Not so sure about that, Brian. :)

Picture this, it was 1994, South Florida.

7:30am:  Pulled over for backing down an entrance ramp to I-95 Northbound 
at about 50mph (whatever redline in Reverse was).  I was mega-late for a 
Lemon Law Hearing on my client's Lexus, and I-95 was a friggin' parking 
lot... so I backed off, and got pulled over.  I told the officer that my 
aunt was in an accident in Palm Beach and I had to get there (the accident 
part was true; getting there wasn't, she was fine.)  He let me go when I 
bust out into tears.  (...And the Emmy goes to...)

7:50am:  (yes, that's 20 minutes later).  Pulled over on the FL Turnpike 
Northbound for illegal flashing (some asshole in the left lane who wouldn't 
move over and wouldn't go faster than 80 and like I said I was 
mega-late).  I lied my way out of that one saying that he slammed on the 
brakes when he saw the cop and I flashed him to move over because I was 
afraid I wasn't going to stop in time.  ("I was so scared, 
Officer...")  Written warning.

3:00am:  Pulled over on I-95 Southbound on my way back from an 
excruciatingly long day. That was the one most of you have heard about - 
110 in a 55. Mustang, undercover cop, camera mounted in the grille, 8 
miles, gun to my head, etc.   I won't bore you with the details. :)

So the golden rule is:  If you get pulled over 2x in a day, the odds are 
stacked against you - go HOME and stay there!
