I dont believe that cop who got you just appeared in thin air.

Well, of course he didn't. Have you ever traveled between Carlsbad, NM and Odessa, TX? there is no place to hide, but plenty of places to blend in.

What I left out of this story is, we didn't get a ticket. The officer was polite and friendly, as I'm sure a camera would not be.

BTW, with or without a ticket, we would not have needed to replay events. We KNEW we were speeding.

I once drove from Pecos to Ft.Stockton at over 90 MPH when my grandfather died. I had my flashers on for the sake of other drivers, but totally expected a ticket. Personal issues are No defense to breaking the law.

Cameras don't change the facts, they are just lazy.

RE:”Personal issues are No defense to breaking the law.”

Who said they were? I said the complete opposite. To have to repeat, When we got those tickets its because we were not paying attention.

Now you tell me the cop didn’t cite you for ‘breaking the law’ even though he caught you, as you put it.

If you are not smarter than a highly visible and well known (published location) traffic trap cam, then you deserve a simple fine.
