Yup
I've been clean for years and got a ticket a few months back in the middle of Iowa for 10mph over going to Ames.
Coming back from haning with the guys driving on Gary Ave just coming up to Lake street I come to a stop and this guy stops right on my bumper, and I can see some electronics in his car and think its a cop, but see blinkers on his mirrors and think its a tuner benz or something. Light turns green, cheerys and berrys go off and the spot light to blind me.
I seriously wasnt driving too be either (I made a little noise leaving the cruise night and thought he saw me there). I pulled over and cut the engine (no need for them to hear the exhaust). I get a ticket for 13 over. It boggles my mind because 13-ish over is normal here. But its almost mid night I have out of state plates and its a yellow car.
I am always polite and request to take off the seat belt and to reach into my pocket before doing so, just showing respect.
Anywho... its my first ticket in IL, I hope I get supervision but am not couniting on it.
A second cop was there for a minute (which I hate, it looks REALLY bad with 2 cops behind me) and he seemed to be a rookie, he was scooping out my tires and the officer that pulled him over showed him the few tread marks the drag radials had and sad "nah these are ok...see there"
So Im happy, I just wont drive thru there too fast anymore. $75 I think and hopfully supervision.
Its been a looooooooooooong day.
