You know...I know what I'm gonna say will wrankle some of you but so be it. Honestly I disagree with you '69 R/T. I don't think you were foolish or necessarily 'wrong'. Were you in a parking lot, yes. Were you horsing around a bit, yes. Was the parking lot full of people? No. Were you doing what you were doing during a busy time, no. It also sounds like you weren't at it for hours at end, you weren't zooming back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. To get pulled over by some pimple headed, badge heavy 25 y/o dipwad cop who right away starts with the "I smell something" approach is just annoying, foolish and just downright stupid. It's like the time I had a State trooper pull me over for speeding and he right off the bat asks me if I had a gun. I answer "no". Then after writing me up he asked me if I wanted to know why he asked me if I had a gun. I said sure. He said it was because I had an NRA sticker on my car! Really? I had a Union 76 sticker too but it doesn't mean I use their gas. Guy got me so PO I took it to court and live or die I was going to take this SOB down for his stupid, heavy handed, badge heavy mindset. And I won hands down, case dismissed. My point here is while he could have probably written you up for laws you aren't even aware of, I think the right thing to do would have been to say don't do it again. But nope, he has to go down the road of you broke the law, I'm sure I smell something, blah, blah, blah and I'm gonna make your life tough cause I can. Just another badge heavy moron in my book 'cause God knows what a menace to society you are. And before you draw judgement on me, I too work in LE and see a good many good ones and an even larger number of badge heavy ones who play dirty harry over the dumbest of offenses with people that are probably good joes who just did something wrong/dumb.
