I fought the law and the law won.
Edited on Mon Dec-27-04 12:58 PM by HEyHEY
ARGH! Speeding ticket. I knew it was a crime, I did it anyway, let's face it man I'm a fucking criminal.

Actually I got lucky he gave me a break. I did know it was just a matter of time, I've driven that highway too often, while speeding, to get away with it forever.

Man, I'm tired, left Van at five AM after only getting to bed at 12:30 last night.

You guys enjoying your stats?

3. Yeah, they usually do, don't they?
I remember when I was a kid, some guy was trying to impress me by telling me how he'd told off a cop who'd stopped him for speeding. He thought he was a real big shot - I asked him, "so what did the cop do?" Cuffed him and brought him in for assault and resisting arrest.

I was real impressed. :silly:

5. Sounds like you didn't fight hard enough
If you didn't want a ticket you shouldn't have pulled over

7. Then you could have run him off the road
And you'd be here with a thread that says "I fought the law and the law is one hand short now"

10. One word for the future:
fuzzbuster

AKA Radar Detector.

I have one, and knock on dashboard, I've not been stopped since I got it. That thing is a miracle...lets me know when a radar is within two miles of me.

12. They use pulse radar and/or laser where HEyHEY was...
...you need a laser jammer to beat those. And pulse rdar doesn't turn on until they gun you, and by thgen it's too late to slow down.

21. They're legal to own.
They're just not legal to use, and I don't know anyone who has been proven to have used one.

I don't even own one; I don't think my 4Runner can break the speed limit anymore.

14. Mine, which was very inexpensive, tells you when they are using either.
If they pulse on another vehicle in front of you, even if it's two miles up the road, mine goes off.

18. That's unfair.
They don't shoot anyone. They take them to Stanley Park and beat them senseless, then let them go.

23. That's only for public intoxication.
Speeding is public castration at the aquarium.
