when i was 18, i had lots of disposable income. and i liked fireworks.....which are illegal in my city and the good ones are illegal in nebraska. same with iowa. so i drove to missouri to buy them. on the way back, i had about $1500 worth of fireworks (by the way, you get more when you buy in bulk from the firework stands) packed behind the seat of an 87 s-10 reg. cab. i was in a hurry to get home, since it is about 80 miles each way. the speedo on the s-10 was like 85. it was burried, and everyone else was doing the speed limit (65) so i was in the fast lane the entire time, and if someone was in the way, i tailgated them till they moved. did that for about 45 minutes. then all of a sudden i see a state trooper and i slam the brakes (which were about 1000 miles past needing to be replaced...aka metal to metal) the trooper slams on his brakes, and whips it around....i slowed down and merged into traffic like everything was good. he came up with his lights and sirens and everyone slowed WAY down. he pulled me over and the first thing out of his mouth was "do you know you are going to loose you license for this?" i said no, and he pulls me out of the car. he asked where i was coming from, i said "down the road." he told me that he had several cell phone reports about a white s-10 exceeding 90 mph ever since i crossed the iowa border. he asked me if i had fireworks, and i said yeah. then he asked how much...i said over $1000 worth. he then went to the truck and asks my buddy to get out. he tipped the seat forward and about 4 bags fall out.....because it was soo packed. he shook his head and came back to the squad car where i was sitting. he kindly told me that fireworks are a class c felony in iowa. scared the ***** out of me. then he said he was a kid too and liked fireworks and didnt want to mess with them right now. he said that i could go with them, but if i get stopped again, he never saw them... so he gave me the speeding ticket for 92 in a 65, thank god it was under 30 over or i would have lost my license. the fine for the speeding was $111. i gladly mailed it in the next day. $111 for 27 over?!?! thats cheap!! never had a traffic violation since.
