Two cops get caught doing around 150 MPH and don't even get reckless ops.
Any of us do this and we get the book thrown at us. (especially AB)

I got tagged by the CHP while do'n the same thing, no book was thrown, but he did write me up for 80 in a 55.

Recless or not that ticket if convicted could well be enough to ruin their careers. I bet the lesson is learned and that is the most we can hope for.

OK, that's messed up. I got caught doing about 30 over one time and the fine was $595! Almost 150mph and he's facing a "possible" $150 fine?

I am just proud they got cited at all. I would figure that the officer involved would just blow it off and let them go with a good fussing. I think it's pretty stand up of the officer and department to treat them like everyone else.

Probably couldn't have just let it go. He didn't know they were officers at the time and probably called in that he was in pursuit of 2 motorcycles in excess of 100mph...

Sounds like its more serious than just a $150 ticket
Judge David Branstool told Highsmith he could face a $150 fine and a license suspension of up to three years because the high speed constituted reckless driving, even though the patrol didn't charge either officer with reckless driving.
