Yep Oregon and Washington have become the pits (especially WA) if you get caught over the speed limit and thier unethical tactics. My ticket was pretty much for being in a Porsche in the same place and time as another that was clearly speeding and passed me and another group of cars (that I was in behind). None of the other cars in front of me was cited. This guy came from a half mile behind me and the pack of cars in front of me, swung out to the far right lane and passd us easily over 120MPH in his red Porsche. As I proceeded down the road the cops were pulling him over about a mile and half down the road and then singled my 996C4 out of a the group of cars traveling together and gave me a fatty too! BASTARD! "Speed Racing" (I was not anywhere near this guy at ANYTIME except when he passed the pack cars i was in like we were standing still. Wreckless/Carless driving for being 65 over and over 100MPH, 120MPH in 55! I was stuck in a pack of cars doing 55 in the 55.

Now that's getting a ticket just for driving in a Porsche. I chaulked it up to all a buy for the cops and all the times they never caught me.

Bill, you have a PM.

Your friend is wrong. It just depends on how far somebody wants to probe. If a court clerk pulls your driving record, it may show nothing. If DSS or FBI runs a background check on you, it will show. A dismissed juvenile speeding ticket showed up on my FBI background check. I know people who have had expunged juvenile drug and alcohol charges show up. One of those people is from near Philly.

DoubleNutz

I second your statement Flying Dog. His freind is incredibly WRONG! Law Enforcement does have EASY ACCESS to the so called "expunged convictions" and they don't even have to dig or probe deeply.

Well then i shall have to chastise him for making me look stupid on an internet forum.

LOL....

Thanx guys, i'll see what he says.

DoubleNutz,

If not for concrete barriers we would have been singing the blues last week. When he zapped me we had slowed to about 105. When the V1 first went off I thought I was dead then I saw our buddy on the other side of the highway.

Did you notice I was much more restrained after that?

Ron_H

I noticed a new form of concrete center divider while in Pennsylvania: higher than usual and not such a thick base. I also noticed that the bear-mobile roof is the only part of the car visible. Whew! The V1 goes off but he can't be focusing on me going the other way 'cause he can't even see me. Then when I returned to California, I saw the same design divider on a new highway here in Ahnald land. O happy day. That means less eyestrain for me. Only have to watch on one side and all the overpasses/onramps.

Just remember guys, even if he doesn't zap you with radar he can still nab you like i was nabbed, just by seeing you go flying by and writing you for careless driving.

I wish they used radar on me...at least i'd have some warning instead of seeing lights in my rearview miles after the fact.

DoubleNutz

Dude you were already at 105 (GT's are quick) and I was trying to play catchup so I had already runup a 110 when I caught your reds and I practically stood on the brakes! I saw him on the other side of the concrete barrier sittin back behind the bushes just before I was about to dye my seats brown!

But the V-1 just caught him before we got there was it a Ka (instant on) blast?

Yea, we mellowed out the rest of the way...but that was ok becuase the stretch of I-84 in Troutdale is paved with BACON!

Jim_H

Yep, Ka. I had ran up to 120 and had dropped down to 105. I think if we had been going much faster he would of radioed ahead to someone on the west side to harass us.
But... they didn't get to ruin our 4th
Beautiful Shark you picked up, well done.

Ron_H

Ha! Ha! Ha! Jim, I just read your statement about unbuckling my seat belt and falling on my head. Ha! Ha! That actually happened to me once in Carmel after our VW bug had been hit by a drunk and flipped over. We were hanging upside down in our belts and I released mine and fell on my head. Ha! Ha! Ha!
At least we were both still alive to talk about it. The driver of the other car ran through an intersection and the cops said she was the "town drunk"; they said every time she was arrested the judge would let her out. Sheesh!!

DoubleNutz

Actually happened to Jim a few weeks back when he flipped his GT...

DOUBLE NUTZ,

You are correct about expungement. The infor neve goes away. However... it does go away in a legal sense. That info can be pulled lets so for a Secret clearance or a background check and the agency requesting the information can hold it against you. However legalisticaly I dont think the info can be used against you in a court of law, it was expunged. Of course doesn't mean you wont make the pick this guy up and bring him in for questioning list.

I am thinking of retiring in Oregon. Hummm

DoubleNutz

Yes, this is correct, and like I said agencies that have access to this information don't even have to dig deep or look very far to find it, everything is kept your entire natural born life...it never goes away.
