I look in the review, and I see the disco lights, I look down and I'm doing 30 in a 25.
The "Park Ranger" walks up, and asks for my papers, I give them to him. I notice in my review, the kid, with his hand on his firearm still in it's holster, ready to fill me full of lead. I said to the professional, "Tell your partner to stand down, I am of no threat." He looked back, and ordered him to "Relax"...exact words, no lie.
Returning to my vehicle, he gave me to tickets, one for speeding, "5 over" and the other for expired proof of insurance, with a have a nice day. I immediately got out, and said, "hey! I gave you the wrong proof of insurance" and after digging it out of the wallet, I gave it to him at the rear bumper of the my car. The kid, said "Get back in the car or I'LL arrest you." This is when I said, Let the adults talk.
When he pepper sprayed me, his partner yelled, "What in hell are you doing man?"
The kid had the responsibility of bringing me to the local Sheriff office for screening. His Partner, wanted nothing to do with it. And again, his partner was the one who told me he would have been fired if I was not impaired... Now why would he tell me something like that?
I showed no signs of intoxication, the little F was lucky I was. If you state the fact I got out of the car, sure, that may be grounds. But why did the emotionally stable partner, take caution, but received my valid Papers, and then tell me, "I'll see what I can do"...
I no why you ask me these things you do. if you were there, you would not be asking... you'd be telling the story.
If you showed no signs, why did the officer say you were impaired?
If you were impaired, why did the officer allow you to return to your car leave citing only the speeding and lack of insurance?
Something is wrong with this picture.
Hmmm. An earlier post said you were guilty of a crime (drinking and 0.08). Now you are saying you showed no signs of intoxication. Something is wrong with this picture.
When I worked for Keego Harbor for a couple years, there was a little bastard wannabe working part-time for Sylvan Lake whose whole purpose in life was finding and busting drunks (as opposed to, say, patrolling the neighborhoods of Sylvan Lake or getting his ass out of the car and walking around the business district). He had a particular hard-on for those with skin color darker than his own, and he had no problem inventing probably cause. His peers finally convinced their 68-year old chief to show the guy the door before he became a liability rather than just an embarassment. Sadly, last I heard he was causing trouble for some other small department. Should have ended up in jail, IMO.
Hope y'all enjoyed the concert, btw!
