Speeding Tickets and Asshole Cops

Yes, I was speeding and yes, I probably should have gotten a ticket, but it still doesn't justify the attitude from the jerk-off cop who pulled me over. We all know your cool uniform gives you this distorted feeling of empowerment and authority, but trust me, you're still just an average dude with an ugly badge.

I know you want to hear the story, so here it is. Tom and I were in a hurry to make a yoga class that we were already late for. After being stuck behind a car going super slow on a one lane road, I immediately accelerated quite quickly around it as soon as the road became two lanes. The guy behind me followed me then cut over in front of the other car and took off like a race car going mach 10. I saw the cop as soon as the other guy passed me and instantly slowed down. I figured that since the other car was still going at least 25mph over the speed limit that the cop would go after him for sure...Good guess, but no. He pulled me over and told me that even though the other guy was probably going 10mph faster than me that he didn't get his speed on radar and therefore couldn't go after him. Yeah, exactly what I wanted to hear. Then, the dumbass tells me that instead of giving me a ticket for going 51 in a 30 zone, he'd only give me a 49 in a 30 which was the lowest he clocked me at. THANKS BUDDY! Grrrrrrr...

I bet you can imagine what kind of mood I was in the rest of the night! Lots of M&Ms cured that problem though :)
