1/ I'm lost in Long Island, in NY for years and never came out here. The exits are too few and far in between, at least from what I'm used to, and I passed the exit I needed. So I decide to back up on the shoulder a good hundred yards. Highway patrol pulls up beside me, rolls down his window and says, and ill never forget this because I laugh to this day, "I know I don't see you doing what I see you doing."
. I have Florida plates and I tell him I've never been here before I've been driving for hours and I'm lost, I really need some help. He shakes his head and says, "don't let me see that again."2/ I'm about to be late to work. Traffic is at a stand still and my exit is 200 yards from me. I'm at a point where two highways merge so there is 75-100 yards of open space between the highways as they start to merge. I'm being patient and not jumping over there. But then I see someone else jump out there, so I said hell I'm going to be late, so I jump out. All of a sudden I see highway 1 coming from the other highway. They are NEVER coming from that highway. I didn't even travel 25 ft, and I dip back in. I see him pull her over, so I go to the other side of the highway. This trooper walks across six lanes of highway and tells me to come over to the other side lol. I tell him "I'm on my triple pay day overtime and if I'm late I'm going to be in huge trouble and never be able to work this day again. I never do things like this, and this is the only reason why. It'll never happen again." I never spoke so fast. He checked my license and let me go. Phew.
3/ This time I'm driving on a stretch of highway that they've been working on for at least a decade...no joke...one mile, a decade...anyway, this part they constantly put up and pull down work signs and speed signs to the point it's a guessing game of what speed you're traveling for that one mile week to week. Highway one comes flying down doing 60, I don't see any sign where I get on so I get behind him and do 55. He drops behind me and pulls me over. Says I'm doing 56 in a 35 zone. Me: "Says who?" Him: "Says the six signs you passed." Me: "Hell no. Gimme my ticket, I'll deal with you in court." I double back to see what he's talking about. There are eight signs, but none from where I actually enter the highway. I go to work the next day it seems like everyone at my job has had a run in with this particular trooper. He is notorious! They all say I have no chance. Just pay it. Problem with that, is at 21 over the limit its 6pts (which is why he said I was doing 56 instead of 55), $300 penalty, and double the $300 speeding ticket because its a "work zone". That's $900!! Plus my insurance goes up. Hell no, I'm going down fighting. I go back to videotape the stretch of highway that he caught me on, and what do you know, they put the damn signs back up. I delay the court appearance, the trooper delays it. Within that time I got video tape of the signs down. I go into court with a lawyer...note to everyone, traffic attorneys are the most useless thing you can spend your money on...and I'm nervous as hell. Judge calls us up, first the trooper speaks, and he scared the hell out of me. He starts reciting all the technicals of his radar gun, it being calibrated the night before and night of, the speed, directions, cross streets of where the highway was passing, how he maneuvered. I thought to myself that I was done. Then my attorney's turn to go, I'm thinking "get em!!" When he was done talking in less than two minutes, all I can think is "you useless piece of $#!T." In his cross, the trooper drops it down to 55mph, my attorney turns to me and says, "he dropped it to 55, that's two points and no penalty. You want to pay that?" I look at him in disgust, and tell him to move, (as far as I'm concerned its all or nothing ya heard!) and ask the judge if I can speak. I said I got this video and explained to the judge the issue with that stretch of highway. Judge calls the trooper over and tells him to explain the video lol. He was stuck. I thought to myself, "yeah, where's all your technical BS with all your authority now b****!" Lol. The judge asked when I took the video because there's no time stamp with an ipad...I really don't remember what I said...the judge said he's going to give me the benefit of the doubt and dismiss. BAM!!! I looked at my attorney and said, "you lucky my company already paid you." And I bolted. Funny, I heard someone in the audience waiting on their case say "yeah!" Under their breath. I brought hope to everyone in that court lol. The next day I told everyone at my job how I did what nobody else could, I took down Goliath. They said I better stay off that highway for a while....but you think I listened to that ha, I'm a rebel baby.
Not a blemish on my record.
....that trooper is probably looking for you as we speak
