One time I was driving back from Lake Arthur to Lake Charles... I had a class a McNeese about 2 hours from the time I left and I was living in Sulphur at the time so I decided to take the scenic route on Hwy 14. I was just driving along in my truck with the cruise set at about 50 and I got pulled over by a State Trooper.
He only asked for my license, registration, and insurance card... I asked what he pulled me over for and he said I was doing 69mph in a 55mph zone. The only thing I asked him if he was sure it was my truck? He was very short with me and just wrote me a ticket. I dont know what he was smoking that day but I know he didnt clock me going that fast. I didnt argue with him and just took the ticket and got it fixed.
Moral of the story... Sometimes cops get it wrong... do what you can to get it fixed or pay the fine if you feel you were guilty... follow the advice of some of the guys on here about keeping it off your record... thats the real expense.
