Mercy, Wow. I am lucky Options

So, out driving tonight with some friends, taking them home from a concert, and they want to see what the Celi can do. We head for a small backroad. Turning onto it, I've got the underglow going, and get a little wheelspin cornering. Car feels great. I've got a straight stretch of road ahead of me now, so I hit the gas. Speed limit is 35, but road is straight and empty. Except for one set of headlights behind me.

You guessed it. They had me for

65 in a 35.
1 extra passenger
Underglow

And numerous other matters of symantics such as:

Cornering with excessive speed and wheelspin
Who knows what else?

Only, when the cop came up, he said

"Wrong place, wrong time. Liscense, insurance, registration. You got any explanation for what was going on here?"

I said "Being stupid and screwing around."

Cop: "Good answer. Sit tight."

He runs all of my stuff, checks the car for weapons, drugs, alcohol, and lets me go. I absolutely could not believe it. I honestly hope I've learned my lesson, because I seriously doubt that will EVER happen again.

So Im coming home from baseball practice and Im doing 85 or so in the MR2. Cop pulls me over and first thing he says is "You think this is a fking race track son?" He takes my info and goes back into his car to write the ticket. He tells me to stand at the back of the car with my hands on the car. At this point im like Wtf. So my ebrake is weak on the mr2 and i feel the car start to roll. I didnt know what to do haha. He wouldnt look up and I was afraid if i ran to the car he would think i was running. So im literally holding the mr2 from rolling. He finally steps out and lets me put it in gear and shut the car off. So he says, "I really should take your license." I asked how fast he thinks I was going. He says " I have you on radar doing 112. I literally laughed. I asked him where he was when he radared me. Told me he was coming up the onramp and followed me a mile doing speeds over 100 mph. I was just about to ask to see the gun but he started getting pissed and I wanted to keep my license so I let it go. Later on I let a friend of mines dad look at the ticket and turns out he never had me on radar. Ticket says 100 in a 60. But the radar block is empty. Needless to say im in the process of getting it fixed and if I cant get it fixed im fighting it.

that sucks, hope you get that fixed.

as for the rest of you. you lucky SOB's! i used to speed a lot. first time i got a ticket was for 61 in 45 and was $85. i think i could have fought it and won, but i knew i deserved it. i hate when people try to get out of tickets they KNOW they deserve. you have to accept the consequences. im just happy i learned my lesson when i was only going 16 over, could have been much worse i hardly ever knowingly speed over 5mph anymore. its not worth it.
