Good for you, but I never would've received that same break from that cop.. Middle finger to the pigs, they ruined my life.

+1

i'm sure there are many stories that have saved people

but i just don't see the justification, particularly with use of pinpoint laser

nothing u can do about that

and nothing substitutes obeying posted speed limits

How about the story from some poster on this forum that said something like, "I got pulled over by a female cop and she pulled me over just to ask how many horsepower does that M5 have"?
