Default RAF speeding ticket

Top this for a speeding ticket...



Two British traffic patrol officers from North Berwick were involved in
an unusual incident while checking for speeding motorists on the A1 Great
North Road. One of the officers used a hand-held radar device to
check the speed of a vehicle approaching over the crest of a hill, and was

surprised when the speed was recorded at over 300 mph. Their radar suddenly stopped working and the officers were not able to reset it.

Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had
in fact latched on to a NATO Tornado fighter jet which was engaged in
a low-flying exercise over the Border district, approaching from the North
Sea. Back at police headquarters the chief constable fired off a stiff complaint to the RAF Liaison office.



Back came the reply in true laconic RAF style:



"Thank you for your message, which allows us to complete the file on

this incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the

Tornado 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 pilot flying the Tornado recognized the situation for

what it was, quickly responded to the missile systems alert status,
and was able to override the automated defence system before the missile was
launched and your hostile radar installation was destroyed.







Good Day..."

How to avoid a ticket, just launch a missile at the cop car, nice idea.
