Ok so let me tell you guys about my experience with a police officer. So Oscar, Miguel, and I went to see a movie on Friday night and let me tell you, the movie was not worth what I went through. Anyway, we were driving home and I switched lanes last minute because I wasn't too familiar with the area and Oscar and Miguel were giving me directions. There was no one behind me, no one beside me, the street was empty except for some jeep in front of me. So the light turned yellow as I got to it and I went through that one and the next one which was only about a block away, not even. So I went through 2 YELLOW lights. Now I don't know about you guys, but when I went to driving school a yellow light means slow down, proceed with caution. I also learned that if you're going to fast when a light turns yellow then just go through it. So, I went through them. As soon as I went through the 2nd one, *woop woop* the police pull me over. I have no fuckin idea where he came from, because he was not behind me. So he pulls me over and says:
"Do you know you not only went through 1 but 2 Red lights?"
I looked at him and said "No I went through 2 Yellow lights."
He asks "Yes, and what does a yellow light mean?" (Now right there, proves to me that he knew I went through YELLOW lights.)
So I responded "Slow down."
He yells back "NO IT MEANS STOP, A YELLOW LIGHT MEANS STOP! Most people think it means slow down but it doesn't. IT MEANS STOP!"
So he asks for my license and registration, which 1. I had the toughest time taking out my license because of my wallet being so full of crap, and 2. I was driving Oscar's Mom's car. I give them to him after finally getting them out and sit there for about 10 minutes while he sits in his cruiser. Now I'm thinking "Eh...this is my first offense I'll just get a warning and he'll let me go."
The officer comes back to the car and says "Heres your citation, next time be careful when there's a cop behind you." I'm thinking "Well, I didn't even see you. Anyway, this ticket can't be that much its my first offense." I look at the citation $250!!!!! FOR WHAT?!?! The ticket says: "Failure to stop at Red light (150), and Unsafe Lane Change (100)."
Ok, so he knew I went through yellow lights, and where the fuck does the "unsafe lane change" come in?! He was not behind me or beside me when I was changing lanes so I come to the conclusion that if he was, then he didn't have his head lights on.
So I called my uncle, who is a cop, and I told him the whole story. He calls the officer and tells him I don't know what but the officer ripped up my ticket. He said "Don't worry I'm ripping up the ticket, she was very nice to me. I just thought she was trying to cut me off when she switched lanes." Now WHY THE FUCK WOULD I CUT A COP OFF?!?! And why did he give me a ticket for going through 2 red lights when he knew it was yellow?!?!
Ok...I had to get that off my chest. Sorry this is so long. I know Oscar is going to say I went through red lights, but I didn't, even the cop proves that in his statement, which is pretty dumb. Anyway, my conclusion, cops suck even though my uncle is a cop and the officer ripped up my ticket. I still hate him.
