I know someone who got a ticket for going 36 in a 35....OUCH!

 

El Segundo.. stay away from "the second"? lol (segundo means second for the non spanish speakers.

lots of cites in mexifornia are named after spanish words though...

 

Well this was once Mexican/Spanish land... Duh.....^^^^^^

Hence; Santa Ana, Los Angeles, Palos Verdes. etc.....

haha I would like to see the cost of that 1 MPH over the speed limit...geesss.

 

25+ years ago it was only about $40.

 

i guess that makes sense, i wouldnt come back unless i knew id get enough money off the make the trip worth while but id have to be goin pretty fast to get that to work for me

 

What are these police cards? I've never heard of them.

Oh and during the Sturgis Rally, I live about an hour away and so most of the Wyoming HP's come over and they start nailing people even one mph over, trying to keep eveyone way slow.

 

A "police card" is a new one on me, as well. A speeding ticket for 1 mph over? That's insane, and I've never heard of anything like it. At the department I retired from, the "unwritten" policy was nothing less than 10 over. Hell, I've even seen so-called "certified" speedometers in police cars to be off by 5 mph. The Missouri Highway Patrol has been known to issue citations for 6 over, as have the cops in a few small speed-trap towns I'm familiar with. But 1 over? That's just nuts. [sm=wtf.gif]

 

A "police card" is a PBA card Policemans Benevolent aAssociation,I know it is not in every state so i called it a "police card" it just shows that you have a friend or family member in the police force.

 

so is it like a pass or something? or do they normally just like let you go because you know someone?

 

Last ticket I got the Statie commented I was doing 57mph in a 55 speed zone.

But he also swore he clocked me doing 65 in the same speed zone. He wasn't even in his car when I drove past him. He was standing at the pass door of the car he's pulled over before me.

He was setting about 75ft from the exit ramp I was on. I saw him setting there and looked at my speedometer while I pased him. It read 35mph.
(remember, I was driving a 318, 2bbl, '79 Dodge Diplomat. not exactly a Roush Rustang)

Three miles south here he comes. Flying up my @$$. Pulls me over says he clocked me doing 65 in a 55.

I told him I do not speed as I know I can't afford the ticket. Says he has me doing 57. But you know he wrote the ticket for 65.

County says if I go to jail, they credit me with $6/day till the ticket is paid. (WTF is this?)
Six dollars for setting in jail for 24 hours on a speeding ticket I wasn't guilty of?
