Stand up for the Speed Limit

Stand up for the Speed Limit

Williamson County Sheriff, Robert Chody, shared this picture of a real deputy who runs speed traps in school zones and his cardboard cut out doppelganger. The skinny one stands on the roadside in school zones. Since placing the cardboard deputy in a school zone, the sheriff told KTBC that there hasn’t been one person caught speeding. As drivers approached the cutout, Chody said, “they were all breaking,” which is the goal of the cutout. In Arizona, mannequins holding radar guns were dressed in Tucson Police Department uniforms and placed in front of motorcycles on street corners.

A blonde was speeding in a 35 mile per hour zone when a local police officer pulled her over and walked up to the car. The officer also happened to be a blonde and she asked for the blonde driver’s license. The driver searched frantically in her purse for a while and finally said to the blonde policewoman, “What does a driver’s license look like?” Irritated, the blonde cop said, “You dummy, its got your picture on it!” The blonde driver frantically searched her purse again and found a small, rectangular mirror down at the bottom. She held it up to her face and said, “Aha! This must be my driver’s license” and handed it to the blonde policewoman. The blonde cop looked in the mirror, handed it back to the driver and said, “You’re free to go. And, if I had known you were a police officer too, we could have avoided all of this.”

Alabama State Troopers were chasing a Mustang east on I-20 toward Georgia. When the suspect crossed the Georgia line, the first trooper pulled over quickly. The rookie trooper pulled in behind him and said, “Hey, sarge, why did you stop?” The sarge replied, “Forget it, he’s in Georgia now. They’re an hour ahead of us, so we’ll never catch him.”

A policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but was not getting many. Then, he discovered the problem; a 10 year old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign which read, “SPEED TRAP AHEAD”. The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a sign painted “TIPS” and a bucket of change.
