Most major cities and even DPS are still hiring! Every job needs a few perks. My favorite joke used to be that I not only did not get ticketed for driving 100 mph on loop 410, but I got paid for it.

That generally works for Fire and EMS as well, though the ones I know "accidentally" display their credentials as they're "trying to find" their TDL.

Doesn't really bother me, every job has its perks.

Yeah, I'd really love a job where I can break the law and get away with it!

You got room for one more in that club?

I'm so mad about it...but it's my fault, so my anger is with myself. LEO was just doing his job.

I'm curious...am I the only one who says "Thank you!" when I get a ticket? Why am I thanking him for a $200 fine?!?

Well, I had my first chance to show my CHL to a LEO today. I took a different route in to work because I slept in a little bit (no one was going to be in, I took advantage). Two motorcycle cops sat at the bottom of a hill on the road outside of my subdivision. Perfect spot to catch people who weren't smart enough to ride their brakes.

Handed CHL, DL, and PoI to the Officer. I commented on his PDA that he was using to scan my license. He asked if I was carrying...I told him it was in the glove box (can't carry at work). He was very formal and gave me a ticket for 44 in a 30. I was pulled over by an officer standing in the road. There was no way to avoid it. haha

I got pulled over and got my ticket in under 3 minutes. That's service!
