I gotta sit this topic out for a bit, I'm too pissed off to be objective.
A county road pirate jacked me this morning, and he lied about how fast I was going, (I was going between 70 and 75 in a 65, he wrote me up for 81), he lied about it being a construction zone, and he had a shitty attitude on top of it all. He was at least the 4th road pirate ambush I had seen this morning so I was carefully watching my speed, and I know damn good and well how fast I was going. I handed him my DL and he never even bothered to ask for registration or proof of insurance, he just went and wrote up the ticket real quick and went back to his ambush spot to look for more folks to steal from. He was masked and refused to give me a business card when I asked, too.
Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, and road pirates gotta steal, I guess.

I am their worst nightmare. I tend to drive five under the limit. It is a habit I picked up driving Trucks OTR. It was especially fun in Ohio and Illinois which had and may still have split speed limits. I would be driving 50 in a 55 MPH zone and other trucks would be passing me doing 55. While cars were fuming furious because their limit was 65. I would have a mile long line behind me before the state line appeared.
Dash cameras with GPS speed are worth their weight in gold mate. Cheaper than a ticket every time.
