I got pulled over going HOW fast?!?!

73!!! The cop pulled me over for doing 3 over on the interstate!!! I had my cruise control set at 71, and aparently its 2 mph off.

He decided to grill me with questions, where I was coming from, where I was going, how long I'd be there, if I had any luggage, etc. If Texas statetroopers have nothing better to do than harass someone who is doing nothing wrong, then I now understand why Dallas and such areas are so high in crime, theyare busy harassing people instead of finding criminals.

Adam:
Next time offer the trooper some "chew" and while he's digging a plug you talk to him about your "Pappy" being from down-aroundTyler.

Or if that doesn't work, try this:

A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange:

Officer: May I see your driver's license?

Driver: I don't have one. It was revoked when I got my 5th DWI.

Officer: May I see the registration for this vehicle?

Driver: It's not my car. I stole it.

Officer: The car is stolen?

Driver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the registration in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.

Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?

Driver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.

Officer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?

Driver: Yes, sir.

Hearing this, the officer immediately called his Captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the Captain approached the driver to handle the tensesituation:

Captain: Sir, can I see your license?

Driver: Sure. Here it is. It was valid.

Captain: Whose car is this?

Driver: It's mine, officer. Here's the registration. The driver owned the car.

Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?

Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it. Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.

Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it.

Driver: No problem. Trunk is opened; no body.

Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, andthat there was a dead body in the trunk.

Driver: Yeah, I'll bet the lying son of a b1tch. told you I was speeding, too!

Was the trooper wearing one of those string tie's? ( they do that to keep the foreskin from popping up over their head) LOL

Adam,

I was thinking the same thing Denny said. You were being profiled. That's the way of the world. Hope it gives you a better appreciation of what manyothers have to go through on a daily basis.
