A police source tells 9News Now that Toles was traveling more 105 mph on the Capital Beltway when she was pulled over by police on February 22.
The traffic stop happened around Noon that day, near Branch Avenue, police said.
Toles was cited for an unsafe lane-change, a $90 fine and was given a warning for excessive speed, police said in a news release Tuesday.
Sources told 9News Now Toles was going almost 50 miles per hour faster than the posted speed limit when she was spotted by police.
"The issuance of a warning citation for the speed is consistent with the typical discretion applied by police officers to speeding motorists. The traffic violations were captured on the police officer's in-car camera, and the incident will be subject to command review. At the moment, the video is evidence in a pending District Court traffic case, and will not be released," police said in a news release.
The Councilwoman later issued a statement saying she was "late for an appointment."
Whoever said "crime doesn't pay" clearly never worked for the government.
It’s made very difficult to do, and the attempt can get you arrested. You will be intimidated and asked for your papers merely for asking for a form. This is where the state is closest to the people—the local police—and yet some people still think government is more responsive to the people than business.
Anytime Ron Paul sits across from Ben Bernanke you know sparks will fly.

20 Economic Statistics To Use To Wake Sheeple Up From Their Entertainment-Induced Comas
posted 02/29/2012, 3:34 PM (The Economic Collapse) [Category: Economy] The Dow has closed above 13,000 for the first time since 2008, and the mainstream media is declaring that a strong economic recovery is underway. Barack Obama is telling anyone who will listen that his economic policies are a huge success, and U.S. consumers are piling up astounding amounts of new debt. Unfortunately, this euphoria about the economy will be short-lived. None of the long-term problems that are destroying the U.S. economy have been solved. In fact, there are dozens of statisti...

posted 02/29/2012, 3:33 PM (Drug Policy Alliance) [Category: Tyranny/Police State] WASHINGYON, DC—Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is blocking legislation from proceeding in the Senate that would escalate the failed war on drugs, distract law enforcement from dealing with violent crimes, and subject more nonviolent Americans to long prison sentences at taxpayer expense. The legislation, which would criminalize dozens of synthetic drugs, has been criticized by scientists for impeding scientific research and blasted by criminal justice reform groups for perpetuating over-incarcerat...

Schiff: No Easy Fix for Gas Prices
posted 02/29/2012, 3:29 PM (Peter Schiff) [Category: Economy] This month, as unleaded gasoline prices increased for 17 consecutive days (to a national average of $3.647 per gallon - up 11% thus far this year) and West Texas Intermediate crude joined Brent crude in breaking through a $100 per barrel level, energy prices emerged as a full blown political issue. While President Obama conveniently claimed that rising prices were the consequence of an improving economy (they're not, and it isn't) Republican fingers began to point sanctimoniously at current dril...

Wyoming narrowly defeats measure to prepare for apocalypse
posted 02/29/2012, 3:28 PM (Reuters) [Category: Tyranny/Police State] CODY, Wyoming (Reuters) - In a sign of rising consumer confidence prevailing over go-it-alone pessimism in the Cowboy State, Wyoming lawmakers on Tuesday narrowly defeated a "doomsday bill" to help the state prepare for a total collapse of the U.S. government and economy.
The state is the last entity to look to in a time of crisis, this was about maintaining the state in a time of turmoil, not keeping the peace.
Treasuries, Gold Fall, Stocks Flat on Bernanke
posted 02/29/2012, 3:28 PM (Bloomberg) [Category: Economy] Treasuries and gold slid while the dollar rose and U.S. equities were little changed after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke’s remarks to Congress damped speculation of more quantitative easing to help the economy.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield increased four basis points to 1.98 percent, reversing an early drop, and the Dollar Index rose 0.5 percent after falling 0.2 percent earlier. Gold futures sank 4.2 percent to $1,712.50 an ounce, its biggest loss of the year, ... (more)

posted 02/29/2012, 3:28 PM (Casey Research) [Category: Economy] Economic crises signal that the current system isn't working as expected and needs improvement. When it comes to monetary systems, questioning their fundamentals can lead to doubts about whether the preferred medium of exchange will continue to be preferred for long. The large-scale whirlwind of economic trouble around the globe has pushed some to rethink the role of gold in the economy – and to actually move toward bringing it back.
