Heh. The other night, I flashed my headlights at a SUV that didn't have its lights on. He turned them on just before he passed me, at which point I could see that it was a deputy sheriff's vehicle. Maybe I should've spun around and executed a citizen's arreyust.
If you have a few pops be sure to flip on yr headlights. Police on DUI stakeout look for this. It’s a give away. This was Heather’s first mistake
It’s a good policy to all night time running lights in working order. Being pulled over for broken rear license plate light is a golden oldie. Same for non-functional rear brake light that escapes notice during daytime but not when bars empty out
A guy I met in traffic class has the similar thing happen to him. I don’t recall the details, but he was fighting to keep his license. He told his story, and the cop running the class said it was a case where he got all the wrong breaks. SCARY.
IMHO, sounds like the cop’s the one with a subsatnce abuse problem...

I have a true story about how a friend of mine got some payback for these types of police tactics...
My friend is the postmaster a nearby town post office. The local police started harassing him and his employees because they were going to work at early hours. After being pulled over twice and given field sobriety tests on his way to work by one particularly aggressive cop, he decided it was time for a little payback. Let's just say that cops bills, paychecks and other important documents started getting "lost in the mail" some even got "mistakenly" rerouted to China he also ended up on every junk mail list in the country... After a few months he must have got the message because he hasn't harassed a postal employee since then.
Why should free men have to do all that?
Too bad we all don’t have that kind of power.
Ahh, the Newman strategy. Nice!
Welcome to the Brave new World of facist Nazi Cops of Mesa
This is the direct result of MADD
We let these Idiot Mothers run Amuck, and Pass Draconian
legislation, then leftist Morons let it Grow into the Monster it is Today.
Ruined lives because of some bitter Mothers who cant get over the deaths of their Children
and want to punish anyone who has a drink.
Screw MADD and the Idiots who Helped them.
Good way to attract an "Interfering With a Police Officer" or "Failure to Obey" arrest.
Either way, it's handcuffs and a trip to the local lockup.
Hardly any of them are "mothers" or even genetically or physically capable of becoming "mothers'.
Dark Blue, Light Blue feud.
Are the postal employees and cops in that area of different ethnicities, like the NYPD & NYFD?
They still have drive-in liquor stores in Arizona that are open until midnight ?
And the cop defender contingency checks in.
Although I haven't been to Arizona in decades, I can say probably not.
The State Legislature confiscated all the drive-up windows around here a decade ago.
“Well, she was pulled over at 9:30 PM for driving without her lights on ... “
And I have seen plenty of times driving in the city that the street lights are so bright that you can’t tell if your headlights are on or not
I want to pull or twist the knob.
YES!
I do the same thing in my 98 pickup all the time. Those damn DRl's are on, and if it's still light enough to see the gauges, I don't even think of turning on the lights.
DRL's suck, I hate em.
Fair enough. But just the same, there is this mentality for arresting DUI's and a general presumption of guilt.
On th way to the airport to catch a 6AM flight, it's 4AM and I drift over the fog line while lighting up a cigarette. Imagine, it's 4AM freshly showered, shaved, and wearing a business suit. I get pulled over and the first words out of the deputy's mouth are "have you been drinking"? I politely but firmly told him that he needed to have his eyes checked, and that maybe a CT scan was in order since his sense of smell was gone.
I blame MADD for all this. They are the worst of the totalitarian statist organizations.
