Traveling down backroad in East Feliciana Parish pulling 16 ft trailer with mower and stopped by deputy who claimed we were going 87 in a 55. No way you could control this vehicle at that speed. The deputy miscalculated the speed by 32 mph. Anyone have this happen to them?

One time about 4:30 am I was headed west over the new bridge. Was in an old arse truck doing about 62-63 down the slope. Cop pulls me over past 415 saying I was doing 78. I was like uuuuuuuh my Speedo said I was doing about 62. Walks to his car, minute later come back and sends me on my way
Was very weird. I don’t think that truck went over 75 in its life

He's got you dead to rights. Be prepared to break out that checkbook.

That didn't get you arrested?

Got pulled over in Woodworth once. I was doing about 55 in a 65 and the LEO said he clocked me at 75. I laughed a little and told him that I couldn't even do the speed limit with the little V6 I was pulling a large CC boat with. He let me go, I was surprised, but a pretty nice guy. He explained that sometimes they will get a signal coming off a tire. He asked what I was fishing for and I told him he could pull me over on the way back through and I'd show him if I caught anything.

Why not? Shitty vehicle? I've pulled many trailers, toting all sorts of things, hitting 85-90.... primarily on the interstate...but I have hit 70s on back highways pulling a mower on a trailer... Don't speed of you're not willing to pay the cost. It may have been off some, but not by 32 I bet. You were probably only doing 20 over, congrats on your ticket.

No, but I got a ticket in Chickasaw, AL for going 26 in a 25 zone 
$79 BTW

Wrong. There is a lot of stuff that can go wrong with doppler, especially if you're not travelling directly at the radar or if there is radar interference.

Laughing...he probably didn't like you for some reason. You don't happen to remember his name do you?

This was back in the 80's. I was coming over the overpass next to the ballpark and he was in the parking lot of the gym. My grandmother(well known there) had a little talk him afterwards.

Got pulled over a few weeks ago - was going <45 mph in a 45 mph zone - was in right lane in heavy traffic - cop had to wedge in behind me and turned on his lights and blipped siren - I pulled over into first available spot - he said he clocked me at 62 mph - complete BS - I didn't directly challenge him but said I was pretty sure I was going 40-45 - he took my license back to his car and returned a few minutes later and told me how lucky I was that he was not ticketing me ($289 and 4 points). Jackasses like him give the majority of good cops a bad name.

Look at all these a-hole cops not ticketing people.

This is your argument? So, how fast were you actually going? If you 55 that's a lie

Did you ask to see the radar gun?

West Lee Street?

No. The street next to the ballpark. I used to know the names but it's been years since I've been there.
