Now, I searched as this is 3 weeks ago so VVSIAP.

What do other normal citizens think about this? Kind of makes me a little upset. What takes place simply doesn't make any sense at all to me especially how quickly it begins/ends.

I don't know how anyone can do 92 in Austin traffic.

Just goes to show, as long you're respectful of the officer and politely explain that you're on your way to a game, they'll just say "take care, buddy" and send you on your way.

Cops always get special treatment, it may not be right but it has always been that way. He pulled over his boss, sorry boss have a nice day

If not mistaken, the chief issued him a ticket when it got out. Yes he wouldn't have probably if it hadn't.

I noticed that too? Maybe a serial badge number of some sort? I'm sure they have ID cards

Was surprised to see LSUTANGERINE wasn't the OP of this thread.

Looks like he was heading south on Mopac where the toll road ends at Braker, heading toward the 183 junction. No way he would've been going 92 past that point, for sure.

Maybe they are all getting some unicorn drink at Starbucks and not sitting in their cars for once.

Our District Attorney got a ticket in our Parish and paid it.

He said he was going to Waco for the Kansas game, so I wouldve guessed 35 North of town but I wasn't paying attention to the road signs.

You're right, he was heading northbound on Mopac in that same area, almost to Braker.

Cop was either sitting under the 360/Mopac bridge, or 183/Mopac.

That stretch has always been a raceway, between 183 and Braker on Mopac.

There is a follow up press conference video where the chief made the stopping officer give the assistant chief the ticket after the fact.

The chief said they have to hold their own accountable just like the citizens.
