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..."

This story has come up before in these forums. As a Lothian and Borders Traffic Officer, I know there are no traffic officers based at North Berwick, which is a little tourist town. The A1 is not called the 'Great North Road' anywhere in Scotland. Other than that, I suppose it is all true..
