About ten years ago I got a ticket for an illegal u-turn as the sign prohibiting it was about the size of an index card so I didn’t see it.
I acted genuinely surprised when she told me why she pulled me over and shrugged my shoulders like oops. Ok you got me.
She proceeded to try her damnedest to find something else to stick me with including the fact that I had purchased my vehicle while living at one address while my license reflected a different address where I had moved. It’s illegal to not update your address on your license, so she thought she had a gotcha, but I easily shut that little stunt down.
I had my then thirteen year old daughter in the car with me and the officer was questioning her trying to get her to say that I was kidnapping or trafficking her or something like that. That didn’t work either.
I took my ticket and went on with my life.
A few weeks later, I saw in the paper that she got popped driving drunk with a child in the car.
I’ve never had such a satisfying chuckle though I felt terrible for the child.
