Spencer918,
Trust me, coming from an officer of almost 28 years getting a thank you letter of a job well done from your supervisor can do wonders for the moral of an officer. Even if you got a ticket but yet the officer was professional and courteous. It�s nice to hear job well done when you get beat down by the motoring public for doing your job.

I hear it so often that we run traps in order to make traffic stops and create revenue. Bottom line is the little white signs, (really big in some cases) with the black lettering that say speed "LIMIT" mean just that. If you chose to exceed that limit, even by 1 mph, then you run the risk of getting stopped and possibly getting issued a citation. It's pretty cut and dry, either you were speeding or you weren't!!! Yes I have pushed the limit and got stopped for doing 6 over on I-20 by a trooper. I was speeding, what else was I to expect. Yes, as officers we do have tolerances that we allow, but that's at the officer�s discretion.

I love it when people ask about our speed "trap". I would only think it's a trap if you get caught. I also love radar detectors, especially the day when the guy threw it out the window when my radar was faster than his detector. Also the dummy in court last week that said he has gotten 3 tickets in the same place in 6 months and yet he konws what the speed limit is. Job security!!! lol

This post started out as a simple request to pass along a thank you to an officer if someone by chance knew him. Send me a pm spencer918 and I�ll see what resources I have available to me to get you message passed along...

I can honestly say after almost 28 years I get tickled at the motorists comments. I laugh it off and go get me another motorist.

You "laugh" and "go get you another motorist"?

Hmmmmm...

Maybe if everyone started doing the speed limit around Fork..... that would free up the black n whites so there would be less boat/gear/truck at ramp/cabin break-ins??? (wishfull thinking)



+1 on the hmmmmmm...
