Highsmith hoped to put the ordeal behind him by paying his $150 fine but a judge called his driving reckless and warned that Highsmith's license could be suspended for up to three years, Hirsch reported.

Thats exactly how the traffic light cams work...

Aren't traffic light camera tickets a civil infraction rather than a MM?

^Huh, I wonder about that part. Did his buddy give him up or did he just say "yeah it was me." I was under the impression that if you aren't ID'd and they try to deliver a ticket to the address the veh is titled under you the 5th is your friend.

It's a double edged sword. Which man law is most important??

Never leave a buddy behind? Never give up your buddy to the cops?

Sorry, reading > me.

Officer Thomas' ticket was written two days later. That suggests they had to track him down after the fact. Naughty.

The Newark Advocate reported Wednesday that Highsmith, 35, was riding along side an off-duty Gahanna police officer who was clocked at 149 mph.

Did the other off-duty officer get a ticket too? Was he not pulled over, or did he commit a felony by fleeing and eluding?

Back to the squid pics?

Let's review: No helmet, t-shirt, shorts, thong sandals, cigarette in mouth and CELLPHONE on ear.

Thanks. A NG plea doesn't necessarily mean he's absolutely going to argue he is not guilty at trial - it's probably just to give himself some time to negotiate a decent plea bargain. His only other options this morning were guilty or no-contest, both of which would have resulted in a conviction of the full charge this morning.

Case file indicates he pleaded not guilty this morning.
