Gotta love a man with a sense of humor in a situation like that, but ignoring the incorrect data (date/car), suspect he may have been guilty??

He may have been guilty of the offence, but he was lucky the Sgt. had a sense of humor. The writing officer was probably thinking of the vehicle he had written just prior.

humans are fallible
the constable/policeman is human,
the constable/policeman is fallible.

Bet he was speeding. :D

what an error

Even if the guy would have committed a homicide
he would have gone free with this date error.

(At least here in The Netherlands.
A reasonable lawyer could even get the officer compromised)

Luckily it's only speeding.

Although whenever you go faster than the limit, everytime some police-employee is ready and aiming laser devices
those things are capable of a 400 yard distance for exact speed measurement, and they are legalized...

You guys must have it tough over there. Over here, the only ones that get caught have a first name that starts with "D" and last name that starts with "K"........the rest of the world that's going around me like I'm sitting still never get stopped. Enough to give a guy a complex !!

"give a guy a complex". reminds me of the the time my company commander said, "K......, you don't have an inferior complex, you are inferior". Maybe he told the Highway Patrol about me???

Using harsh and OK OK?

Well still smiling.... grinning, ..... becoming worse..

hehe.
what's the speed limit at yours?
here it is 120 KpH, divided by 1,6 ?? == MpH

Last time I was driving 125 Kph, not another soul on the
road. just saw a huge flash in the dark.
(speeding ticket 30 euro's, and you don't get your photo!)

Bargain?
ciaooo

Harshok,

Just came back from a trip last week, and encountered speed limits of 150 KPH, but can remember going 200 KPH on the Autostrada in Italy while stationed there, and was passed like I was in reverse. I did learn one thing, after becomming a police officer, and that was to slow down when traveling. It seems like a lot of small towns like to issue citations to out of state officers, with the statement, "You should know better, because you are a police officer."

Hello M1894

Well doing 200 kph is allowed in Germany at certain
speedway tracks (highway)

My cars max is just 140 kph
my business cars max is 180 kph

and indeed sometimes driving in Germany I
get overtaken with a noise zweesjjj
by some (to our standards) BIG mercedes/BMW/Audi or whatever luxury car.

Have you done 200 KPH once..

Afterwards you feel like you've become younger...

(einstein theory)

I live in Iowa (corn, not potato) which is in the middle of the U.S.. When I was growing up (yes, the wheel had been invented) there was no speed limit, When we had the oil/gas shortage in the 70's they imposed a 55 mph limit. Later it was raised to 65 and just recently was raised to 70 on main highways. Economics has caused a significant decrease in Highway Protrol cars on the road, so not many folks pay any attention. I recently saw data that indicated that when the Iowa speed limit was 65, 50% of our traffic exceeded the limit by 10 mph or more.

DOK, When I was on the P.D. we were told no tickets unless they were over by 11 MPH or more would get fined in the court. Many paid the tickets , but the ones who took them to court usually ended up getting off with just a lecture from the Judge. The only exceptions were Speeding in a School Zone.

Lee L.

Brrrr.

Here P.D. employees
wearing the uniform have a quote of tickets to fill up.

At least 300 tickets they have to write out.
each person.

Talk your way out-of-such ideas. if you can you're a lawyer for sure.


IMHO they should take fighting crime/vandalism etc.
to some higher stake.... Well its easier/safer to write a ticket.
if at least the date is written correct, so thats why they have handheld ticket printers. The date is auto-inserted.

sorry.

Just the laugh in it:
And those P.D.-guys do NOT get bonusses from their
tickets.
The money is going straight down the drain...

I always felt in the most danger in answering a Domestic Disturbance call. You never knew who would end up attacking you for any decission made. At least with a robbery or burglary you were more prepared for what you were going to find. I felt safer on a drug bust than a Domestic Disturbance. I think the most traffic tickets I ever wrote was 50 in one week, and that was only when we were trying to prove something to the City during contract negotations. The following week not even one ticket was written in the whole department

I've heard that many times.....imagine it's pretty much a lose - lose situation. Iowa has some pretty specific laws about what action the police have to take, regardless of what the combatants say.

I guess you could call them rules of engagement. (Been attacked more than once by the wife, even after she was the one making the call.

Hai Lee.

Yes, those women curle up against the hand that beats 'r.

Pam (beach series) was one like that

Also with a Lee BTW ;)

They come from Venus you know!

In Puerto Rico, anything over 100 mph gets you a $500.00 ticket. Otherwise it's $50.00 plus $5.00 per mile over. :cool:

But when the cop mis-spells your name, your address, and your drivers license # it is fairly easy to get out of a 240 K.P.H. (150 MPH) ticket. :D Don't ask!

Sure wish I could see the picture

Twillis, if you're reffering to me, there was no picture. Cop with radar gun on the opposite side of the highway radioing ahead to the toll station to "stop a blue jacketed sumbitch doing 150."
