Moving Violation!

I got pulled over this morning for turning off my GPS. Yes, turning off the GPS. The cop insists I was on the phone. When I told him that and showed him my GPS, he said that I was on the phone and wrote the ticket anyway. Then he had the nerve to tell me to drive safely. My driving record is pristine, despite a 50 mile one-way daily commute.

As a long-time proponent of law enforcement, I find myself continuously disappointed when I deal with them one on one. I know they're jaded and deal with the worst in humanity, and I know it's a hard job. But that doesn't mean they can't acknowledge a mistake. Quite frankly, they have never been around when I really needed them and when I had to find my cousins, they gave me the complete runaround, but the one time I do something even remotely questionable, I get pulled over and ticketed. The last time I got pulled over, which, mind you, was 9 YEARS AGO, I totally deserved it, and I paid my dues. This ticket was totally unnecessary, and I'll be fighting it.

The phone records indicate I was neither on the phone nor texting. My driving record is immaculate. The records have been printed and put in a folder along with a copy of the code, and I have marked the date in my calendar. All you had to do was acknowledge the mistake and issue a warning, but now I'll see you in court.

You messed with the wrong Asian.
