for a speeding ticket

Two California Highway Patrol Officers
were conducting speeding
enforcement on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps
Air Station at Miramar .
One of the officers was using a hand held radar
device to check speeding
vehicles approaching 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 then turned itself off. Just then a deafening roar over
the
treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18

Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.

Back at the CHPs Headquarters, the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint
to
the USMC Base Commander. The reply came back in true USMC style:

"Thank you for your letter. We can now 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
on to, your
hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal
back to it,
which is why it shut down.
Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground
missile aboard the fully armed aircraft
had also automatically locked on to
your equipment location. Fortunately,
the Marine Aviator 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 to
destroy the hostile radar position.

The pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them,
since
the video systems on these jets are very high tech. Sergeant Johnson,
the
officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left
rear
molar. It appears the filling is
loose. Also, the snap is broken on his
holster.

Thank you for
your concern."

Semper Fi.
