I don't believe this!!!

Last night on my way home I received something I thought extinct. I haven't seen one in almost 23 years.
A warning from a cop instead of a ticket. Busted me for 65 in a 50. It's a major thoroughfare in Orlando, and it was about midnight. No radar or laser, just by pacing me from following. Completely unmarked car, two cops in what looked to be full battle gear ... ok not quite. But he let me go with a warning.

ummm...wow!
and thanks for saving me a few hundred bucks!!

How late was it? I've got pulled over a few times late on Saturday night and I'm pretty sure the cops were just fishin for drunks. When they saw I was sobre they let me go with a warning (one time when I had a busted tail light, I'd been speeding and didn't have proof of insurance in the truck).

I got nuthin

Pacing you leaves too many open ends. I'll bet, it might have been a different story if, he had radar.

personally, I think they were "drunk trolling" given the time of night, saw I was speeding, no radar to back it up, I was less than 100ft from my house when I hit the turn signal and they took a shot..
"damn this drunk drives pretty good"
ran my plates, saw I was home, decided to check me out closer....nothing to see here...let's give him a warning.
"Do me a favor and slow down...and don't count on the radar detector so much next time"
I'm surprised he didn't ask to search the car.
I would have been there all night if that were the case,

It could have been worse; They might have given you a job that required moving to Chicago.

My Warning Story,

Driving to Deland a while back, on a country road I see flashing lights out ahead of me so I start to slow down. When I get there it's a motorcycle cop standing in the road waving me to the side.

He comes to the window and asks if I know why he's stopping me. I said "No Idea". He said I was doing 67 in a 55. I replied that I wasn't doing 57.

He said, OK, I'll give you a warning this time. I almost said, FOR WHAT???? but then realized that it was only going to cost me a couple minutes in time and nothing more so I kept the mouth shut. (Major accomplishment!!)

I think he was fishing for something else. Why bother with the warning? If I wasn't drunk or hauling a load, why not just let me go?

True story!

I've been pulled over plenty of times. I've talked my way out of about half of my tickets, even one DUI, years ago on my motorcycle.
It's a different world now. But I'm also a middle aged dude now. They don't pull me over much anymore. I don't even drive differently with one behind me now.

Glad you got a warning.

Very true and amazing:

Summer 2006 I was in El Paso, TX working on a project. One morning I was late for a meeting in the desert (McNary) 70 miles east of El Paso. I picked up some metal stuff that was poking out of the rear load window of the rented Ford Expedition I had and proceeded to the meeting on the I-10 at a steady pace of 115 mph. I was still doing that when I was clocked by a texas State Trooper. All I was able to say very quickly was:

Meeting...UPRR...train on siding...late...Border Patrol waitng...Big trouble....I'm sorry!!!!!

...and I got away with a warning and advice to get there late but alive. Truly amazing - the speed limit there is 80 mph.

I got a warning a couple of years ago for doing 142Km/hr in a 90 zone,...from a FEDERALE. True story. I passed him going the other way. It took him a while to get turned around on the narrow road and then he had to follow me for a while until I could find a place to pull over. I was thinking of 1000 pesos as an opening offer. Then he showed me the radar gun and I thought "maybe 2000 pesos." The guy said "Please drive slower on our highways" and let me go; it still just seems like a dream. Maybe he was a djin.
