H8er cop!
Posted: Sun Apr 30, 2006 7:22 am
Spending the day taking my family to a 5y/o's birthday party in my home town. About an hour away. Not in any kind of rush and only going 70-75 on the interstate following behind a blue ford contour that just had to be infront of me. so I'm just about to my exit in Fon du lac and I see this black unmarked cop sitting in the meadian. The blue contour dives into the right lane traffic knowing he was speeding. I know I wasn't and just continue on, I got less then 2 miles to my exit. I check my mirror and you guessed it, here comes the cop. Thinking he's going after the ford I don't get too excited and find a spot in traffic I can move over to my exit. Next thin I know he's right on my azz in the left lane, then he get's behind me and Bam, red and blue cherries! (removed)!!I wake my wife up and tell her we're pulled over and she tells me if the cop askes that my 4y/o is really 5 (WI JUST past a law replacing the 5y/o have to be in a booster to ANYONE under 95lbs has to be in one?) But the cop walks up and says that the reason he pulled me over (on a buisy interstate highway!) was that he 1.)thought my tint was too dark. 2.)My exhaust was loud (driving 70mph on a interstate highway). 3.)He couldn't tell what state my liscense plate was cause he thought it was too worn away. ((removed)!? We're not in Cali!)I was pissed and was starting to argue with him but my wife kept sqeezing my arm to stop. He had the nerv to say that my car was even too loud when idling on the side of the road! Then he whipped out the 'NEW" tint tester and it told him that I was at 11% and I should be at 50%. I told him they are 20% and no way at 11%!! But he's got the badge and the gun so the judge would believe him I guess.He went back to do the ussual background check and paperwork and when he came back all he gave me was a written warning and seemed to be in a hurry to get going, so I stopped him and started asking him more and more stupid questions just to delay him and make myself feel better for this stupid unnessisary stop when he could of had a speeder. I can understand a city cop pulling me over (and they have) for these minor things, but a state trooper out in the middle of nowhere!? What, is my exhaust going to bother the cows!?? And it's no where near as loud as any motercycle, semi, or muscle car. but do the cops ever pull them over? No way! Sorry, Now I'm venting.My wife had a theory and I have to agree, that the cop wasn't expecting a middle 30y/o white guy with a family in my car looking the way it does.
