I'm not guilty of the same.
165 in a 75 on my bike, but it was also an empty stretch of interstate in the middle of nowhere. 90 through town = poor judgment.
EDIT Again: And just so you know, I think your military ID story is a fake. Like I said, mine has never bought me any favors.
That's just wreckless. Both for you and others. I only pray that this person and his friend die alone before they take someone else with them.

I'm just saying that just about everyone has had a moment of utter stupidity at some point in their lives. But this kid doesn't deserve to be crucified for it. I'm thankful that in amd's case that no one whas hurt and hopefully this will be a one time instance.
But I'm sure you, XZeroII, have NEVER once, not even when you were a kid, done anything so haneous as...dare I say... speeding.
