When I was 20 I was driving up to my college for New Years and had to take a leak so I took a back road the final leg of the trip instead of the highway to find a bathroom and ended up driving by a cop on patrol. I saw the police car parked on the side of the road and drove extra careful (I was very intimidated by cops back then and had never been pulled over before) The cop immediately pulls up behind me and starts following me with his lights off and once again I’m being extra careful following every law to the best of my ability. Suddenly he turns his lights on, pulls me over and comes up to me and asks me if I’m drunk because I was swerving all over the place and crossed the yellow line multiple times. It was a complete bold face lie and I got ticketed $200 as a broke college kid. I think he targeted me because I had a college sticker on the back of my car. Terrible first experience with a police officer though and I should have fought the ticket in court.
Damn, my first ticket at age 16 was that way. Im on my back road going home and out of nowhere I see some jackoff on my bumper at 12:30am with their brights on high beam. I sped up because I didnt know if it was a lunatic or someone I knew screwing with me. Guy starts flashing the high beams and continues to ride my ass until I put my blinker on to pull into my driveway. When I pull in he pops the cherries on. Asshole asks me why I sped up and didnt pull over. I said "If you wanted me to pull over you should have turned the blue and red lights on instead of high beaming me like a stalker". Needless to say he gave me a 43 in 30 ticket (he clocked that when I passed him earlier) instead of the 63 in 30 (when I fled from him). Total shit policing if you ask me.
The ticket for 43 in a 30 was my fault. Him spazing his lights and riding my ass for a mile without turning the cherries on, then getting pissed at me for not pulling over sooner was a dumb move on his part. Especially on a rural back road with no shoulder.
