Texas State Troopers

GOOD

In Richardson, Texas State Trooper was running radar. He had a
perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting any. Then he discovered the problem. A 12 year old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign which read "RADAR TRAP AHEAD!"

The officer later found a young accomplice down the road with a sign reading, "TIPS" and a bucket full of money. (And we used to just sell lemonade!)

BETTER

A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an
automated radar post in Plano, Texas. A $40 speeding ticket was included.

Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.

BEST

A young woman was pulled over in Austin, Texas for speeding. As the TX State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, "I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the Texas State Police Ball."

He replied, "Texas State Troopers don't have balls."

There was a moment of silence while she smiled and he realized what he'd just said.

He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car.

A) DPS doesn't patrol Richardson. You see them drive through 75 & 190, but they don't ever actively watch for speeders. You'll frequently find RPD sitting on the left emergency lane - one guns, another cop up ahead catches whomever. Also a major speedtrap on the northbound service road of 75 & Campbell - right before the Dart rail station at Galatyn - the only two tickets I've ever gotten in my life have been right there - one speeding, one not)

B) Automated radar post? wtf? Having lived next to Plano all my life, they rely heavily on red light cameras, and overly aggressive cops - there ain't no 5mph over rule in Plano. You see signs posted everywhere saying "7,238 red light tickets were issued last year" - that ain't no bull sh!t figure. Plano cops are among the worst in the Dallas area at speeding, with Flower Mound being a close second.

C) Heard that one before.
