This morning I was pulled over on Hwy 377 on my way to work at the intersection of Watauga Rd.  I was driving between 30 and 35 miles per hour.  As you may already know, the traffic in this area of town is extremely congested and its difficult to even do the speed limit.  There is almost always a Watauga DPS officer parked in the Edward's used car lot entrance.  I've often wondered why in the world a DPS officer would sit there, because there is no way people could be speeding in this area.

So I pull up to the light and stop with a string of cars in front of and behind me.  The officer wedges his way between the car behind me and when the light turns green he turns on his lights.  I pulled over and was issued a citation for doing 60 in a 45.

I'll be posting more about this after I go to court, as I don't want anything that happened to be made public information in case this officer reads this blog.  Also, if there is corruption in the department for a Judge to be clued in before I get there.  Let me just say this.  I was most certainly given a ticket that I did not deserve and there is no possible way a reasonable police officer would have issued it.

Wish me luck.  I've been advised fighting a ticket with these guys is almost impossible even with a video of the cop beating you in the forehead.  We've lost almost all of our rights in this country and I plan to do whatever is necessary to protect mine before we are renamed Amerika.
