I stopped a guy driving 115 mph in a 45 mph zone.He was young and polite and admitted he was on the way to pick up his child and was late.I believed him as he had a child seat in the back seat.I spoke with him for a minute as a person and not some guy I had just stopped and I think I got my point across and he was released with no ticket and my advice to keep it under 65 mph.

But I had gained this guys respect and he now told me he was worried I would smell the marijuana smell in the car.I was amazed this guy said that and I asked him if he had drugs in the car.The kid said yes and pulled a joint from the sun visor.Well my point is this,I admired the guy for being a young father and for respecting me enough to admit to the dope.I believed him when he said he would keep his dope at home and slow down so I had accomplished what I set out to.

i cant believe what i just read. you let a guy go after he was doing 70 mph over the limit? i dont know how it is down south, but for SURE this man would have been in jail! no if's, and's, or but's! there would have been at least 3 cops surrouning him with the guns out! WOW! this guy whips out some weed and you let him tear it up and go? here, he would have been cited for the joint, your car searched HEAVILY, then another cop car would show. after all that you would appear in front of the judge who would give you a fine. WOW!

well Robocop, we need more cops like you!!!! personally i would have gave him the ticket. that is too excessive! as for the joint.....hehehe....thats another story...

when you are taking your pics on your digital, do this. stay still. press the button gently and it will focus on the object you are taking a picture of. then when it is focused, press a little harder on the button. try it and see.
