WOW I sure did start a fire didn't I?

Well let me start by saying ......

PREACHERMAN I sure do appreciate what you are doing over there!! Makes me fondly think about the time I spent there while in the Marines. You are serving your country and there is nothing as admirable as that......THANK YOU!!!

NOW back to the thread....

The kid in the Mitsubishi had a really bad mouth, and I was beneath him, and his Dad is a lawyer and he would get out of it anyway, so I figured I would give him his shot, He got the ticket he was asking for. The guy in the Mustang didn't say a whole bunch, BUT he has had 8 speeding, 2 redlight violations, 1 Driving under suspension, and 2 crashes resulting in yet two more violations (all within the last 18 months)....and by the way his License was suspended so he got one for that too, and by state law I had to tow his car. 70 MPH would not normally be cause for me to write a ticket ...but...well lesson learned....or not??!!
And a little background on me....I have written exactly 8 citations since April when I got back on the road. (Including the two from today)
Preacherman, I can appreciate how you feel, but you didn't have enough information to tell me I give Police Officers a bad name. I do my job well and have for quite some time. I served my country well for quite some time also. I am no traffic cop. I make a living helping kids and the less unfortunate. Well just today I did my part to remove a crack dealer from the street and put a guy in lockup that beat the piss out of his wife. Not to mention the mental case that wanted to kill himself that we talked him down to where he was calm enough and we took him to the psych unit at the hospital to get him some help.
The title of the thread is something like, TO OUR POLICE OFFICERS...A QUESTION....the question was something like have you pulled over a Camaro?? Well the thread was addressed to me....I responded. It might not be to your liking, but YES I have pulled over a camaro, and he did NOT get a ticket....neither did the guy in the BMW that pulled out in front of me yesterday, or the lady in the old Chevy Caprice that was doing 48MPH in a 25 MPH zone yesterday...nor did the fat girl in the Ford Escape, or the drop dead beautiful girl in the Mustang on Thursday that ran a red light....I don't write many tickets....I won't apologize for the two I wrote today.

Thank you preacherman for doing what you do....it does not go unnoticed.
