I got pulled over last night. Turns out my license plate light is burned out. I stopped, turned off my car, turned on the interior lights and stayed in the car.
I’m white the office was black. It ended up with a repair order and a shared laugh after I popped off a quick joke.
Here in NY, you get a ticket with a deferred fine for a busted headlight.
As long as you can prove that you had your headlight fixed within a day, you can send your ticket to the DMV with the auto mechanic shop’s repair receipt.
I know because I just had the problem a few months ago and was pulled over by a police officer.
I wonder why Walter Scott did that caused him to be tasered. What ever it is, it has to be more than a busted tail light.
I got pulled over one night in Texas for speeding. I had NY plates. I too turned on my interior lights and kept my hands on the top of the wheel during the entire stop.
BTW, those night time speed limits on the wide open interstate in Texas are rediculas.
