Scooting is cereal business.
TL;DR, I got profiled by a cop for DWB, got indirectly accused of being a drug user, was suspected of stealing my own car, and was in agony until I could get more ibuprofen for my knee.
About a week ago I brought my parents Explorer home from the airport. I stopped as a small town gas station in my county, when I left I got pulled over. As soon as I pulled off to the side of the road I knew what I did, the daytime running lamps were on but I didn't turn the switch so the tail lights weren't on. Sheriff walked up and asked if I knew why he pulled me over, I told him why and he laughed. The sheriff asked if my parents were on vacation and where they went, we chit chatted for a couple of minutes, bummed a smoke from me, then he went on his way. He didn't give me a warning or even say to turn the lights on.
We have a pretty good Sheriff, he'd rather give you a verbal warning than have to do paperwork. I'm in a small county though, about 2500 people.
I was pulled over for having one of those pine tree air fresheners hanging from my rear view mirror. He gave me a fix it ticket.
That's against the law?
He said it was a windshield obstruction.
I was also in a very small town, just under 2,000 people. It has it's advantages and disadvantages.
Lmao so everyone who buys them is breaking the law then? I probably would have fought that ticket. Seems like he made much more work for himself than necessary.
