“Thank you very much. I will say that I have had a neighbor got two tickets on one day. Actually, I think there are two of the ones on George Bush Boulevard.

I said, well, if it doesn't pick you up until after you're doing 11 miles over, how fast are you going? Well, they were not doing 11 miles over. They were probably 15 or 20 miles over. and so you know i'm not going to defend that but i guess their point was for your neighbor when they when they no it's just it's not particularly a friend it…”
