Guest stvbreal Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Here's a kick in the ass. Try following trafic and get pulled over out of a bunch of others going the same speed then having the cop tell you the reason he pulled you over and not any other speeder is because your car looks faster. Selective speeding. Gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest visualpoet Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 It reminds me of the old joke about the guy who asked the cop why he pulled him over and not everyone else. the cop told him "You ever go fishing? You always catch all the fish?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 I think that news report is BS and was released only to scare people. I drive that everyday back and forth during rush hour, and some days twice a day and I have not seen one cop. Not saying to speed, but I have not seen one cop yet. All week and all weekend (crossed 5 times this weekend, back and forth). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
