120 in a 60 - No ticket

so I've had the Evo for 7 days and finally got caught doing 100-120 on the freeway in my city, but anyways it was a CHP and he finally caught up to me bout a mile off of the freeway. He said he was coming up the on ramp and saw me go by real fast. i said i was doing 70 and that he probably just "thought" i was going fast cuz he was just starting to accel(up the on ramp) then i asked him if he radared me (cuz my V1 didn't go off) and he said "no" so i said "yeah i was going 70" and he looks at my licence and insurance then looks at the car and says "well you seem like a nice guy, so im just gonna give you a verbal waring, and just make sure to keep an eye on your speedometer"

also on a side note when my buddy had his first Evo he got pulled over three times, all verbal warings

we both had apex silver ones no mods

that's what's wrong with cops. they don't get tickets to the people that deserve them, they give them to the people who do stupid **** like 80 in a 60 at midnight or the dude that has his radio turned up.

They shouldn't write speeding tickets at all. They should ticket you severly if you cause an accident. Writing tickets for speeding, is akin to punishing you for a crime simply because you have the capacity for it. Speeding doesn't kill, hitting a tree or another car does.

Unhappy

WTF? When everytime I get pulled over I get ticket no matter what. Sometimes I get more than 1 ticket at the same time! Once I even got pulled over for 30% tint!
I really agree that GOD is on your side...

for me it's like
number of times got pulled over < number of ticket
It's not like Ima teenager or something I'm like freaking 30 and still get pulled over and ticketed like crazy.

well, congrats for not getting ticket
