Thankfully, I Got Stopped by a Cop

[Ronstar]

I got pulled over yesterday as part of the "click it or ticket campaign". I didn't click it so I got a ticket. I always wear my seat belt in my truck because it beeps until I put it on. My car does not remind me, so I sometimes forget to wear it when I'm in the car. For some weird reason, I'm thankful that I got pulled over.

Last year I sat 2 weeks in Grand Jury duty ... indicted ~350 cases. About a 1/3 of them were drug/warrant violations found AFTER stopping the vehicle for a very minor offence (no turn signal, no lights, no seat belt ...).

It's a reason to run the tags and liscense.

Right. In the local paper they run a weekly summary of the police blotter, and all the drug and DUI arrests from autos include a moving violation. Improper lane change is very common after midnight.

I have the dancing turtle decal (also the name of su casa) on the back window.

And have to show my concealed weapons permit on traffic stops.

When you hand over your DL along with your CHL (thats a requirement), they usually will let you go if the offense was fairly trivial.
