flashing lights

I hate being late, especially when it entails an obvious entrance. I also hate that I have to share a bathroom as it never fails my roommate and I need it at the same time (and she always seems to be one minute ahead of me). So today I was rushing out the door and in an attempt to make it to church on time I chose to go a titch faster than the posted speed limit. Just before the turn to the parking lot I see the flash of red and blue. Dang cop! There was some good and bad news to the whole bit. The good news is that it was a BYU cop and so the ticket won't go on my record. It was also much cheaper than a ticket from a regular cop would be. The bad news is that there was no chance of getting off by saying "I was late to church" because Mr. Police Officer was pulling over all us naughty church goers. There is also very little you can do to lower the ticket. What I want to know is why an LDS church-sponsored school is employing people to work on the Sabbath when it promotes keeping it holy. Okay, I'm just bitter that I got busted for breaking a law. So after my little stint, I wasn't five minutes late... I was twenty. Much more embarrassing than coming in during the announcements. The moral of the story: do as the scriptures say and "obey the laws of the land" even the stupid speed limit.
