Another Speeding Ticket Thread
Top this for a speeding ticket:
Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on I-15, North of MCAS Miramar. One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching near the crest of a hill.
The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300+ miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and turned off.
Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked onto a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.
Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander.
Back came a reply in true USMC style:
Thank you for the message, which allows us to complete the file on
this incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer
in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked onto
your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back
to it. Furthermore, an air to ground missile aboard the fully armed
aircraft had also automatically locked onto your equipment. Fortunately the Highly
Trained Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation
for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status
and was able to override the automated defense system before
the missile was launched and your hostile radar was destroyed.
Thank you for your concerns.
