this is the very basic outline (i have five page explation)
of the event. it's cost me LOTS of money, my respect for the police, and a good chunk of sanity. i dont expect to get a break when i speed, that is understandable. however, recent sighting of
the county police on the road, and
just not doing their job while breaking laws at the exact same time has made me even more bitter. it's true that when speak about the police comes about, im down right ornery. however, on other topics i only state and defend my position. the fairfax county police have seriously fucked up my life because of their egos. i however have found the state police to be good people.
