I’m not kidding, the cops got caught, but I’m not sure what the punishment was.

A more recent funny cop case is here

The June 28 traffic stop of the two lawmen on motorcycles was made by Trooper Bryan D. Lee, 25, of the Granville post on a section of I-70 near the Buckeye Lake exit. Their speeds were clocked by a patrol airplane in an area where the posted speed limit is 65 mph.

Gahanna Officer Christopher Thomas, 33, received a ticket for going 149 mph eight days later, after the patrol made a courtesy call to his department. Trooper Jason E. Highsmith, 35, received his ticket for going 147 mph after four days.

Those are the highest speeds ticketed by the Granville post since 2005, when two motorcycle drivers going 147 mph and 151 mph, respectively, received tickets. They were driving side by side on I-70, were clocked from the air and got their tickets on the same day they were caught.

The Ohio Department of Public Safety has requested an investigation into the actions of all three men involved in the stop last month. Footage from Lee’s cruiser shows him recognizing Highsmith and turning off the sound halfway through the official recording.
