So I was coming from Torrington back to Woodbury/Bethlehem going back roads through Litchfield. There was a car in front of me & I didnt make a full stop at the stop sign coming into Morris (not that any of you know where I'm talking about.
Anyhow, I pull up to the 4 way stop and see the car in front of me was a cop. He turns left and then I make a full stop and go strait. As he isnt behind me I pick up some good speed to put some distance between he and myself in case he decides to turn around. In a little bit i begin to see headlights in my rear-view so I slow down to the speed limit before this car is anywhere near me (in case it is a or the cop). So it is and he pulls me over. says he had me doing 70 in a 40 but is going to give me 60 in a 40 so I dont get reckless driving. I never argue with cops I will deal with it in court so i took the 200 dollar ticket and went on my merry way (especially since I had had a few drinks that night and didnt want to test any boundaries with the po po 5-0.
Anyhow, there is no way he got me on radar at any time, and I slowed down when he was more than a half mile away from me & just coming around a bend. there is no way in hell he paced me. Im sure he knew I was going above the speed limit in some fashion as it took him some speed to get me in his sights but he had to have pulled those specific speeds out of his ass. Any of you have a better explanation of where he came up with those numbers, because I can not see any other way he could have gotten them. He did the pen thing with my eyes and probably could tell I had a drink or two maybe that was his way of "letting me off easy"
going to send it in not guilty and have my chat in court... just a PITA dealing with this stuff:unamused:
