- While heading into Morristown NJ from where I live in PA I had just
- crossed in to NJ on I-80. A state trooper was buried in
- the median by an overpass and I sailed by him at +65, well
- I knew he head me dead nuts so I drifted over 4 lanes as
- soon as he pulled out, didn't even turn his lights on as
- I pulled onto the shoulder, trooper was very polite and I
- had license, insurance card and reg all ready for him and
- he said "You registered doing 70" I said "Yea, I wanted
- to get past the 15 tractor trailers I've been stuck behind
- for the last 12 miles on the two lane section" and he headed
- back to his car, came back 5 minutes later and no ticket.
- Then the passenger gets out, sargeant type, and walks up to
- me after his (I then found out) student/cadet got back in
- to the car and says " What unit are you with" to which I replied
- "An artillery unit in Morristown NJ" his reply was
- "The reason youre not getting a ticket is because you were
- cooperative and showed cadet xxxxx how a good stop goes"
- and he continued "I also know that truck of yours and have
- seen it for quite a while, if I catch you again at +66,
- my brother, your first sargeant, will have your ass in addition
- to the ticket" smiled and walked away. Being in uniform can cut
- both ways.
