Got pulled over on the 22nd in B.F.E. Parker County on my way home from Mikes Trickshift getting my new turbo converter. Before anyone jumps my case, I was guilty, it was one of those long country roads that feels like it should have a 60-65mph speed limit when in fact it is 45mph.
Got a ticket for 64 in a 45. He was in a Tahoe with no exterior lights (just in the dash/grille), he was coming the opposite direction and I was in the Cobra, by the time I saw him he was pulled into a drive ready to pull out behind me. He followed me (right on my tail) for 2-3 miles (all the while I was doing 50-55mph thinking that was probably the speed limit LOL), then finally he hit the lights and I pulled off the road.
The stop went as expected, not a lot of chit chat, just business. He took my D.L. back to his car, returns and ask for my phone number and my social security number. Not sure why, but I just spouted it out to him (been a while since I've gotten a ticket and was in a hurry to get to the shop.
After I rolled out I got to thinking about it, and wondering WTF he needed my social for and even more WTF did I give it to him.
I had all the right paperwork, D.L., insurance, cars tags/inspection were good, wasn't going 25+mph over, wasn't doing some insane speed. I do think he tried to get me for not mentioning my CHL by telling me he saw I had a CHL and asked if I had a weapon with me (which I didn't). Otherwise it was normal (sans the S.S. question).
Anyone else had this happen?
