Today, I left work at normal, enjoying the sunroof back, window down breeze good ole SC.
Get to the normal stop light to make a left hand turn thinking to myself, 4 miles to the interstate and then I'm home free.
Left Turn arrow comes on and make a b-line to I26. Speed Limit . . .35. . .then 45. . . .then 55 . . .then 45 . . .then 35. . .
WOOOOWHOOOO I26 is here!! Merge onto the I with not a car in sight. Locked it down on 78 (Speed Limit 70) and away I go.
Two miles later this Big Dodge truck runs up on me and is riding my bumper . . . he remains close for about three more miles. A Harley screams by like I was standing still . . .
Guess what happens . . . The Dodge is the PO-PO . . .flashing lights and all. . .
I'm thinking. . .gosh that guy was speeding . . . but guess who he stays behind?
So I pull over and he steps out of his truck . . . A lil ole short cat . . .He isn't even a State Trooper or Hiway Patrol, he is a deputy sheriff.
I looked at him and say, "Yes sir, may I help you."
He asked for my license, I gave it to him and ask what's the problem.
He asked, " Where are you coming from and where are you going?"
I answered, "Work and home"
After calling my license in he finally says, "I saw you turn down the hiway after you made a burnout at the light"
Puzzled, I asked "Are you sure?"
He said, "Yea I saw you. You torn down Hwy XX, and now you are doing 80 down the interstate driving like a madman."
I said "Really? I think you have the wrong person."
He said, "No, I was right behind you. I saw you. Don't you know I can get you for wreackless driving and speeding?"
I politely said, "You could, but how are you going to prove it?"
He had a baffled look . . .so I decided to enlighten him
"Sir, if I did all of those things you said I did, then you must be a magician to see it"
He looked at me really confused.
"If I was driving wreakless and you were behind me, why did it take you 9 miles to do it?" I continued.
"Shouldn't you have stopped me then. Even so sir, why you never gave me an accurate speed I was going. Besides the fact, another vehicle passed both of us going WAY faster than I was. And what is a Sheriff doing stopping me on the Interstate. Another thing, sir, how did your truck turn into a Dodge? At the light, there was a Ford Truck, a red car, and big green truck. If you were behind me as you said, then you know exactly where I am coming from. Sir, did I mention if you were right behind me, why did it take you fifteen minutes to even catch me?"
Needless to say . . . I drove off with no ticket. What MORON!!
Things like this make me second guess the ethics of these guys. If I am caught speeding or breaking the law, tell me, and ticket.
Be aware my fellow E30ers . . . be aware of what the PO-PO must do and can't do.
