“Police in northeast Tennessee say Scott Gibson isn’t the deputy director of the CIA – and he’d have to pay his $75 speeding fine even if he were.”
It happens to us all sooner or later in life… seeing those blue lights flashing behind you. Your heart begins to race and you get that sick to the stomach feeling. Some people get so nervous or mad that they don’t think straight. Clearly we have few lessons to learn from this schmuck who wasn’t quite with it when he mailed back his speeding-cam citation with a hand written note claiming he was immune from the fine because he was the deputy chief of the CIA.
Lesson 1: No matter how mad you are about a ticket or citation, think twice before impersonating a federal law enforcement official.
Lesson 2: $75 is expensive for a ticket, but a lot less expensive than a night in jail and federal charges…
Lesson 3: If you mess with law enforcement you can expect to have the book thrown at you!
