...few nights ago about 11pm driving home from picking my daughter up at her friend's house.Was a two lane secondary road in suburbia that connects a bunch of neighborhoods. I'm the only one on the road heading west. Saw the cop up ahead on north side waiting to turn onto same road... no blinker so not sure which way he plans to go. Mental checklist:
-Had couple beers at dinner but that was around 7pm so no issues there.
-Speedometer... doing about 38 in a 35 so I'm golden.
-Seatbelt buckled
Of course he pulls in behind me but I'm not concerned. Go about 1/4 mile and he's creeping up on my ass. All of the sudden he turns his headlights off... WTF! After a few seconds his lights come back on... all of em. So I pull over. I haven't been pulled over in years. He puts the spotlight on my side mirror so I can't see shit. I roll down the window and put both hands on the wheel cause I know that's how they like it. My daughter says 'please don't argue like at the bowling alley' which is another story but I assured her I would not.
So we're waiting and I could hear him get out of his car but he's doing something back there for awhile before he approaches. He does the flashlight check and noticeably takes a big whiff. Then says 'I thought the lights illuminating your license plate were out... turned off my headlights so I could get a better look and they still looked out but upon close inspection I see they're working fine. Sorry for inconvenience...'
I drove home and checked... both lights on either side of plate are working fine. I know there's not much to this story but BULLSHIT! That is all...
