But this morning, I got pulled over for a ticket. I was on a four lane (two lanes each direction) farm to market road this morning in a really heavily populated area. It was about 7:30 so the road was jam packed with people going to work or school. I was in about a one mile backup at a red light. Now, 95% of the cars are waiting at the red light to continue straight. I was planning to turn right and there is a shoulder.
I wait in the traffic, through several light changes. Finally, I am getting close to the light and it goes red one last time. The shoulder is clear and so, I cross the white line onto the shoulder, go past about 3 cars and then the right turn lane starts. Another car is coming down the shoulder behind me. We both make the right turn and a cop comes out of the bushes and pulls us both over.
I had no idea what the fuck he was doing. When he came to the window I asked him what I did wrong. He said "Improper pass". Then he walks back to his car. When he came back, I said "I have no idea what you are talking about". He said I skipped waiting in the traffic and passed everyone on the shoulder. I said, "Bullshit. I sat in that traffic for 20 minutes." He said, "I have you on video." I said, "Bullshit. There is no way you have me on video driving down that shoulder to avoid waiting. Let me see it." He said, "You'll have to subpoena it." I said, "Pussy." He said, "Are we going to have a problem." I said, "Not here." Then he walked off.
I am so pissed. I'll probably mail the mother fucking ticket to a lawyer and let him handle it and do nothing about it.
