That’s what one woman said when she was pulled over for going 51 mph in a 20 mph school zone, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
31 over in a school zone should be reckless driving. LEO showed amazing restraint.
Amazing!
I’m not sure how he restrained himself from choking her until She peed herself.
Restraint from doing what? The officer cited her for speeding. No other crime had been committed. No smart, mature officer will engage someone for simply exercising their 1A Right; it’s a waste of the officer’s time, and detrimental to public safety, to engage every fool out there.
“I’m not sure how he refrained…”
Are you referring to that particular officer or God?..
Punching her in the throat? Dragging her out of the car and kicking her teeth in?
My beef with this lady isn’t that she is anti-LEO. It’s that she’s one of those ****ing people who thinks she can do whatever she wants.
Case law in FL says 30mph+ is careless, or even reckless, driving. There was a famous NFL player or someone who got pulled over by FHP a while back and was cited with reckless driving and arrested for doing 30+ on the interstate (i.e. not in a school zone. Case was later dismissed due to the high profile nature of the arrested guy and he told the media he was going to his “mom’s hospital room”)
Cop could have easily articulated that given that she was doing so in a school zone.
Any moving violation in a school zone during school hours should be treated more severe. Same goes for passing school busses illegally. Just my opinion.
And anything 20+ over the posted limit is reckless here in VA. But from what I understand we are one of the most strict states in the country when it comes to traffic laws.
Oh, and what a C*nt.
And the cop would have been in the wrong and gone to jail… Rest assured the lady will get what’s coming to her, sooner or later.
LEOs exercise discretion. An officer may cite someone for the actual offense committed, or for a lesser offense. Did she deserve a reckless for 51 in a 20 school zone? Yes.
Do you guys watch the full version of that video?
That lady, just wow. South Florida sense of entitlement at its finest…
Scratch that. Arrest the bitch, impound the vehicle, and tack on disorderly conduct charges.
When I was in 2nd grade I was hit by a car getting on the bus, had the stop sign out and lights flashing. My cousin and I were getting ready to cross the road and luckily he saw a lady (speeding which she admitted 45 in a 20mph school zone) run the stop sign the bus had out and he grabbed my shoulder and yelled. The car bumper hit my right leg, knocked me flying and tumbling like a rag doll. If he wouldn’t have grabbed me I probably would have been all the way in front of the car and been toast.
That being said I absolutely agree much harsher punishment is in order going that fast in school zones. Simply no excuse for it.
When my Mom got there I thought she was going to kill the b*tch.
“No wonder you people get shot”
What sort of deranged BS statement is that?
Such a horrible assertion goes beyond having a sense of entitlement.
What a monster!
This is nothing new. I had people make statements like that to me during traffic stops back in the 1980’s.
The difference between then and now is that the Presidents, Democrat and Republican, felt it was unacceptable behavior.

Not remotely limited to south Florida. A general sense of entitlement is national and a large part of our current problems in the US.
My first thought was that she was high or drunk. I’m not a fan of someone getting hauled in for being mouthy, but it makes me wonder why she is being so lippy. That ain’t normal.
Ask, “Do you want to shoot me?”, and go from there.
Officer discretion comes in play when you factor in the totality of the circumstances and the level of contrition displayed by the offender. Let me explain my theory of officer discretion. You fail to seatbelt your child? You’re getting a ticket. You speed in an active school zone with children present? You get a ticket. You do 31mph over in an active school zone and call me an a-hole for pulling you over? You’re getting arrested for reckless endangerment, I tow your car and I make sure the judge sees your wanton disregard for public safety when you’re forced to appear. You lose your license for 6 months and I walk away feeling good that I took a menace to society off the road.
My bright line is willfully endangering children. How’s that for officer discretion? 
One of the penalties in my neck of the woods for stupid shit like that, Is or was spending a couple of days riding on a School bus with the kids you almost ran over…
Nothing like like a little public humiliation by Children to make the offender see the error of their ways & feel like an ass…
“You people . . .”
YOU PEOPLE?!?!? What a ****ing racist! :jester:
Reminds me of an incident that occurred in the city I use to work for. One of our SROs attempted to pull over a female driver of the same demeanor as the one linked above who was speeding through a school zone. She took off thinking she was Burt Reynolds in a screaming chicken. A pursuit ensued and when she turned down a side street she decided to veer her speeding leased luxury sedan right at one of our guys on the side of the road helping several motorists out with a minor accident. He pulled his sidearm and emptied the mag into her via the windshield. She was DRT and all over speeding in a school zone. He was no billed.
The “I didn’t do nothing” song and dance has been played out. I swear, many drivers think they are the sun and the rest us just orbit around them.
As Euro and others also pointed out, in many states speeding beyond a certain point is “reckless driving” with more severe penalties. 51 in a 20 is awfully far over the limit. But…
In my state school zones are 25mph and have to be fairly clearly signed. I think even 25 is pretty slow but it’s tolerable. I’ve seen school zones elsewhere posted at 15 and I think even 10, and that’s just ridiculous. I can barely keep my car idling at 10 without riding the brakes. I remember some Dallas suburbs where roads normally at 40 or 45mph had school speed limits of 15, which is absurd. There are some places where all common sense seems to have been abandoned, or maybe they just want speeding ticket revenue.
I’ve driven through places where I could have been going 40+ in a “15” school zone if I hadn’t been paying close attention, and outside of school hours it would have been legal. I don’t think that makes sense either.
I’m not defending this crazy lady or her dumb comment.
