that would be a misdemeaner in this state .........over 110 miles per hour is a misdemeaner ,you can get aressted on the spot ...........do over 110 past a couple of other cars ,you can get a felony.......you will definatly get arrested

seems that things can go either way when dealing with the law ......last year i had a small town cop bump my speed up a few miles per hour ,...put me into the next higher fine range ........
........but on the other side of the coin ,about six months ago a state cop cut me a big break by giving me a no-point summery when i blew past her at about 80 on a small country road (and it took her 6 miles to catch up to me)


i can't really hold a resentment torwards the law .......for everything i was ever arrested for and treated harshly ,there was an equall instance that i was cut a break ......it all sorta balences out .........

mustangII460..........couple months ago , i was talking to a local cop in my area that stoped by to check out me and a couple of other cars ......he asked if my car was fast ,.....i told him it'd take about 15 seconds to commit a felonie..........he got a laugh out of that
...........in my life i've had some differantses with the law and i've met some cops who were pricks ,but out of the magority of cops i've met ,.....ive found that if you treat em with the same respect you would give anybody ,most of em are ok peaple and it just comes down to them doing there job ..........and to be honest i was never arrested for anything i wasn't guilty of
