I havent been back in Fairfax county more than 2 days... and i get two tickets... i was on Bradock Rd... turning right onto 123 headed to hoodbridge sunday morning. as soon as i turn on the road there is a police officer with a neon pulled over... i move from the right lane to the left because he was outside of his car walking back to it. i look down... i'm doing 40mph in a 45mph zone... i think "sweet i actually wasnt speeding..." 3/10 of a mile later i'm stopped on the side of the road... and his first words are...
"why are you driving like a maniac? are you trying to kill someone?"
me: *stupid look*
"give me your license and registration"
me: *hands it to him*
police officer: *walks back and writes up the tickets... then comes back 15 minutes later*
police officer: "you do know your exhaust is illegal... and i'm writting you a ticket for failure to obey a highway sign"
me: "sir what highway sign?"
officer: "the speed limit"
me: "did you catch me on radar?"
officer: "no"
me: " did you get me on laser or pace me?"
officer: "no... but i had to do 60mph to catch you! thats uncalled for in this area... the speed limit is 45!"
me: *starts to speak*
officer: "you save that for the judge i dont want to hear anything you have to say... you are free to go"
now it was a GMU officer.... so i'm sure when i go to court i'm going to have to have BIG charts with math... but just because he was doing 60mph to catch me in 3/10 of a mile... from a dead stop... doesnt prove i was speeding. if anything... mathmatically it proves i was under the speed limit.
a police officer cant go the speed limit to catch someone doing the speed limit i wonder if they give the police officers free classes to take at GMU... i have a couple of recommendations.
yes i'm going to court again... i cant stand being charged for something i absolutely didnt do.
