http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/bizarre/4834736.html Trooper accused of on-duty tryst with p*rn actress fired NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A state trooper accused of letting a drug charge slide in exchange for oral sex from a p*rn star has been fired, the Tennessee Highway Patrol said Thursday. The state also is considering criminal charges against James Randy Moss related to her claims that he threw away her bottle of prescription pills before their alleged encounter, Department of Safety spokesman Mike Browning said. Moss has not indicated whether he would contest his firing and did not immediately return a message left at his home Thursday evening. Moss was suspended earlier this week while the THP investigated the claims from the woman, who goes by stage name Barbie Cummings. The department received an internal complaint about the allegations that were described on the p*rn star's blog. The blog has been temporarily moved to another Web address and did not carry a full description of the tryst Thursday night. Cummings, 21, has not returned calls for comment. According to the citation issued by Moss, he stopped the woman's pink Honda Accord for speeding outside Nashville on May 7. The citation identifies the woman by her legal name, Justis Richert. The woman wrote on her blog that when the officer asked her if she had drugs in the car, she admitted to having some "happy pills." Moss' citation does not mention finding any illegal narcotics in the car. The woman wrote that she told the officer that she made dirty movies, and they watched sex videos from her Web site using a laptop computer in his patrol car. He took the pills and scattered them in the brush beside the highway, she said. "Then he asks me, what does it cost for someone like me to get anything like you," she wrote. She described performing oral sex on the officer outside his car in a secluded area. Photos that appear to be video stills she said he took during the incident and posted on her blog show her face but nothing that identifies the man as a trooper.
You may be lucky he bumped you down from 15 over to 12 over. The fine would probably have been a lot more, and possibly hurt your record more. A license plate violation probably isn't a moving violation. Moving violations is what jacks up your insurance. And there is a new law about plate frames, you're not supposed to have anything on the plate, including frames.
I've gotten a few warnings lately, but in the past, I got several speeding tickets, which I deserved and payed. The last time I got pulled over, was by a Trooper in Beaumont. I was a bit irked at a slow moving van that cut me off in the left lane, (I wasn't speeding either). I punched my truck to get around him quick since the gap in the right lane was closing up. Well, I didn't use my turn signal, and there was a Trooper merging onto the freeway right behind me. At that point, I was going too fast, and slowed down a bit. I saw the Trooper pass a car on the shoulder, and I knew he had me. I hoped that he just saw that I didn't use my turn signal, and didn't catch me speeding. Well, to be courteous, I turned on my truck bed light, and rolled down all 4 windows so they could see in easily, before they got to my truck, and turned on the interior lights. I had my wife in the passenger seat, and a wedding ring on my finger, which was resting on the window ledge, in plain view. The two Troopers checked me over, and gave me a warning for not using the turn signal. That's a rare case for me, but my record has been clean for many years now. Just don't be in a hurry, you rarely save very much time anyway.
A couple of years ago, I got pulled over in a trap for people who weren't wearing seat belts. They had about 6 people pulled over. I was wearing a shirt that was almost the same color as the belt and my tie was flopped over it. The officer told me I was pulled over for not wearing a seat belt. I respectfully told him that I was wearing it (I had been). He stated that I must have just put it on. I responded "no sir. I was wearing it the whole time. Perhaps it blended in with my shirt." He took a look and said "maybe so," and he let me go. Generally if you are respectful to the officer and use words like sir, you will be better off.
