About That “No One is Above the Law” Nonsense…

In late 1999, I was speeding along Interstate 88 in upstate New York, in a big hurry to go see my girlfriend at the time, when I saw flashing red-and-blue lights in my rearview mirror.

My heart sank as I pulled over, knowing that the speeding ticket I was about to receive would be financially devastating.

But I was extremely lucky.

The New York State Trooper who pulled me over noticed my short hair, my youth, and military ID, and he asked me if I was a West Point cadet. I was. And then, for some reason I still don’t understand to this day, he let me off with just a warning.

I couldn’t believe it; I was driving way too fast, so he absolutely should have written me a ticket. But he didn’t.
