Holy Ticket Batman

[Megan Bigelow]

whoa there leadfoot! something that comes to mind with this situation is that
the officer claimed that he shot you going 70 mph. now unless i done learned
them wrong, my basic math skills tell me that he is, in effect, claiming you
DOUBLED the speed limit. is this not grounds for impoundment and arrest? why did
he not do these to you if, as he claims, you were doing 70 in a 35? something to
ponder..

ps-where on spear st was this?
