<VV> Someone is speeding, someone pays, so all is good ~ driving a Corvair can help

the law enforcement growth industry.

Gosh, what country are you in? Or I guess I have just had VERY GOOD interaction with the police in all 35 years I have been driving. They have always been as respectful to me as I have been to them (VERY). But I always make sure my vehicles are legal and my driving is respectful.

>I actually won in court with a jury once on a speeding ticket.  I presented the different ways that radar guns can be wrong, that cops can make mistakes and it was the end of his night shift, apologized and I prayed a lot.  You should have seen the look on the prosecuting attorney's face.  He had clearly never lost a speeding ticket before.  A jury actually did their job and protected an innocent citizen from the law enforcement growth industry.

>The strange thing is I rarely got tickets when I was actually doing something that they could have ticketed me for.  I was running about 100 in a 30 running red lights one time in a race with an undercover cop.  I got surrounded later on the other side of town and they just gave me a hard time.  No tickets.  Of course they never saw the cop that was racing me.  I wasn't complaining since I didn't get a ticket.
