What made this otherwise "routine" speed trap notable is that the officer was unusually curteous and went to extreme lenghts to explain & justify the stop even using "racial profiling" to explain that if it was up to him he’d let me off but since I was white he could not, otherwise black motorists might "sue the township on the base of racial profiling". Even more surprising was the fact that he promised he could keep the ticket off my record if I would just pay it normally and allow him to "work things out with the court clerk". All I had to do was to send my check in and call him (the officer) in 2 weeks to remind him to "handle" the matter. As it turns out this was all just a ploy to make me swollow the ticket & not contest it… I did everything the officer asked and the ticket is now ON MY RECORD… another "sucker motorist" nailed … incidentally, in the meantime the officer in question was promoted to sergeant, no doubt to reward him for his contribution to the state’s & township’s coffers.
