… **in a construction zone** , and he asked for a “warning” instead of a ticket.

Looks like they took him straight to jail. Good for the trooper! But seriously, you have to be incredibly dumb to ask for a warning when you’re hitting triple digits…🤨🤦‍♂️

As I have been saying for many years… _Everybody has been innocent of every infraction for the past 30 years, at least._

Yes, it was originally intended as a joke, but it seems that nobody has wanted to accept responsibility for his/her own actions/inactions for… many years. Everyone seems to think that they should escape punishment, no matter what they do.

It’s called chutzpah, but that doesn’t absolve the perp of his crime. Driving that fast is bad enough that he should lose his license, at least for alittle while in Maryland, they rarely stop anyone for speeding except in construction zones.

Do you recall the old joke about the _ultimate_ in chutzpah (or, as Nixon pronounced it, “Choots Par”)?

_A young man was convicted of murder for killing both of his parents, and when the sentencing phase took place, he threw himself on the mercy of the court because he was an orphan._

Now, THAT’S chutzpah!

I was orphaned at the age of 47. This idiot could have orphaned kids. In several European countries his driver license would be revoked for life.
