Speeding tickets??? I have not had one since yesterday but before that it was 1987. Headed for San Antonio to see my son & do a trade. Cruise set at 74 w/ just daylight between the needle & the 75 marker on speedometer. Did not slow down when entering the 60 mph zone & guess who I met. DL & CHL out as he approached on the passenger side. Told him I was armed & he asked where. 3:00 under my shirt. Just keep your hands where I can see them please. Ok.
Mr Young, stopped you for your speed. Usual do you knows & a little personal conversation while writing. My son in the military & his nephew. Never another word of my weapon. Instruction on contacting the judge. All took about 5 min. at $50.00 a minute. Man this needs to be double posted in NEVER AGAIN.

Go that way to see my son in Alamo town. I will take you up on that for sure. Thanks 300. I like your screen name & understand the significance.
Good shooting.

See the judge and ask for deferred adjudication, or the ability to take defensive driving. Don't just pay it outright.

Okay, fella's. Now I'm curious, what's the big secret?? Or is this a super-secret "brotherhood" type of thing?

I have the paper work for that on my desk. It states I get 90 extra days. I am in the process. As stated in another post that said I should have told him I was a preacher & maybe that would help, not interested in joining the circle of folks who think the world owes them a living when they do nothing right & a pass when they do something wrong. Kinda like the crew I am surrounded w/. Now any other suggestions from anyone that will save another $$ will be very welcome. The time to do all this is going to be another long time reminder too.
OH well. I have learned. I assure you.

Well Whats the JP 's Name I grow up running these areas and was a LEO in LEE county for a few years . the Chief Deputy for Lee is my Wife's 2nd cousin, So I have a little pull. but the best thing is to take a DD Class and get it off your Driving record.
Well I think I have given you all the Advice as I can,other then watch out for the speed trap in Lee,bastrop,Fayette,Caldwell,and Gonzales counties.

Given that the law has nothing to with truth or justice, anything you can do to beat it is OK. After all, anything they can do to beat you is OK so it's just application of the law of reciprocity. Cops get really p*ssed off when they they think you are lying to them, but they are allowed to tell you anything that will scare/wheedle/cajole/intimidate you into incriminating yourself. When you tell them something that's not true it's lying. When they do it to you it's permissible deception. You are under no obligation take the legal consequences of anything if you can beat it. If this sounds cynical, OK. When it comes to legal issues I am a cynic without apologies. We all know there are 2 systems of "justice"- one for those who can afford adequate representation, and another for those who can't. BTW, I live a rather quiet and boring life. Any dealings with the law are to be avoided.
