This is the version I was afraid of-
Apparently they had all three makes back then, but I saw mostly M body cars and an occasional 5 Oh crown vic.
OSP was notorious for "the letter of the law", but also more professional with regard to "hassling", like some municipal and county employees were known for.
We did have a hot, blond, female OSP cut us a HUGE break one 4th of July.
My buddy had been installing bucket seats in his 77 Fury and only had the driver's side in.
He was also fixing a dent in the driver's door and the mirror was off.
He heard of someone that had gone out of state to buy fireworks (anything that "leaves the ground" is illegal in OH),
and we went to go see if they would sell us some. We hastily put a lawn chair in the passenger's side and took off.
We made a pretty good score and on the way back, picked up a case of beer.
We were pretty close to the Greene/Montgomery county line kind of in the boonies.
After the second beer we decided to light some bottle rockets and throw them out of the car.
Pause for mental image.
My buddy put a fairly large plastic tipped rocket in the hole where the mirror should have been but for some reason didn't light it.
About then, we turned onto route 35 and my friend did a spectacular one wheel burnout
....and then "she" lit us up.
While pulling over, I was frantically trying to shove the case of beer and all those fireworks under the rear seat.
I managed to do it, but the seat wouldn't go all the way back down, so there was beer and rockets spilling onto the floor.
What we forgot, was that HUGE rocket in the mirror hole.
She was incredibly, and unbelievably professional. Never took off her mirrored shades.
Walked to the car, casually glanced inside, asked for license and registration, walked back to her car.
We were in sheer panic mode, but trying not to squirm.
When she came back, I couldn't help staring at that rocket, which was about an inch away from her left tit.
..or maybe I was staring at those tits, which were an inch away from the rocket.
She proceeded to flip open what we thought was a ticket book.
...but instead pulled her shades down an inch, looked me directly in the eye and said- "I realize you are seated in a lawn chair, but Ohio law requires you to wear a seat belt", and handed me a seat belt warning paper. She then turned to my friend and said- "I advise you to install a rear view mirror ASAP", and handed him a safety violation warning.
No mention of the beer, and no mention of the fireworks.....and no mention of the burnout.
The laughter on the rest of the ride home was ridiculous, if a bit nervous.

Image how hard she laughed! I stopped these mor.........
Friend a state trooper was in the barracks, shift change. A female trooper is talking about how mad a guy was who she gave a speeding ticket to. One of the guys how fast he was going? She replied 56 mph! Everyone cracked up laughing. This was in 1974 when gas shortage and the 55 limit was posted.

Ohio was notorious for 56 MPH tickets.
Municipal cops and sheriffs would also bait people.
They would go out on the highway and drive 60...
...and then pull over anyone that kept up with them.
Dirty pool back in the day.
Not unusual at all to see a pack of cars going 54, with a cop in the lead left hand lane.
Same friend State Trooper was called into the office for going 65 mph at that time. Supervisor told him to slowdown they had compliants, why does he get to go 65 mph. The supervisor was happy about the talk. Troopers go faster than traffic to catch reckless drivers, the weavers.
