I don't think *anyone* is saying that. Sounds to me like everyone accepts what (allegedly) they did.

BTW -- never pinched for a single moving violation ever. Not sure I'll be saying that at the end of this school year.

I guess I should have noted the sarcasim in my comment....

And a pharter to boot, eh?!?

No worries. I just wanted to head it off "in case." Threads like this in the past on "other" sites have taken unfortunate turns to cop-bashing ... which is something my friends Tom, Dustin, and others don't really like (and by extension, I don't like).

I'm good with that....

I've been a cop for almost 10 yrs... I guess I should have known better...

The cost of the speeding ticket is nothing compared to what the insurance companies whack you with after the ticket. You're lucky . . . in MA they don't let you go to traffic school on-line or otherwise. You get points for every ticket you receive and your insurance costs go up.

I'd speed like a madman if I wouldn't get whacked by the insurance company.

No kidding. I bet drivers are very patient there, unlike SoCal.

Yeah, you and my little baby brother the Sarge!

Last one I got was out near Pearblossom (CA upper desert) and ran me around $400. The radar detector a couple months later was $300. It's probably saved me at least two grand over the last five or six years. I kid not. Unfortunately I have a bit of a lead foot and more HP than I probably should have.
