| [Officer 143; Citation 10232025000337]While traveling Northbound Hwy 23 to the Upper Sioux Community for active duty. I was legally passed prior to Cottonwood MN, by a black ford explorer bearing MN license plates HKY785. I noticed after the vehicle competed the pass the vehicle was pulling away from me. I continued to follow since I was heading the same direction. I attempted to get a lock with my radar front facing antenna same direction of travel but was unable to due to interference. I attempted to pace the vehicle with my squad at one point the vehicle prior to Hanley Falls MN was paced at 74. My squad camera was not active at this point. By pacing the vehicle how I got my speed was maintaining a distance behind the vehicle in front of me and watchin my speed. While continuing to travel Northbound on Hwy 23. The vehicle passed others. I was able to get behind the vehicle after PEL. I activated my squad camera and again paced the vehicle. My camera will show my body camera picking up my speed going 70 then slowing to 69. I conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle near Hwy 23/Hwy 167. Driver was ID by MN DL. Driver provided proof of insurance. Driver was advised why he was being stopped and i advised him of the speeds. Driver said he was returning home from Arizona and had been on the road for a long time and was anxious to get home. Driver was issued a citation for speed 70/60. When Driver was given his citation I explained to him how to take care of it pointing out the direction on the backside. Driver advised even though he anxious to get home to slow down. |
