You owe officers your deference.
How were you driving and did you suspect you were driving crazy and is THAT why you were looking behind you to see that the police were weaving trough traffic to catch up and pull you over?
Sounds like the officer was going after reckless driving at some speed perhaps? That is usually why a cop does that. They don’t look for out of state plates IMO. Maybe out of state folks more often don’t know the local speed limits though.
The officer would have seen you were young, military with a lead foot. I like that you say you were polite and I hope you were.
Are you saying the officer acted like a dirty cop and took cash right there like a bribe or did you mean your ticket relieved your wallet of your wedding cash?
Being young and all maybe also you could have had a little attitude with the police and not have known it. 21 is not known for endless common sense.
Sorry you lost that cash though and if that was a bribe taking cop I hope you turned them in.
No, they owe all citizens deference. Your suggestion otherwise is laughable. Still, I do all I can to keep my dealings with cops cordial.

Are you suggesting that using my mirrors and being aware of traffic around me is… reckless driving? You put a lot of words in my mouth to try to make your point. No, I was not weaving.

That’s pure ignorance on your part. Read:here and here.

I’m saying he sat me in his front seat and threatened to take me to jail if I did not give him cash. He took my money on the spot. I didn’t get a ticket and it never showed up on my record.

At 21 I had been in the military for nearly 3 ½ years. I worked on B-52 Bombers sitting on Nuclear Alert. I had a TS clearance. I had military discipline, new to respect positional authority and knew how to behave.
Are you suggesting it might have been OK to rob me under any circumstance?
