Kansas is probably the worst state i have ever ridden thru....not because of police but because it's the flatist, windiest, corn infested, boring state there is in the U.S.A. We have been in 42 of the 50 U.S. states and i will always try to avoid Kansas when we head west......I guess it's good to know the police are as unforgiving as the scenery is......




Life is Great...We all Ride!!!!!!.......thru Colorado preferably.....

if you had on your rubie riding boots and clicked your heels together 3 times while saying there is no place like home you and your little dog toto wouldnt of been in that mess

 

Just curious, where in the great state of Kansas were you?

 

Just an FYI for you folks...some LE folks could verify this one as well, but in most cases your typical traffic stops will generally take 20-30 minutes if not more. You would think it would be justaquick simple thing, pull vehicle over, run the plates, get out of car, issue ticket/verbal warning, get back in squad and go. Unfortunately it's not that simple...it takes a bit of time to get information back from dispatch/computer system on vehicle registration, not only that but they then have to wait on the driver's information such as outstanding warrants and the like.

I can't blame you for being upset about being held up by johnny law when you are trying to outrun a bad storm...have been caught in similar situations myself (less the lawman). All you can do in these situations unfortunately is bite the bullet and pay the ticket should you get stopped for speeding. Kansas isn't the only state you can find yourself in that situation...it can honestly happen just about anywhere.

 

Many, many, times !!

 

Sleepman, I think if you read the title and the thesis "bias", you would understand it was not the ticket he is complaining about. He is pissed because the cager should of gotten a ticket too for speeding.

 

great?

 

30 min.to write a f'en ticket?Sounds like Kansas cops need something to do.Try that stalling around in any other job and you will have to answer for it.Who's paying the cop's wages,retirement plan,medical benefits,etc.?Just write the dam ticket and get back to work slacker!

 

Doesn't take 30 minutes to write a speeding ticket. In the 80's I wrote 22 in one eight hour shift.

 

I don't know of many storms that move 80 mph. 45-50 at best, I'd say you got what you deserved, and I don't live in Kansas.
