Last weekend the fiancee and I took the truck to Las Vegas to finalize arrangements and put a deposit down for the chapel at Golden Nugget casino, yep, we're going to get married. We were there for just the one day and night. The next day and night was to be spent in Williams Arizona (100% chance of snow) We headed out about 10:00AM and just as we were leaving Henderson Nevada, I seen the the Henderson police
on a bike (I think a BMW but not sure) shooting radar. You guessed it, i'm doing 66 in a 45, DAMN!
He pulls me over and comes to the passenger window which I had rolled down already. He said he had me on lazer doing 66 in a 45, I said in amazement 'No way'
He then asked for the usual, which I had and handed it over to him. As he was back at his bike, i'm thinking of how much this ticket will be. He came back a few minutes later and said 'I have good news and bad news, which do you want first?' I said give me the bad news first. He said 'You were speeding' OK, so what's the good news? I'm letting you off with a warning.
I said 'Thanks alot officer' and he said 'Slow it down, speed is 45 here and 35 up the road. Speed does not get to 65 till your in that other state' meaning Arizona. WHEW!
It wasn't till an hour later we pulled over for some gas and I went to the rest room when I seen in the mirror, I was wearing my Police Unity shirt that had a police badge and black ribbon over the badge stenciled on it. I wonder if that shirt had anything to do with the warning?
