So, Thursday night I was driving through GA on I 20 eastbound half way between Atlanta and Augusta, my usual driving stile on the first lane, but this time I was driving the speed limit because I was a little pressed by the time.
All of a sudden I see a pair of headlights on the fast lane approaching from behind, then kinda slows down and rides by my rear left corner. I was thinking like 'what is this idiot doing?' After about 30 seconds or so he slowed down and fell way behind, then changed lanes. Then about 5 minutes later I saw him approaching fast behind me and before I knew it I saw the dreaded blue lights. I did not think for a second that he was a cop, since I recognize the headlights of a Crown Vic, but he was driving other kind of SUV junk.
Anyways, he came over and told me that he was with so and so Sheriff's department and that he pulled me over because my license plate light was out. I thought that it was strange to have that light out since I check my lights periodically and I just checked my lights the previous day. But you know, anything could have happened on the bumpy Alabama roads.
So, he checked my license and insurance, then sent me on my way telling me to get the light fixed the next day. I felt like asking him to show me which light was out but I wasn't in the mood to open a can of worms. So I left, but I pulled over a mile later to convince myself of the light out thing. Walked back there and all my lights were working properly.
One of Amonger quotes came to my mind: The bad cops make the other 5% look bad. I don't hate cops, but I sure do hate lying cops.
