stop! in the name of law!
i almost got a ticket today for disobeying a stop sign. i was going home and i didn't usually take this route but once in a while if my regular route is a little bit jammed, i just took this shortcut to save time. however, as i turned my car without stopping at the stop sign, there it was a police car came from the other direction and he looked right into me and said, "there is a stop sign over there!"
i stopped and must have looked like a racoon got caught digging your dumpster in the middle of the night. "pull to the side, im gonna pull you over," he said. after i showed him my license, registration, and proof of insurance, he told me that he didnt usually charge people for disobeying a stop time unless its really bad. and it was really bad. i didnt stop at all and just rolled thru and turned right into his unbelieving eyes.
nonetheless, a small miracle happened when he asked when was the last time i was charged for traffic violation? i said, "i dont remember." then he said, "ok, if it has been awhile, im just gonna give you a warning instead." a little bit of hope, i assured myself, but dont get it to high. afterall, cops always let me down.
after an agonizing 7 minutes of waiting his decision. he came by my window and said, "this is just a warning!" i can actually hear the angels sing, "hallelujah! hallelujah!"
well actually, it was the sound of a passing train that deafened me and made my heart screamed, "praise the lord!" :)
this actually restored a little bit of dignity i have toward our brave law enforcement force.

Hey....
You're the opposite of me.
Sometimes I brake and stop too much at intersections nowadays... even when I'm supposed to have the right of way.
:P
By the way, I've also just gotten a warning..... from a friend though, not a cop.
He wouldn't buy it when I told him I stay quite close to school, thus the short drive home after class.
Well, then again, I guess my sense of speed might not adhere to local standards :P
