Got pulled over the other night. Going 45 in a 35. Shame on me I guess...
Police officer was courteous, I responded in kind. Produced the paperwork upon request. He went back to his car and ran my name against their Big Brother Database, came back a minute later, gave me a warning and then we talked about deer hunting for ten minutes.
I could have raised a big stink, got my panties in a wad and been hostile about the whole situation but then I'd probably either be in a courtroom or hospital bed right now. Instead, I learned that Officer Allen is married with kids, enjoys bow-hunting and took a 6-point buck last month.
