It's all about the car......... had you been driving a stationwagon they'd have laughed it off as grandpa out joy riding or some shit. LOL
I had a decked out 1978 Trans Am for awhile and whenever we took it out, cops would stop in the fucking turning lane here and wait for us to pass.... my hubby had long hair and played in a band at the time so they would think they had themselves a hell raiser or some shit and follow us for a long damn time. Run my plates and the whole fucking bit......
BUT we'd take out the wagon, the exact same cops would pass us and wave..... same hair, same people, same everything but they'd treat us different because of the car......
I went out in it one night and was driving slow, went to make a turn, dropped my cigarette and went to pick it up, swerved a bit but never crossed any of the lines in the road........... this asshole cops pulls me over and wants to do a fucking drunk test on me........ I simply busted out laughing right in his face as hard as I could from the back end of my car........ told him to follow me, raised my arms so he knew I meant him no harm........
Took the ass back to the front door of my car and stepped back.. pointed inside my car for him to take a peek inside, he looked and seen the kids all strapped in in their seatbelts and talking quietly, all 4 of them. Told my girlfriend the officer thought I was drinking, in which case she then busted out laughing at him......... he demanded to know what was so funny..... I gave him my keys and invited him to search my car, give me tests of whatever type he felt the need to do but assured him I DO NOT drink...... nothing more than coffee, tea, and coke. That just because I drove a faster car than his does not mean that I or my family are the partying type. He ran my plates and all my info and came back and told me I was free to go and apologized profusely as he had never seen a cleaner driving record on a 28 yr old woman, then made mention of my husband's car........ imagine his face when I told him that was MY FUCKING CAR!!!!
I guess he put the word out because they never ever fucked with me again........ in fact I WAS speeding one day by myself and the same cop drove by me and waved.
It's all about the damn car you drive........ they think they have a hellraiser when they see a fast car.... lame but it's the damned truth.
boneprone.... I am happy you are out of jail and that you didn't do the shit they said here for a little while....... but I didn't really feel the need to try and back you because with some people backing one only makes it worse for said party... so I didn't dignify it, but I knew better. It sucks that they had a field day with you, but that is the way of the fucking world today.... it's insane.
Lightning, I feel the same as you about driving this way on residential streets babe, you have no idea how many I have given the what fors for driving like mad fools where kids play. lol
