Re: My first cop experience

[Mike <lerb@redrose.net>]

I SURE am glad that here in GOOD ol PA they do not allow such police actions :)
BUT i did have the pleasure of being caught twice (did not get smart the
first time) in New Mexico. ONE WORD OF ADVICE "never speed in an Idnian
resorvation"
I know this to the tune of $130 for 7 miles over the speed limit. Got caught
in the rest of the state was doing 80 on a 65 and it only cost me $40. HOW
CAN THIS BE i asked someone...they told me that cuz it was on the "rez" that
they can charge anything they want on there cuz it is there own government.
That SUCKS! hehe
ohh well that was like 5 years ago....still paying for higher insurance tho :)
6 speeding tickets have a way of sticking with ya ahwile.
my advice it accelorate fast when ya get the to speed limit shift right into
fifth skip right over them other three hehe.
