Our cops are downright sneaky in jet black stealthy shaped marked cars with flat roof lights to be hard to be seen till its too late, and they feed at dusk or cloudy days when hard to make them out. They can nail you with radar through their front passenger side door window while poking out of a side street.
My next blog post will be about their tricks.
That is why non-moving fine cameras don't bother me.
Back when the speed limit was 55, My husband and I were on a long road returning to Texas from New Mexico.
We had this conversation about the slow speed, about the amount of officers they had per mile on the lonely highway we were traveling. IOW, if we increased our speed, what are the chances of getting caught?
It was late, well past twilight, we decided they couldn’t have more than 1 per 100 mile stretch, so boosted it up to 70. I’m saying, we were out in the middle of nowhere. Nowhere !
As soon as we increased speed, a NMHP had his lights on us.
Rolling down the window, my husband says “ my wife and I were discussing how many patrol units were out here, we decided 1 in 100 miles......would you be he?”
LOL!
I don’t mind sneaky. Where the heck did this guy come from? No matter. We were breaking the law...going above the speed limit.
I’d rather have listened to that humorous exchange than get some stupid picture in the mail. Or perhaps I’m just old fashioned.
