What is the name of your state? MI
I seem to remember 5 years ago or so when i got pulled over the cop would actually ask for an explanation and talk to you a little, like they were actually trying to get you to slow down. Since a few tickets 5 years ago (when i was 16 or 17) i have slowed down.
Recently while driving my parents car to work ( a new maxima 265 HP ) i was pulled over, i had no idea the car was moving 62 in a 40 i would have guessed maybe 40 or 45, the thing is just so quiet. I told the police officer that i had a baby on the way in a couple weeks (which is true) and that an insurance hike would kill me (i make 12 dollars an hour while i study pre-law). I told him that i would donate twice the amount of the ticket to the united way if he would please forgive me this once (of course i never stated that i was speeding though). He said no, it seemed like a fair deal to me.
So to the officers on this board, are you guys instructed to be ticket machines, or can you show compassion if you want to?
