Paul Anthony Francis was born in Jamaica, where a 2019 survey commissioned by Jamaica Observer found that 30% of respondents admitted to having bribed a cop to avoid a ticket.
Unfortunately for Mr. Francis, Trooper Sandoval of the Nevada Highway Patrol was having none of that “Can I pay it right now?” business. As a wedding gift, Trooper Sandoval handed Mr. Francis a $605 citation. For driving 132 in a 75.
Unlike almost every other high-speed speeding ticket we have seen in Nevada, Francis’ citation — fifth place on the 2019 Nevada Highway Patrol leaderboard — was not amended to a parking ticket. Francis paid the fine in full and moved on.
Notably, the only other person we have met to-date who has done the same is Mohamed Basiouny — who was also visiting from overseas; in his case from the UAE.
The ten fastest speeding tickets issued by Nevada Highway Patrol in 2019 were:
#1 – 155 MPH, to Aaron Snyder and his Charger
#2 – 142 MPH, to Michael Alexander and his Corvette
#3 – 134 MPH, to the off-duty cop from LA
#4 – 133 MPH, to the hairdresser on his way to Salt Lake
#5 – 132 MPH, to Paul Anthony Francis
#6 – 129 MPH, to Mohammed Basiouny, visiting from the UAE
#7 – 129 MPH, someone you haven’t yet met
#8 – 127 MPH, to Justin Cole Jance
#9 – 127 MPH, to someone you haven’t met yet
#10 – 127 MPH, see above
Also, it’s not quite clear where Sandoval got “48 over” from. Last we checked, 132 – 75 = 57. Close enough?

"Paul Anthony Francis was born in Jamaica, where a 2019 survey commissioned by Jamaica Observer found that 30% of respondents admitted to having bribed a cop to avoid a ticket." What is the point of this? He was clearly not trying to bribe the officer…
600 for speeding, are you fuking kidding me
Bet he didn't pay it.
so funny lol
Some of the questions the officer asked were irrelevant to this stop. Nevertheless, this guy got off good. He should’ve been arrested and car impounded.
The cop showed him grace, he could've taken him to jail. Your attitude towards an officer means alot. A cop can be reasonable if your attitude is good.
Lol "no problem mon"
Probably thought it was 132 km/h – which roughly equals 70 mph
132 kph, not mph
Bossy get nervous 😂. Big up the police ya still. Deal with the thing propa!
shout out to Vail resorts!
Not used to all dat straight road
Wow! That's pretty heavy. I only remember hitting 121 after my wedding. She must be a real firecracker. Couldn't get away from her fast enough.
That’s how u should conduct yourself during a stop. Arguing does not help. I think the Cop could have been more mindful of his cooperation and reduce the speed so he paid less. But that is how a cop and a civilian should handle a traffic stop.
$605 holy shit
what married got to do with his speeding lmfao 😂
$600 !
Is that all ?
Here in Australia you'd get at least double that AND lose your licence immediately.
If you'd done it before you'd also lose your car, it'd be towed on the spot.
He was talking way to much about nothing😂
how the hell that car you 132MPH to begin with
"all the money that i worked for"
that hit me hard
Good job tax enforcer.
He thought the cop was bringing his wife back 🤣
My man gives out a $600 ticket and returns to rocking Whitesnake! Salute sir
Bcz I was lookin over dear on dat side
Damn.. talk about maxing it out
Lexus Es300 V6 I’m not surprised these things are sum damn sleepers!
75 MPH posted speed limit + 41 over = 116 MPH
Cop talking a mile a minute to a guy from a different country
He really do be rocking out to still of the night
Blood clot
I’ve driven those Nevada roads. It’s easy to go fast without thinking.
My dad was a mechanic and called to testify about a vehicle. A women was clocked doing 124 mph in a 60 mph zone and told the police that her speedometer wasn't woking. The fun judge that we had told her "Lady when the telephone poles look like a picket fence. You know you are going too damn fast."
He lived. You see? Don’t do stupid shit and you wont get shot.
Should've given the guy a wedding present Like no ticket today Sir Congratulations! Have a good life
LMAO I MADE SOMEONES COMMENT 696 LIKES AND THE VID 3K LIKES THATS COOL
I can't believe he didn't arrested…… No divers license and registration. I guess the cop didn't want to do the paperwork and wait for the tow.
Wow!!! My state. Loose the car go to jail and driver's licenses gone for life
He was thinking it was in KPH!!!
Whilst not as extreme, after pulling over, the cop asked me, "Doing a bit of low level flying, are we?"
I responded, "Just keeping up with the flow of traffic."
Cop's retort, "YOU WERE the flow of traffic."
After a bit of a tongue lashing from the cop (explaining to me the finer points of road safety), he reduced my recorded speed to just below the limit of having my licence suspended (instead of 142km/hr in a 110 zone, reduced to 139km/hr – 30 or more over the limit is a licence suspension). Was still hit with a huge fine but kept my licence. Be courteous. Be apologetic. Be understanding. Be polite. When you make a mistake, own it and learn from it.
SovTwits could learn a lot from this video.
