Angry Nice...

Got a freakin speeding ticket this weekend... Was taking the H1 exit from H3, to head back to Hickam AFB, and didn't realize the speed limit dropped from 55 to 35... They got me, with Laser, doing 59 in a 35... YAY! *** MY LIFE!

ya, those cops that wait for you there are douchebags. 99% of the people on this island (cops and their entire families as well) maintain their 55 mph speed in those sections because in all honesty it's more dangerous to slow down to 35 mph in those sections of the highway.
I've been caught in a similar speed trap and this one had 3 motorcycle cops waiting right behind a 50 mph sign pulling over every single person driving down that road. I was told the speed limit was 35mph until i passed the sign so i was hit with a 17mph over the limit ticket. 52 in a 35.
I'm all for keeping the roads safe but when it looks like the highway, acts like the highway, and 99% of the people on the road are going 50mph before they pass the sign, then let them be. In these situations the cops aren't trying to make the roads any safer. They're just trying to meet their quotas.
Let's hear from some cops and don't tell me i just need to follow the law because I would bet my life that most cops and their family members would also drive the same way i did.
*end rant*

The thing that chaps my @$$ most, is the car right in front of me, and right behind me were going just as fast, and they skated by, without a second thought from the cops.

Must have been profiling, since I'm in a sports car... hmmm.... Let the soccer mom in the minivan go, and the douchebag in the SUV, who was riding my @$$ go, but let's get the sports car, cuz he looks like he was speeding...

Yep, my dad was tagged there as well. The cop was posted right behind the 35mph sign, and he had no time to slow done. As previously mentioned you have no time to slow done so your gonna get tagged every time
