“Graves said VonTesmar has repeatedly endangered public safety and that the agency is taking his case very seriously.
At 11-15 mph above speed limit... he really hasn’t endangered anything but officials sense of public decency... Well if he could do it, then anybody could, and we would have... Somalia!
Hilarious.
Good for him. I hope he succeeds.
Supposedly, when Lockheed was testing the first US jet fighter during WWII, the P-59, out of Palmdale, California, they were worried about private pilots getting too inquisitive. The test pilot found a way around this. He bought a gorilla mask, a bowler hat, and a cigar. If another aircraft started to get too close to his strange, propeller-less plane, he would don the mask, hat and shove the cigar in his mouth, pull alongside and wave at the other flier.
Naturally, no civil pilot was going to say he flew next to a plane without a propeller flown by a gorilla wearing a hat and smoking a cigar.
This probably wouldn’t keep you from getting a speeding ticket either. And, by the way, the Jedi Mind Trick doesn’t work on cops and they don’t think it’s funny.
Our city installed red light cameras ostensibly for traffic safety. However, the number of violations continues to escalate and reaps $80,000+ each month for the Arizona company that leases the cameras to the city. Obviously the cameras have no effect on reducing red light violations and there is every incentive for the camera company to enhance its revenues by tweaking the timing of the camera relative to the red light. There have been several unsuccessful court challenges.
The cops say the guy is an ass...
“I’m a monkey, officer. I don’t need a driver’s license.”
That’s sure going to be effective in keeping the police confounded.
I wonder what he’s smoking...
