That’s one fine officer, I’m going to name my kid (insert name) after him. :P
Another of my Dad’s favorite jokes—
A draftee arrived at Ft. Jackson, and when getting his name tags for his uniforms, wrote “R. B. Jones” The Sarge said he must write his full name. “That’s it, just my two initials – R. B.” The Sarge tells him that he must put (only) after each initial to avoid confusion for all of his Army records. When he received his name tags they read “Ronly Bonly Jones”…..
Funny, sure. But it has really happened. I knew an Air Force pilot who was renamed P(only) W(only).

TBG believes that it is sad that one’s most positive lifetime interaction with government is a speeding citation and subsequent fine.
Having said that, TBG notes that the officer and magistrate in his latest speeding escapade, also cut him some slack.
TBG wonders if the policy has changed or if Will and he were treated better because they are…um…older.
Could be —- or they are commentators on Fitsnews and treated Will with courtesy — or else the cop wrote the ticket to “our founding editor” ….
As a reformed chronic speeder, I can say they usually cut people a little slack. Unless the driver or the officer is just a dick.

An all points bulletin has been issued by LE in SC. Will Folks has been kidnapped and the perps have highjacked his web site and are writing posts under his name.

May I suggest using your night-stick, Officer?
Ha! One of My all-time favorites.
“They called me “Agent Orange.”
lol…the funny thing is that in today’s society Murphy wouldn’t have gotten the chance to suggest it under those circumstances….it would have already been done(or a taser).

I wonder how many other people get let off when they don’t have their SCDL with them?
I’ve personally known two people to get pulled over and not have their license on them at the time, and neither got a ticket for that. Seems like an offense that you can usually not get charged for if you’re nice to the officer, but I suppose that doesn’t work for every officer/department.

They’ll rape you in Mauldin. Don’t drive there.
Now that’s a low blow, Nolff. Though its probably true.
What about the Pickens breathalyzer? I remember that story from college.

Is writing this government positive article part of your sentence/punishment?

Forest Acres definitely ain’t the Independent Banana Republic of Myrtle Beach. Down here the LEO’s would first forcefully remove you from your vehicle (while your still wearing your seatbelt); perform a textbook body slam to the asphalt; taser you from behind, the whole time claiming you were not following their instructions; they would then transport to their fine centralized holding facility called J Ruben Long, where you under go a full body and cavity search, you’er then dressed in a one size fits all orange jump suit and held until one of fine members of the judical system orders you held without bond while they search your vehicle for “unauthorized” products.
I wish this was true but I had a client that went through that very process. The unauthorized product they found were two Advil’s. Bond was eventually set at $10,000–when I tried to get the charges dropped (Advil aren’t illegal last time I looked) I was told that any medicine not in its proper container could be considered violation of the various controlled substance laws and the arresting office did not want to reduce or drop the charges (hell he wanted jail time for “illegal possession” of Advil–I kid you not!!).
I’ll save everyone the details but over a year later we went to trial and it took the jury less than a hour to find my client innocent. On the way out of court a local LEO looked at me and “warned” me that I need to be careful next time I’m in Horry county. That was several years ago. I have tried several cases down there since and still have the impression that local LEO’s, lawyers and many of the judges seem to make up laws and how they will be enforced on the fly. Good thing I take my vacations out of state.
Badged bureaucrats are lower dregs than even the worst of the simple goldbricks and incompetents.

But to the main story, wasn’t Forest Acres the department with the deviant cop, or the more notorious deviant cop? (In a Fits story of a year or two ago.)

Lucky you weren’t in Columbia arguing about your dry cleaning bill.

I’m sure that 42mph was bordering on reckless. Glad to see you thankful to your masters that the chains weigh on you lightly Mr. Goldilocks Libertarian.
I love reading pieces championing prosecution for victimless crimes.
When can we expect a piece on why the drug war isn’t that bad, and winnable?
