Also, the Ohio State HIghway Patrol is HARDCORE. ....They are first, and foremost, traffic cops.
Yes, they perform that duty. But they are much more than that.
Used to live near a lieutenant in the Highway Patrol.
They are state cops similar (but not quite as badass) as the Texas Rangers (not the baseball team).
Not a crew to mess with.
Funny story: Got pulled over by a Statie for doing about 7 mph over the speed limit. Tossed out the “these are not the droids you are looking for” line just for levity purposes. He saw that I was on a date and played along. That ended up being a fun night!
