Ok, he was going a little fast but not by that much. The cop gave him a ticket for like 10 over or something yet he had the attitude that he really didn't want to give him that ticket; that he really wanted to give him a 30 over ticket and my friend was the scum of the earth.
Sorry for the rant. Obviously, it's not all Virginia cops, but some of those guys have issues. I heard that the legislative genius who drew up those draconian traffic fines for Virginians was a lawyer. Hmm, a politician that's a lawyer, big surprise. But it's not that he was a lawyer, but a traffic lawyer. Anyone think there's a conflict of interest there? Nah, it must for everyone's well being. Bastards. Well, at least I don't work in NoVa anymore. Now for some odd reason I'm feeling lucky to live in MD.
Cheers.
