Yes i still have a valid tag and valid insurance on it, After my last ticket in this vehicle i decided to put it away and drive my mustang, Yes i deserved the last speeding ticket in question but I had just the speeding ticket and a window tint ticket on my record.
And buddy came over on sunday night, we decided to go to waffle house at about 1030 pm and most everything is closed, My buddy said lets take your delsol I didnt see the hard going 2 miles there and the 2 miles back. Im driving doing exactly the speed limit of 40 mph on a 4 lane road Im in the left lane expecting to make a left turn in less than half a mile. I see in my mirror a cop in the right lane next to me kinda staying behind me in my blind spot, And first i thought im not doing anything wrong.
Then I just knew I was going to be pulled over, I told my buddy we are about to get pulled over and my buddy told me not to be paranoied. I flip my signal for the left turn into the waffle house. He hits the light and sirens and ducks in behind me, I turn my dome light on and park in a spot in a empty . And i have my licence and insurance card ready for the officer.
Cop= Do you know why I pulled you over?
Me+ no sir
Cop= you got a tag light out and i think your window tint is to dark. canI see your licence and insurance
me= I hand him both
cop= Sit tight
me= yes sir
The cop comes back Where you heading sir.
me right here to the walffle house
Cop= At almost 11pm on a sunday night?
Me= yes sir there is not much else open right now.
Cop= Would you let me take a look around in the vehicle?
Me= I dont think pulling me over for a taglight and window tint gives you proable cause to search me so no sir.
Cop= Sit tight
He is back there for almost 20 mins Im telling my buddy something is not right I just know he is going to try and find a reson to search me or arrest me
buddy say to chill im just being paranoid as the officer walks back up.
Cop Mr XXX Im going to need you to step out of the car.
Me Yes sir and I step out.
cop= hands on the trunk
Me= I put my hands on the trunk, I ask the officer what the problem is?
Cop= Your licence is suspended
Me= Sir that is im possable I had just had it renewed on monday what does it say my licence is suspended for?
Cop= I dont know.
The officer then searches my person. And I think im about to be arrested. the officer took my licence and made me sign a form saying he took my licence?
he then tells me to get in my car and go strait home. I ask him should my friend drive my car Since you say my licence is "suspended" the cop replies no just
go strait home. I get in my car and i am very upset over this becase I know my licence is not suspended.
The next day I take off work and have a friend drive me to the dmv, I wait for hours just to find out no my licence is not suspended that the officer was "mistaken" So then I had to pay again for another licence after paying to having payed to have it renued the week before. This is the second time a gwinnett county police office has bold faced lied to me!
Please dont take this as bashing the police the police have helped me in the past and I have met several great police officers, But the two i have had bad experiances with still make me nervious when I see them behind me even when I know im doing nothing wrong, Now that im older almost 27 they dont look at me. But when both of these incidences happend I was 20 and a "white" clean cut collage student. I was not covered in tats or piercings i was not dressed like a thug and I was always well spoken with the officers. And I was still treated like a criminal.
