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.

What's a "suid?"

Ha, Fixed!

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?

[fastwin]

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.

[NAKID]

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.
