So last night on my way home from class, kinda in a hurry, no particular reason other than I was really tired and needed my nightly coffe…
Comming off albany shaker road in the left hand turn I “ran” the red light. Basicly i was going to run the yellow it turned red right before i went under it and I sure as hell was going to come to a screeching hault, personaly i think thats more dangerous then running it when it just turned red (theres that delay between red and green for the other side)
So im cruising down behind this truck going about 50mph in a 45, no biggie, generaly i do 55 or so on Rt 7 and no cops ever bothered me. The car in front of us was going slow so the truck went around them I pursuited to follow and changed lanes ( I did use my blinker, thats one habbit i always got down because of bikers and old ladys… next thing I know I hear the annoying sound of a police cruiser behind me, he was not directly behind me so i moved as close to the left as possible to let him by, after a mintue and realizeing he wasnt going anywhere i proceeded to pull over. I figured he saw me run the red light, no biggie… I figured hed understand that i dident want to squeel to a hault and well daddys a cop (belive it or not I hate telling cops that because i feel like the little prick that can get away with anything. If I fuck up, i dont expect to get out of everything, but being that my father was a cop i think i should get a little respect, not screaming in my face, especialy the fact that im never rude to a cop!)
So here comes mr. badass colonie cop up to my window
heres the conversation:
“Where the fuck do you think your going Dale Earnheardt?”
“Excuse me sir?”
“You heard me where are you going so fast”
“Uhh home sir… May I ask why you pulled me over?”
“Sure, Failure to stop at a red light, crossing over into a median, unsafe lane change, following to closely, speeding, wreckless endangerment”
There was a few other things to but ehh whatever
“Sir I know I failed to stop at the red light… but I.”
“Give me your license registration bla bla bla”
As I hand him i tell him my father is a retired officer, hoping he may not be so harsh on me, even thou the only thing i think i did wrong was the red light"
“Just so you know officer my father is a retired rotterdam cop”
“I dont give a shit who he is that doesnt give you the right to do what you did”
“I know”
After all that he starts going over my whole car
“No front plate, thats another ticket”
“Roll up your window half way… tints illegal to”
“Wheres your insurance card”
I hand it to him
“This one is garbage you better find another one or theres another ticket to add to your collection tonight”
After all this I sit in my car for about 30 mins…
The cop comes back, does the whole bullshit ticket explaing shit
“Have a good night officer” I dident say it in a smartass way
“Excuse me?”
“I said have a good night”
At this point he realized i wasnt a douchebag kid and that he was being a cocksucker
He talked to me for a few minutes really cool after he calemd down, but i still think they way he spoke to me was completely disrespectfull, not just to me but for anyone, and no im not saying I should have special privleges, but sometimes it comes with the territory… I think having a father whos a retired officer, none the less all the bullshit he went thru after his accident while on duty, I should get a little more respect, I would have been completely fine if he wasnt a dickhead and handed me my tickets, but not he was a royal cocksucker at first.
So he told me if my father is who i said he was to give him a call, so were wating for the officer to call us back
I walked away with
Following to closely
Running a red light
No front plate
No insurance (becuase he was to lazy to look it up thru registration)
I have a feeling he either A. Go carpul tunnel writeing me my ticket and gave up
and B. Cooled the fuck down half way thru them
