Deputy Sheriff Felipe Perez of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is the lucky recipient of the fourth-fastest speeding ticket issued by the Nevada Highway Patrol in all of 2019. His wife and child were both in the car at the time, and the car happened to not have any license plates.
Smart.
Trooper Ken Nickerson cited Deputy Perez for the full 134 MPH and for the missing plates. The citation was handled by Justice Larry Shupe of Goodsprings Township Justice Court,* in Jean, Nevada, where the charge was amended to a whopping parking violation.
Tangentially, in researching this case we discovered that Andre Agassi received a ticket for driving in a manner that wasted energy back in 1992. No joke.
But what about that parking ticket for driving 134 MPH? We wanted to know the same thing that many of you are probably wondering: do non-off-duty-cops get 134 MPH citations reduced to parking tickets, too?
Well, we investigated and – crazily enough – it turns out that they do, At least in Goodsprings Justice Court. Every single citation we looked at where the violation was for 41+ MPH over the speed limit was ultimately disposed of as some sort of a parking ticket. Some were ‘parked car too close to the curb’ and others were run-of-the-mill ‘parking in a no-parking zone” type deals. None remained insanely-fast speeding tickets… unless the recipient didn’t contact the court prior.
It should be noted that in no case was the amount of the fine reduced. Most expensive parking ticket ever. Deputy Sheriff Perez had to complete traffic school, too. (Guess whether you have to pay Goodsprings Township for that…)
Dewitte news: still working hard at it. You will get to see it. Your patience will be rewarded ✌ï¸
*Minor correction: On-screen text incorrectly refers to the court as “Goodsprings Municipal Court.” Its actual name is “Goodsprings Township Justice Court.”

Nice chem trails
Deputy Sheriff Felipe Perez es un idiota.
umm yeah i catch myself now and then saying things to myself like say if im looking for something ive misplaced.. but the way the sound of the voice is changed when he does it like its a nervous tick or habit is a bit strange. May be something he isn't even aware of or maybe hes trying to suppress what you guys think?
Yep that’s not a good look brother we just had an officer fired for reckless driving at my station… unfortunately upholding a standard means living by that code everyday…you can’t break the rules because you feel like having fun in the challenger boss SMDH 🤦ðŸ¼â€â™‚ï¸
This off duty cop thinks he above the law I’ll just say l am one of you and I’ll be are right I guest not this time you punk suck it up take your ticket and watch your speeds
why is this cop not fired for saying they give breaks to law enforcement? i though everyone in the us had same laws
Should have just let him wipe out that micro gene pool..
If your already going 140 why stop! That drink don’t go faster then 135 anyway.!
pigs looking out for pigs! you would have went to jail!
134 and only $198 ??? I was going 5 over and got one for $234 .
I don't get how there are so many speeding tickets turned into parking violations
“We give cops a breakâ€! Are they above the law?
This dude should have been arrested because he has a toddler in the back seat. SMFH!!!
Are you fucking kidding me? That's child endangerment. I'm not one of those "ACAB" idiots but this is ridiculous.

"Fuck, why do these cops do this shit" – cop
Even when you're on duty, you can not speed like this way
Only people that disliked this video are cops…
Good to know someone who is supposed to enforce the law and know all about it gets breaks we citizens don’t. I see cops breaking law’s everyday, not fully stopping at stop signs,no indicator when changing lanes, going 90 in a 65 on the carpool lane by themselves (most popular)
