It's a forum. F-O-R-U-M. Thanks for going out of the way to be really rude to fellow members. This type of unity really helps us keep our gun rights and enjoy each other's company.

I enjoy everyones company...But then again I am a sick individual...

I think "txinvestigator's" got some issues, and that those are personal and private...

He does come across very argumentative, with a blend of expertise in his life experiences...

His reaction to the alledged "bashing" of L.E. is a good example of why we should never question or antagonize Law Enforcement...

Unless you know them and are good friends with them...Then all bets are off...

My Grandmother has one of those decked out Cadillacs with automatic everything...

One of the features is an automatic switch that is connected to a sensor that looks ahead for oncoming traffic or bright light sources...Something like that...

Well it "automatically" dims your high beams if the "factory" settings are adjusted to a certain level...I don't think its adjustable by the driver...

So if we trust a machine to do this function for us, and it doesn't work to a Law Enforcement Officers determination...I guess thats call enough to pull someone over to see if they are intoxicated...Never mind the switch issue...

Obviously the officer was fishing. Accusing you of lying and partying when the luggage was in plain view in the back seat was unproffessional.

Any proffessional would have already examined the back seat for security reasons alone.

Thanks for you post tex45acp

txinvestigator,

I totally disagree with you!!! What constitutes the distance I must dim the lights. My drivers education training back in the 70's stated that when I saw another vehicle I must dim my headlights. I immediately dimmed the lights when I saw another set coming around the short curve.
This trooper did in fact make a bogus stop and gave me a warning ticket on a bogus charge. This is why I am so upset about it. I could understand if he followed me, ran my plate, then my license and found some problems with my driving record, but I have had no citations for over 25 years!!!!!!!!! And that is not because I have been lucky!!!

You may be right...I have never seen a citation issued for that offence...

But then again "fishing", without a license, is illegal as well..
