155mph ticket
Motorcyclist Clocked at 155 Mph Jailed

LIVINGSTON, La. - A motorcyclist has been given a couple of days to think about the record he set _ at least in the minds of state troopers.
Brian Samuel Willis, 20, was clocked zooming down Interstate 12 on Sunday at 155 miles per hour _ more than two times the speed limit 70, state police said.
"That may be the fastest of all-time in the state," said Trooper Ryan Riley of Troop A. "I can't confirm it, but I don't think anyone has ever gotten anybody at 155. The fastest I know of is like 144."
Riley said he was traveling westbound about 6 p.m. when he got the motorcycle in his radar. Maneuvering his vehicle to the other side of the interstate, Riley tried to follow Willis, but the black Yamaha R6 ducked off the roadway onto state highway 441 and traveled south to state highway 42, Riley said.
At that point, Livingston Parish sheriff's deputies and Springfield police chased Willis back toward Riley, who made the arrest, he said.
"He pulled over once he saw all of us, without incident," Riley said. "He just said he didn't think he was going that fast and he didn't know we were behind him. He thought he was only doing 120 or 130."
Willis motorcycle was impounded and he was booked for reckless operation of a vehicle, flight from an officer and speeding, Riley said.
"The judge refused to set the bond until Tuesday," Riley said. "I think she is going to let him spend a few days in jail."

Re: 155mph ticket
The Crown Vic's top out at 122 and it might be a violation of Departmental Policy to pursue someone going that fast, also when setting up a road block in Louisiana you can only block 3/4th's of the road. But this happened a while back, I dont know what the outcome of it was. But I do know for a fact that a Crown Vic will never see 125mph and I also know if I'm doing 155 there's not a Cop on the street that can keep up, not saying that there are no Cops that can ride, I'm a cop myself, but I'm myself first. Bottomline he f**ked up doing it and getting caught doing, it either way. And I call Bullshit on 175 on a stock gsx-r. The speedo error increases exponentially with speed, I'll clock ya if you want
