Okay failure to signal, thats nothin. This all in three days...
Sunday Night - License plate light burned out, warning ticket (replaced the light minutes later)
Monday Night- License plate light not bright enough, warning ticket #2
Tuesday Night- 51mph in a 50mph zone, car search requested.
That's some crappy luck there. I've had my fair share of pointless pullovers.
1st time - Turned at a 'No Turn on Red'. The officer let me off with a warning, because he noticed the sign was covered by a road construction sign.
2nd time - Stopped because of my bumper stickers (specifically my Bad Religion one). Searched my truck, found nothing.
3rd time - Same as 2nd time.
4th time - 38 in a 25. This is the only one I actually got a legit ticket for, but, in an odd stroke of events, the officer came TO MY HOUSE and ripped up the ticket on my doorstep. He must've seen my scout uniform on the passenger seat. That's the only reason I can imagine he would've said I was "too good of a kid".
5th time - Bumper stickers again. I didn't know they can pull you over for those.
6th time, and by far the worst - No reason given. Not a darn one. I was walking back from 7-11, slurpee in hand, and a cop car pulls up behind me as I get in the car. Officer comes up screaming at me to "move the bag", thinking I had drugs on me, but, well, how he could've seen a ripped up plastic baggie UNDER MY SEAT is beyond me. I had change in it for getting my slurpee, so he does a thorough search of the truck, I mean EVERYTHING. Ripped the thing apart looking for drugs, and found nothing. Then proceeded to drill me about "past drug use", of which there is none, and went through a whole frisking and everything.
Once he left, I went to the station and filed a harassment report, which, oddly enough worked. He got kicked off the force permanently. Apparently he had a history of doing that to kids.
