On the way back to 61 i got pulled over in my moms cobalt ss. He asked for my d/l and insurance, looked at it. Handed it back started to walk away and said, "i'm letting you off with a warning." I asked for what?he told me his radar said i was speeding

I wish Port Arnasass was closer, much nicer then Galveston.
Also Galveston is too commericalized. You cant really enjoy driving on the coast, feels like your still in the city.

I dont think they can pull it for that...
Your twic has nothing to do with driving a motor vehicle on a public road..

I deserved to have been pulled over . . . I was clipping along more than 80 something when I saw Coast Guard on the back window. By the time I passed him was 75 something doing a nose dive to slow down.

Its obvious they are trying to build revenue by writing more tickets and what better day than Mothers Day. No better way to say thank you to all the tourist income by writing tickets for going 5 over the speed limit.

Its gotten so bad that they are starting to run every one off. I'm still laughing about getting pulled over. I dont know to many people that would speed on the seawall. Its kinda pointless.

I was out there Saturday night-Sunday afternoon.
It was very obvious it was prom weekend..every time me and the friends went to a restaurant it was filled with highschoolers. And you could definitely tell by some of the cars out there and the crazy driving that it must have been a lot of the highschoolers.
I only saw one person get pulled over while I was there, but I wasn't on the road an excessive amount (bff's birthday, stayed at a condo in pirates beach). I managed to do about 5-10 over with no heat on me, and I was in my big bright red car lol.
I did notice a good bit of cops out patrolling, though, just not any of their victims.
I'd agree that they were there to crack down on all the crazy kids there for Prom, and to bring in more money for the increased number of visitors there for the holiday.
I only spotted one Fbody out there when I was cruising, a red Camaro Vert on black wheels..if you're on here, nice ride! This was Sunday morning..11 ish.

This has nothing to do with Galveston but whatever.
Saturday night we left the bar and were waiting on our cab when a cop pulled a guy over for a DUI. The driver was taking a field sobriety test when all of us on the sidewalk started chanting 'Sober, Sober, Sober!'. The cops freaked out on us and started yelling something about obstruction of justice. After like two tests the cop actually let the guy go. Pretty hilarious.

What is a TWIC card?
Buncha BS that the Galveston PD is writing nit picky tickets to folks on the island when they're trying all they can to get people to come back there to bring in revenue to the local economy. I guess the PD is short on revenue themselves and they are resorting to legally stealing from people by writing BS tickets.

Agreed. I don't see why in the world that would even be called into question, much less why a police officer would have the right to confiscate the card.

Yeah, use to do alot of fishing back in the day there. Water is alot better and lots of marine life, I seen a fair share of dolphins there. And maybe I shouldnt tell you I caught shark and stingray not to far from the surf. You really dont need a boat to have a good fishing day.
