I got pulled over 2 times in 3 days, total of 3 times in 2 weeks. Never got a ticket for any of it. Just intimidation. I got the "Looks Fast" excuse for pulling me over.
"It looked like you took off from that light fast. You know I can impound your car for 30 days for that." Not my fault I had semi trucks on both sides of me at the light.
Then "It looked like you were going awefully fast there. In a hurry? I'd probably give you a ticket, so you're lucky I'm looking for a missing person." No way in hell, my buddy even saw me driving by.
Then a jerk off in a hummer almost rearended me in a parking lot then proceeded to creep on up on my ass. It was at the the exit of the parking lot next to a popular bar patio area. So everyone was pointing and laughing at goober in the hummer. I took off pretty fast to put some distance on the guy. He proceeds to follow me through town and tailgate me as I crept down the road at just under the speed limit. Get to a red light, he pulls behind, light turns green I punch it, do a quick lane change and stomp the brake, he stops in his tracks ahead of me. So I just pull behind him. I keep my distance but he stops and goes, all at about 5 mph. I just didn't want some guy in a H2 on dubs following me. Who knows what type of person or persons is in there. Eventually after a mile, the cops catch on and pull us both over. New young guy is cool asks if I had something to drink, I tell him the truth. 1 beer, two hours ago. The other cop, old bastard with a bad rep in town, goes to the hummer, speaks to him briefly and lets him go.... I'm thinking, WTF? Then the old cop proceeds to give me FSTs. If you've never done them before, I'll tell you now, it's TOUGH even when sober and shakey and nervous because a fleet of cops just pulled you over. I pass them, completely sober, but still, VERY tough. Old cop proceeds to tell me, "That was the owner of that complex. Said he was concerned for his patrons safety and you might be drunk. Drive like a jackass in my town and I WILL impound your car. If I pull you over for it "again", I WILL impound your car."
Here's the thing, I did NOTHING wrong, other than peeling away just once initially to get away from the nutso. I saw the guy in the bar but didn't know who he was or what he drove. Just knew he was drinking like a fish for hours. He got embarrassed he nearly plowed me over infront of his own bar, in front of his own customers and employees who all pointed and laughed at him. Then I proceeded to make him eat my rubber when I pulled out. Pissed him off most likely. The cop should have been checking all his info and making HIM do FSTs. Cop is a known asshole to young guys in general. I wonder if Rich white guy in expensive hummer against young asian guy in sports car has anything to do with it. Guy never even asked me what the situation was or my side. Just FST'ed my ass, then chewed me out for somethign I didn't do. Once again, NO ticket.
Sorry for the long story.. Just pisses me off!
