I have had my driver's license for 10 years. I don't speed (more than 5 over) I'm careful about obeying all laws. Well, ok I have accidentally run a few red lights, but not on purpose mostly!
Last night Katie and I were driving home from Ty and Dave's. We pulled onto 55 after a police car. Katie mentioned she was glad he was in front and not following us. Almost as soon as she said that he put on his blinker and pulled to the side of the road, when we passed he started following us. I wasn't too worried, I knew he was running the plates. It was close to 1:00 AM and I'm sure he was looking for suspicious characters. I drove normally and took my turn onto Rolling Hills and he pulled in after me and sure enough, turned on his lights.
Oh crap, so much for my 10 year streak! I'm glad Katie was with me, she found the insurance info and I got out my license, so exciting! He came up to the window and all I could think was, he looks like Jeff Krotzer, how am I supposed to be afraid of him??
He says, "The reason I pulled you over tonight is your tabs are expired". I might have gaped a little I had NO clue. He asked if it was my car and I said yes, he took my license and went to run it. At that point I remembered that the car is NOT in my name and waited for him to come back and billy club me. I guess that little discrepancy -or the fact that it's in dad's name, same last name- didn't bother him because he came back and just told me to get new tabs.
Nice, no ticket, no nothing.
This morning I told mom and she said oh yeah, I forgot about that, we need new tabs. Thanks Ma.
The wholde incident did kind of make me want to be a cop, but I think they frown on the sort of vigilante justice I would bust out. Oh well.
