Lots of friends having run-ins with local and state authorities for bogus and lame infractions once overlooked now seen as a source of income to offset our state's growing debt.

Case 1: one of the bartenders at our restaurant runs out to feed his meter. Parked behind him a meter"person". With six minutes left, he pops in four more quarters without attitude which would more than enough time beyond the 6:00P time limit. After his shift, he goes back to his car and finds a ticket. Ready for his BS?! Got a $25 ticket for having his rear wheel (and I quote), "19-1/4 inches away from the curb". Granted the drivers' handbook states 18" from the curb. This person got out a RULER and measured the distance from his wheels to the curb.

Case 2: Weekday mid morning... our good friends are headed to LA on I5 south. He drives like a "granny" most of the time. Traffic is light. He gets jumped by CHP and pulled over. The officer pulls him over and stating that he "paced him going 86mph". When did ANYONE get pulled over going 86 on I5???


Be careful out there everyone. California is looking to make it's share of money back off of their drivers. Keep one eye on the road and the other on the rear view mirror.

I got pulled over tonight!

I was amazed at first and slightly upset cause I was doing like 68mph and in a line of traffic when it happened.

However, it was NOT for speeding, my Tailights arent working!!! He just told me to put on my hazzards and drive in the right lane slow, so I did, and thanked him for telling me and doing a good job Nice guy too.

Saw my first EVO on the road today!

Silver and on the side of the road with a CHP standing next to the window.

I saw more cops on the road today between Walnut Creek and Orinda than I have seen in the last few months combined. They were crawling 24 and out in force in WC.

Ya the cops are everywhere because of the high alert the country is on. I went out on saturday to go to the Baker Beach meet and then desided just to stay home the rest of the weekend, including monday. Watch some film and play my PS2. There i don't get speeding tickets.

Yeah, they were swarming today. I woke up in Vacaville at 7:15 this morning.. not gonna be easy to make it to Folsom by 8:00! So, I did 85 the whole way. Didn't see a thing all the way through Solano and Yolo. Saw a cop with someone pulled over just past the causeway and thought 'hey, that was lucky, he missed me!' Then, not too far after the 50 split, I see a motorcycle officer standing next to his bike on the shoulder, apparently after having released someone. 'That was pretty close too... glad I am late!' I thought. THEN, just past Rancho, I see a THIRD cop handing over a ticket. At this point, I know I should slow down, but hell, I'm only like 3 minutes from the Folsom exit, so I chance it. Made it without incident. After that, efvery time I was hauling ***, I was dead in the middle of a pack of WRXs, and who is gonna notice litle old me in my RS?
