That is also one of the first photoshopped internet sensations right there. The original photo showed the whole chopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. O. R. Vet Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Well I'd like to se one of those "helicopter" aircraft make a traffic stop! Bet they can't do a pit maneuver either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 They have rockets and guns. No pit maneuver needed...well, maybe. Would a bull dozer shoving the burnt wreckage into a hole be considered a “pit maneuver”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizPete Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 seems a bit harsh for a speed violation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 If a helicopter is harsh what would an M1A1 be? ....overkill. Old tankers never die our tracks just get rusty Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 New Mexico State Police used to use A/C to clock speeders on the interstate. We would time a vehicle between 2 measured points and if if the vehicle was speeding we would radio down to a marked unit with the speed and vehicle description. I don't know if they still do that, but when you stopped the target vehicle and told them they are clocked by an aircraft you got some confused looks. It was fun.

And it's generally conceded around here that the "real" speed limit is anything less than 10 mph over the posted speed limit. Technically speeding. I do it regularly, subject to conditions, and I pay attention. But I see your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 He rides a big ole Harley, got a Mustang GT And a Bell helicopter hidden in the pine trees If he catches you for speedin', it's ten years to life And if you protest he takes your first born child, your house, and your wife They call him Dudley Do-Right but that's not his real name Toughest highway cop from California to Maine He hides back in the bushes with the latest radar Take your picture, then he'll catch you, in his modified car His heart's hard as concrete, and his blood is ice cold He's Dudley Do-Right of the Highway Patrol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
