On Wednesday the 22nd, a Houston Police Officer stopped me 'cause I went trough a "stop sign". Third time I've been pulled since I got my LTC 26 years ago, every time they let me go with a verbal warning.
God bless all police officers out there!
:tiphat:
I am of the opinion that age plays a huge factor. When they see the driver is an older person, over 55, they cut us some extra slack. Maybe it is due to the respect our generation shows for them. I got pulled over in Allen a month ago for doing 65 in a 35. I figured I was about to get my first ticket in 10 years. He came to the window and gave me a written warning. I was extremely polite and did the yes sir/no sir thing. I knew I was in the wrong. No point in acting a fool over it. I let my LTC expire because of constitutional carry so I know an LTC had nothing to do with it.
I agree with this view. Last week I was pulled over by College Station PD for not slowing fast after exiting Hwy 6 (no excuse... I just didn't drop my speed fast enough). I am convinced, sadly, that the officer simply took pity on a poor Toyota-Corolla-driving old man who turned out to also have an LTC. Got away with a warning. Gratefully.
