[Mrs 66 Snake]

To everyone else:
If your city PD has the Citizen's Police Academy program, I strongly recommend doing it first chance you get. I just 'graduated' the Garland PD CPA before Thanksgiving and I am so glad I spent the 12 Tues nights doing it.

I know our class really grilled the Traffic officer who came one week to speak to us. I learned the truth about some myths (like local PD can't pull you over on a hwy - BS. Ours has a grant to cover both 190 and I-30, similar to click it and ticket Todd was talking about).

And bonus for me was on my ride-along pulling up on a fellow Cobra member just heading on to 190. Although knowing my DH was out of town and my car was supposed to be safely locked in my garage, seeing a blue and white Cobra flying down the road was a bit startling.

But I have a new appreciation for our PD and the officers and the laws they have to deal with.
