Traveling cross-country while in the Navy - I got nailed doing eighty in a 55 driving my Firebird. Bubble-gum machine done hit the jackpot!
The cop was ex-Navy, too. He had just made seargent, and had gotten the then-new instant-on radar - by the time my detector buzzed - too late!
We sat in his car, trading war-stories (I had precious few - hadn't gone to sea yet), and he showed me how all the neat cop-stuff worked. We were guy-bonding. I figured "No problem, we're buddies now. No ticket!"
Wrong - still got the ticket! Bummer.
I haven't been back to Naw'lins since.
