So here is how it went down: Dallas Bike cop steps out into traffic. lases me and flags me down for "speeding in a school zone."twomillenium wrote:That might be a good way to describe it.

I have never been asked if I was carrying after handing over both TXDL and LTC. My only surprise is that they didn't run a roadside credit check and ask for my payment on the spot.mjmccluskey wrote:Another Newbie Question...
Was reading an article with a bit about "Duty to Inform" and it got me thinking. Let's say routine traffic stop for speeding. The officer approaches, my windows are down and my hands are at rest on the steering wheel. The officer will likely ask something like, "Do you know why I pulled you over?".
My initial thought would be to answer something like, " No sir I do not, but I want to let you know.......".
So, what do you say? When do you say it?
I said: "really, where is the school?". He answered, "I dunno".
So, I did not raise my hand, I was called on! Subsequently I engaged a lawyer, he kept changing the court date until the officer didn't show, case dismissed. It is simply a great scam and everyone involved profits, except for the driver. With all due respect, there are more value-adding activities, in terms of increasing public safety, then what that officer was doing that morning. I was taking my wife to work as her car was in the shop, and I don't think that the stop, including checking my paperwork and issuing the invoice, took more than 60 seconds.
