At the same time, when you are lit up by the police, if you wish to go somewhere where there is more light or are more witnesses, I've always been told to dial 9-1-1 and give your location and state that for safety reasons you are proceeding to a better lit, more populated area. And you do so at normal speeds.
I don’t know if you saw my other post (#40) to different Freeper, but retired cop turned conservative commentator John Cardillo posted a video of his Tahoe - same model year as the one in this incident - with a piece of paper placed in roughly the same spot in broad daylight. It is - for all practical purposes - impossible to see.
What drives me mad is I used to live in GA at a time when they didn’t have temporary tags. People would just drive on what were ‘dealer tags,’ which were vanity placards of the dealer that sold the car. I made the mistake of driving up to Cincinnati and was pulled over the exact same way; at night and at gun point by Ohio State Troopers. I complied with the directions of the officers - they backed me up, put handcuffs on me, the whole 9-yards - and after they reviewed my paperwork, we all had a good laugh.
But, they couldn’t see any tags and they presumed the car was stolen off the dealer lot, understandably.
