I have to vent this. Sky cops got me.
I got to The Rock back on the 19th. Anyone who has been/currently is stationed here knows they have a large 4 lane road just past the gate going into the heart of the base that is on a hill. Flash forward two days, I am driving off base for maybe the 2nd time. I get to the top of the hill going down, and I hit 35 so I let off the gas and coast just about all the way to the gate. As I approach, the blue lights flash and I get pulled over. I'm thinking random inspection. So I pull over, and the rent-a-cop comes up and asks me if I know why I was pulled over. I politely say no, I did not. He says I was speeding. So I say, "I'm pretty sure I wasn't, the speed limit is 35 right?" He says yeah, but you were going 42. So at this point, I have the "Are you shitting me, 7 over?" look on my face. But here is the part that blew my mind. He says "When I first clocked you when you first came over the hill, you were going 35, but by the time you got to the bottom of the hill, you were going 42." I say, OK, let me play the dumb, new LT card. It doesn't work, and I get slapped with a 7 over ticket. As he gives it to me, he says "Just remember sir, we are here to ensure your safety." At least the shirt laughed when I give it to him.
