So I went home for lunch yesterday, on my way back to the office I see a police car turn his cherries on immediately behind me. And unfortunately it was me he was pulling over.
The first thing I noticed was he was a State Patrolmen, the 2nd thing I noticed when he took my license and reg. that a 2nd State cop pulls beside him (I pulled into a parking lot, we were on a main 5 lane road) kind of thought that was funny.
The reason he pulls me over "I noticed you wasn't wearing your seat belt"...now I had a problem with that because I saw this guy on the other side of the road - mind you this was a 5 lane road - so he "noticed" I wasn't wearing a belt when we were going 40 mph EACH...in the OPPOSITE direction??? - this guy must have the ability to stop time for crying out loud!
So then - a 3rd patrol car pulls in front of me - for Pete's sake talk about causing a scene! My truck is completely surrounded by 3 State Police cars - and for a seatbelt???

So when the officer gets back to my door - I asked him "did you guys think I was someone else or something?" - he says "not sure what you mean sir", I said "there is 3 patrol cars surrounding my vehicle for a seat belt violation?" he says - "we are just in the area stepping up patrols" ...so he gives me the $25 citation and I move on.

Well that's not all...as it happens one of my bindery guys comes in laughing saying "what did you get pulled over for dude??, hell the one cop turned his lights on as the other one did a U-Turn (remember this is a main 5 lane road - during lunch hour) right in the middle of the road and goes after you like you just shot somebody "

Let me get this straight...an officer during lunch hour traffic...get's a 2nd officer to help him stop traffic so he can do a U-Turn on a very busy road....to go after a guy who is not wearing his seat-belt????!!!

I respect officers, I really do - but these guys are assholes and endanger public saftey for nothing.
