If Colorado is anything like Florida then yeah he did you a favor by
writing you up for less than you were actually doing....Fine & points
wise.   No, I don't think you'll find this cop in hell.   He could have
written
the ticket for the full amount & cost you more.   If this had happened to
me, here in Florida, I would have just accepted the fact that I was guilty
& said "Thank you for saving me some money. Have a nice day, Officer".
Because the Cop does his job & catches you breaking the law, writes
you a ticket for less than he could have, you think he's an @$$hole?
Get real!

Subject: Cops ARE robbers


>There is nothing wrong with complaining about the worthless antics of cops
on the highway.  Here I am, driving 85 mph on a road whose speed limit
should be 95 mph.  A cop stops me and writes a ticket for 75 mph in a 65
mph.  And I'm supposed to think he did me a favor?!

I'll get shot if I don't.  The sad part is after I run into a bus load of
handicapped kids on the way to church, I'll burn in Hell.  And I'll see all
my cop "buddies" there!
