Slow down folks!

Watch out for WV state troopers next time anybody goes out on 33 west. I know it isn't the same but, I got pulled over for my first speeding ticket yesterday on I64 right outside of Charleston, WV. I was just driving with traffic and a WV trooper on the side of the road in his Dodge Ram pointed me out. So I pulled over, he got me doing 79 in a 70, which I knew I was doing, and I explained to him that I was simply going with traffic. So I thought he was going to be cool and give me the warning, but instead he comes back after processing the paperwork and says, "Hey, this is a nice car, I bet it is easy to get out of hand with this car, considering what your license plate says (CYAH LTR)." I said "No, sir. I was just travelling with traffic and don't think this ticket is fair, and "see you later" is simply a saying I use with some friends." Well, I signed the summons so I could get going because I had a prior commitment in H'burg at 2pm that I couldn't be late to. After I sign it, he pulls the "Sir, you seem nervous, are you concealing any contraband that I should know about." I said no, of course, because I am not into that stuff. Then I asked him about payment, because WV doesn't do the $5 or whatever for every mile over.
"So what do I need to do about the payment, because I am not planning to come out here ever again," so the cop takes it sarcastically and says, "What does that mean, you have a problem with state troopers," and he goes on and on. Well, he finally lets me go, and so today I called the magistrate court of Kanawha County (what the f*** name is that) and I never talked to anybody, it was simply a voice recording. 9 and less mph over is $125, 10-15 is $130, and 16-20 is $135. So now I am out $125 for a stupid ticket that I shouldn't have gotten. Sorry, but I needed to vent, as for I will always remember my first speeding ticket being a fluke by a stupid WV state trooper.
