If this was me I would have gotten a speeding ticket

Governor Mark Sanford seems to be exempt from morals and now he is able to have his security detail do 85 miles per hour on a SC state highway that the maximum speed limit is 70 miles per hour.

This puts the lives of our state travelers and the citizens of South Carolina in danger with no consequences. I'm tired of our political figures thinking they are ABOVE the law. A ticket should have been issued because if this was me I would have gotten a ticket.

You can see the video of the officer shaking his hand here.



"South Carolina can be highways or Dieways The choice is yours" the Governor's campain

So why didn't the Trooper issue a citation? We really want to know!
