Trooper pulls a guy over, says " sir I clocked you at 90, it's 4:30 on Friday afternoon, If you have a good reason for going that fast, I might let you go." Guy says, " a few years ago my wife ran off with a Hiway Patrolman, and when I saw your lights I was afraid it was him trying to bring her back. Trooper says, " sir you're free to go, and have a good weekend."
Had the most unusual interaction with a Highway Patrol trooper yesterday.

Annual post of a useful public service message from Chris Rock:
Farmer Joe decided his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company responsible for the accident to court. In court the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe. "Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,'" asked the lawyer.
Farmer Joe responded, "Well. I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favourite donkey Bessie into the... "I didn't ask for any details," the lawyer interrupted, "just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'". Farmer Joe said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road..."The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Police officer on the scene that he was fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question."
By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say."
Joe thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie into the trailer and was driving her down the road when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear ol' Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans.
Shortly after the accident, a big old highway patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning and hollering so he went over to her. After he looked at her he took out his pistol, a 357 MAGNUM, and shot her POW! right between the eyes. Old Bessie just fell dead right there.
Then the trooper walked across the road with his gun still in his hand and asked me if I was injured or hurt in the accident. Well judge, I put it to you, after watching that big ol trooper shooting my bellering cow Bessie right between the eyes, dropping her in her tracks, what would you say?
I also have a lead foot with lots of interactions with LEO. Always do all the above about keeping hands on wheel, DL and insurance available to hand over, good attitude, windows down and so on.
Never got a warning in my life but one.
Was coming home from an elk hunt with an elk in the back of the truck in New Mexico between Clayton and Springer. Incredible long stretch of road with almost zero traffic. Speed limit 60mph.
Had the cruise set on 90mph, driving along seeing a truck coming at me. No problem.
The County Sheriff behind the truck was a problem and he hit me with the instant on radar so I was busted.
Pulled over. He asked if I knew my speed. Yep, 90. He took my DL and went back to his vehicle.
Came back and asked if I knew he could arrest and jail me at that speed as it was reckless driving.
Answered yes. (been there done that on a drag bike I was testing on a county road) He gave the DL back and said to slow it down. Thanked him, and left putting the cruise back on 90 to get off that godforsaken stretch of highway.

i got a ticket from a trooper for not wearing a seatbelt (reason for the stop) when I was, in fact, wearing a seatbelt. Same guy stopped me about a month later. That time I was absolutely in the wrong, 74 in a 55. He gave me a warning. Sometimes things that happen don't seem to make much sense.
Same thing here. Lying SOB claimed my wife wasn't wearing hers. She was, and so was I.
Yep, when I was eighteen and heading to float the Illinois. I was doing some stupid stuff with another car and we were being jackasses to say the least. OHP saw it and ran me down, just knew I was going to get all sorts of citations if not worse. The officer grabbed me, shook me, and screamed at me that the highway was not a playground....... and turned around..... stomped to his cruiser and sped off. Probably sat there for a few minutes in shock I didn't got to jail or something. Turned around and my passengers were all wide eyed with their jaws on the floor. Good times.
I think he was headed to the gym. It was about the time of day all the lonely house wives go down to work out.
