[quote Ktrout]I am curious for those of you who think the law is the law and there is nothing else to it, how would you feel if you got a speeding ticket for going 47 in a 45 mph zone while driving to fishing with your completely valid fishing license? The law is the law but most officers choose to use discretion when no harm is being done like Jacksonman was saying. I don't blame the officer but do think it was overkill to write this ticket. It also doesn't make a difference what I or anyone else thinks, since we are not the ones writing tickets.[/quote]
Read my post on this. Don't know about that 2 mile difference as tires will make a difference although speedometer is reading the same.
I would think it would take at least 5 mile difference. And yes I have got as ticket for 5 miles over.
It is great to get cut some slack, and that depends on the individual, all I am saying is the law is the law and they are NOT required to cut that slack and really doing nothing wrong BY enforcing it.
Where do you draw the line? I trip over some line, look down and it is attached to a spool with other end in the water. So I think it fell off and start reeling it in...A guy comes jumping out of the bushes and says it is his . He had a license....but apparently had a few of these lying around....Slap his hand? Give him a warning?
Again, cool to get that warning and it does happen, but don't be pi$$ed if they don't....now if they slap you around!!![laugh][laugh]
