The weather cleared enough to get the 996 out for about a 40 mile cruise today. I needed the outing to make up for getting a speeding ticket in my SUV on Valentine's Day - taking my son's two youngest kids to elementary school. Frunkenstein will appreciate that this was along Lamar just north of 79th, which is in the dreaded Prairie Village, KS jurisdiction. [another suburb of KC in Johnson County KS] PV has a zero-tolerance, revenue-driven law enforcement group that takes no prisoners. [many years ago, my wife got a ticket in Prairie Village for doing 38 in a 35 mph zone - truth]
I refused to stop until I at least got in front of the school, but I had to let them out in the damn snow because the eager beaver started his lights and siren, frightening my grandkids and those still on the sidewalks. What a putz.
But....the drive in the 996 today went really well...especially with the Valentine One on duty....which I plan on moving to the SUV for weekday duty tomorrow.
I'd love to go to court and confront Officer Putz, but that would be a waste of time. I'll likely hire a solicitor to bargain my way down to a non-moving violation, lest the insurance company impose a draconian increase in premium.
