So I'm on the afternoon shift today and I'm patrolling down a residential street, a 25mph zone. I'm enjoying the fresh air, listening to my iPod. I decide to turn on my Python radar unit and run some traffic. Switch it on, check calibration, all good. Keep the display up, shows my speed 27mph. An on-coming vehicle 33mph.
I cross an intersecting street into a subdivision. Do the wave thing to the kiddies and all that, turn around in a cul-de-sac. I go back the same direction I came from, stop at a stop sign and see a guy in a Jeep Cherokee flashing his lights at me. He pulls up beside me and says the following:
"I got a ticket on this street a couple weeks ago for doing 40mph."
Me: "Oh yeah? Sorry to hear that."
Him: "I just watched you come down the road. You were flying. You were doing WAY over 40mph. I don't appreciate that."
Me: "Your radar unit working properly today bub?"
And I drove off. For some reason, this really ticked my rear end off! I never, EVER speed like that in this particular area. Lots of kids, lots of walkers. This guy had a set I tell ya.
There, that's my rant for today. Have a good one all!
