How about a true life story on beating a speeding ticket.
I admit I was speeding at the time this occurred
I was speeding on the freeway, when I looked in the rear view mirror and see a highway patrolman "clocking" me. I knew I was going to get a ticket, so I pulled off to the side of the freeway. The officer gets out of his car and starts asking me questions-Do you have any warrents, is your car currently registered, etc.,
I looked at him and told him that I knew he hadn't ran my license plate before getting out of his car. He became pretty embarrassed and admitted he hadn't. He asked how I knew. I told him that I used to work for a local Police Dept, and hadn't seen him using the patrol unit's radio, before stopping me. I told him that I also knew because of the type of questions he was asking me.
Anyway, I gave him my license and registration and reassured him that I didn't have any warrents, etc.
The Officer went back to his car, ran my driver's license, and came back to my car. He then mentioned that he was going to write me a ticket, because I wasn't wearing a seatbelt. I showed him that I was, in fact, wearing a seatbelt. Because I am very short, the shouder strap sometimes becomes very loose and will fall off my shoulder, although the lap strap will stay in place.
The officer had this funny look on his face and told me, "You're not going to let me write you a ticket for anything aren't you. I told him no. The officer started laughing, told to me to "slow down", when I got back on the road and to have a great day
