142 MPH in a 65 | Nevada Highway Patrol’s Second-Fastest Speeding Ticket of 2019

142 MPH in a 65. A not-even-close second!

Nevada Highway Patrol’s second-fastest speeding ticket for the year 2019 was handed to Michael Anthony Alexander II of North Las Vegas, Nevada in the early morning hours of August 24, 2019. Unlike Aaron Snyder’s 155 MPH first-place run, Alexander was not wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the word “THRILLS.” Similarly, however, Alexander landed himself in cuffs… temporarily.

If you have been watching Real World Police lately – and, come on, we both know you have – you might remember Deputy Sheriff Felipe Perez. He was the guy who thought – incorrectly, on that occasion – that his badge would summarily excuse a 134 MPH run in his Hellcat. While his child was in the backseat. Mr. Sheriff Perez had also neglected to put license plates on his car. Perez was cited for 134 MPH.

Depending on how closely you paid attention to the Perez video, you might also be aware that the Deputy’s charge was amended downward. Significantly. What began as “Speeding 41+ MPH Over Posted Speed Limit” ended up as a parking ticket.

But there was more to the story. Our investigation found that Deputy Perez did not get special treatment in having his super-high-speed-speeding-ticket turned into a no-speed-at-all parking ticket. That’s the norm. As long as you actually show up or even phone the Justice Court, you, too, can get just about any Nevada Highway Patrol speeding ticket amended to a non-moving violation.

The catch? Only the crime changes. Your fine — which is technically a “bail forfeiture,” since moving violations in Nevada are criminal offenses — stays the same. Which is why Deputy Perez’s parking ticket cost him a cool $706, plus the time and expense of traffic school.

Michael Alexander’s 142 MPH encounter with the highway patrol earned made him the recipient of Nevada Highway Patrol’s second-fastest-speed speeding ticket of 2019, but – despite the obvious moving violation, Alexander’s citation was amended much the same as Perez’s and Snyder’s: it turned into a parking ticket.

Some might point out that he hired an attorney. It is not clear, however, that the attorney made any difference beyond Alexander not having to personally show up in court.

Notes:

(a) As with Snyder’s stop, the numbers here are inconsistent. The citation is for 140 MPH, but Sgt. Wayne Dice initially tells the driver he was stopped for driving 142 MPH. A bit later in the stop, Sgt. Dice makes reference to 146 MPH. I don’t know the reason for the discrepancies.

(b) On October 1, 2019, Nevada Assembly Bill 434 went into effect, reforming – a bit – the state’s approach to traffic violations. The new law states that for someone arrested for a violation of Nevada’s traffic laws, “…there is a presumption that the person should be released on his or her own recognizance.” This presumption doesn’t apply to arrests for reckless driving, vehicular manslaughter, DUI; or if the person willfully refuses to pay court-imposed obligations and refuses to perform community service to satisfy a court-imposed obligation; or if the court finds that releasing the person “…would substantially jeopardize public safety.”

  5. It's good to see cops being fair. Glad to see dude in the Vette got his ticket chopped down to a parking ticket because 41 over, ouch!

  7. there is truth in what dude said…142 mph the road is wide open…bitch as cops do 120 with 20 cop suvs chasing one guy in broad day light with citizens all over the street.

  14. Looks like I'm moving to nevada, buddy got reduced to driving school for 140, meanwhile I'm in virginia having to take a driving class for 18 over on the highway

  19. He probably got his leg stuck under his belly pushing against his steering wheel 🤔 guess that’s why he wasn’t doing the speed limit or could see the speedometer to notice his speed. 🤦‍♂️

  21. I’m 18 I got held at gunpoint doing 115 on a 65 going to Sierra Vista A.Z I’m from L.A I got locked up they took away my car and Everything I didn’t get read my rights until the tow company came and i have court today I have to leave in 2hr wish me luck 💯

  24. 11:26 "Whoa that was close" and commentary about some driver going over the white line, "Alright." followed by red & blue & engine noise, hah.

  25. He's so fat he struggles to get in and out of that car, fat boy got a $60,000 Corvette but saves half his cigarette doesn't want to waste that huh.

  26. Very cool to watch from being to end . Two MEN speaking, interacting and respecting one another. 🤜🤛 I will say this … the officer was giddy like a school girl about the stop being the fastest ever (and losing his doors).😏

  28. So, could the driver get out of this ticket, or at the very least get it lowered?? The cop’s report says he confirmed the 140 mph through VISUAL ESTIMATE. That might work with 5 over, but how can the officer have any level of confidence that 140 mph was the speed???

  32. Cop: "I saw that you were driving at an unsafe speed of 142 mph, so I decided to accelerate up to an unsafe speed myself in order to pull you over and ticket you for safety's sake.
    BTW, now you owe the state money for causing both of us to travel at an unsafe speed."
    😜😜😜😜

  35. He said the road was wide open LMAO …… I thought I’ve heard it all 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

  36. texas state trooper would have breached the driver side window with his bare hands and tazered
