re: Have you ever lied to get out of a speeding ticket?

I'm not proud of this but here it goes:

Years ago I was a poor as hell. Expired inspection sticker, expired registration, and no insurance. I lived near the Gardere area and Staties would consistently have inspection sticker check points in that area.

A Marine buddy of mine once told me that the Louisiana State police were known as the Marine Mafia due to the high amount that were Staties.

With what little money I had I had the bright idea buy and place Marine Corp stickers on my back window.

Low and behold one day I get pulled over at a check point. I know I'm screwed.

Statie walks to my window. I'm sweating bullets. He asks where I went to Boot. I tell him Parris Island. He then tells me to get my registration and inspection sticker taken care of and sends me on my way.

I would later tell my Marine buddy about this and he wanted to slap the black out of me. For the record I'm an Army vet but I feel horrible about what I did to this day.
