.22?? Man, that's impressive in some circles!! I can't agree with you more though, I was raised being told always tell the truth, and that's what LEO's want to hear....the truth. We don't like hearing that you pay our salaries, or that you know councilmen, because it infuriates us to no end.
On the other side of the coin, a friend of mine returned home shortly before Christmas from over there. His adjustment to life, his wife and kids, has been not the best. Fortunately his driving skills are intact! I always remember that who I'm dealing with has the same problems I do, if not, worse. Sometimes the most careful driver can have a moment where they space out and forget what the speed limit is.
Strangely enough, when it comes to PC, I was clocked by a Maine State Trooper for 92 in a 65. This was the first year my Caliber and I were on vacation, and I didn't realize how fast I was going because it was so smooth. He was outside of his vehicle handing a summons to some other poor driver, and saw me.....then got me. He asked for license, noticed my PD jacket in the backseat and asked for my credentials. Went back to his car and came back with a ticket.
I keep a copy of that summons in my glove compartment now.
