I-10 through Sutton county Texas

Sonora, Texas•Jun 15, 2015•1 Comments

I was on I-10 passing through West Texas and had my cruise control set at 80 mph, which was the posted speed limit going through this area. My Garmin GPS also displayed that I was going exactly 80 mph. Out of nowhere, a state trooper merged on to I-10 as I was passing an exit (still on cruise control), sped up right behind me, and pulled me over. The trooper said I was going 91 mph, which I knew to be absolutely false. I tried to plead with him somewhat, but he just ignored me. I had no choice but to sign the ticket. I truly believe I was singled out simply because I was from out of state. He obviously saw my license plate and knew he could get away with it, as he knew I would have to appear in Sutton county court to contest it. And even then, it would be his word against mine.

Same story as everyone else. I had cruise set at speed limit. Pulled over and told I was doing 11mph over. I knew I was screwed when I saw the cop had mirrored sun glasses and still carried a big old hog-leg revolver. If you have out of state plates might as well just stop at the court house and hand them $200 on your way through.
