That shouldn't be "weird", it should be standard procedure.jguzman75 wrote:This was a pretty good stop minus the ticket but what I thought was weird is he never asked where my weapon was...
The only time in my life that I used a radar detector, was the first time I got a speeding ticket (at the age of 28). Go figure. I've been stopped three times for speed since then (17 years), and got tickets two of those three times. I was guilty only one of those times, but the other instance wasn't worth driving halfway across Arkansas to fight. (If you're curious, I had pulled into a parking lot more than a mile from the location of the alleged violation, parked, shut off my car, popped the trunk, and was handing my sons' luggage to their stepfather when the officer pulled in behind me with his blues on. This is a municipality of less than 200 people, with a full time police force of 8 officers. Their city limits just happen to straddle an interstate exit where the limit drops from 70 to 45 more quickly than most people can brake.)
