This is absolutely the better news story. Talk about burying the headline.


That isn't peoples regular job lol. The last city i lived in tbe people on the city council were lawyers and business people and all drove nice vehicles. It wasn't their $10k a year annual salary for being a councilman that afforded it

It wasn’t as bad as you made it out to be.

The trooper was explaining how the ticket process works, and he answered, “I know how it works. I run the county.”

Definitely a toolish answer, but it wasn’t a “How dare you give me a ticket” answer.


Just a more nuanced way of higher-up intimidation and the ol', "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM, BAW??"

Agree. Didn’t seem like a jerk (other than speeding off - but he was getting back into fast traffic also)

County Official isn’t a full time job, so could be a successful businessman. Hence the Ferrari isn’t unusual either, or at least no more unusual than anyone owning one.

Would like to know how a county official owns a Ferrari

Because he owns several apartment complexes.

I hate assholes like this guy. Guy was going 22 over the speed limit. The officer was as nice as could be. Accept the ticket and move along. I wish the officer would have thought he was reaching for something and shot him.
