Police stops are pretty short if you just do as they say. Sign the ticket. It’s over.
Unless you want to discuss the ticket and go round and round. Get arrested, etc.
Yeah but they’re getting a bit funny of late.
Last year I was headed out to my mothers place to help her with some yard work. Anyhow, there had been some road construction and things were a bit different since I last traveled that road.
Woooop! I was speeding but hadn’t even determined what the speed limit was at the time I was nailed. Three different signs—anyhow that’s off point.
He was real nosy, it was 8am? 9am?, I have an very clean Oldsmobile, not a hotrod and not a junker. I suppose I wasn’t dressed to the nines—I was dressed for yard work.
He wanted to know where I was coming from, where I was going. He was very young, too. He really made me uncomfortable, I don’t think a policeman has made me nervous since I was a teen but he sure did. It was a darn interrogation!
I don’t have any stickers on my car—I like a clean car. I had no tickets, I certainly have no warrants. I was going to help my mom for gosh sakes!
I’ve had less trouble going onto base at odd hours. He acted as if I was going through some check point. I stopped at the next picnic area and had to call my mom and get over my jitters. It truly unnerved me.
He wasn’t like police that I recall from the past. Watching this policeman on video makes me think it’s the new normal.
