Yeah, I would have been fine with a ticket, although it would have been the first ticket that I would have received because I really did overlook the sign. All my other tickets I knew I was either knowingly speeding, or not obeying traffic laws so I really deserved it. ninemm, I think I was right by Fair Park actually!

Got pulled over in Dallas tonight on the way home from some friends wedding festivities around 9:45 with my wife in tow. Leaving a nice neighborhood I quickly found myself in a bad neighborhood with confusing street layouts which is the usual for me when I am navigating Dallas (its not like this in Fort Worth by the way!) After going back and forth under the freeway about 3 times, I finally find an entrance ramp and slowed to a roll before hitting it to get on the freeway. Apparently it was a stop sign and not a yield, but I couldn't see it because there was a tricked out Suburban stopped at the corner with the passengers talking to some friends and obstructing the sign. None the less I was in the wrong and the Deputy Sheriff waiting about a block ahead thought so too and pulled me over. I rolled down the window, turned off the car, turned on the dome light and took the keys out of the ignition. He came to the door stated his name, told me why he pulled me over asked for the credentials, I handed over both ID's and insurance, he asked where we were going, and asked if I had my weapon. I said "yes", and he asked where it was and I told him it was in the door pocket (with both hands on the wheel), he tried to peer in to see it but couldn't and then walked back to the car. He returned and gave me a "warning", and was walking back to his car before I could even thank him, or apologize. I can't complain, but it wouldn't hurt if he was a bit more polite. I guess he may have expected someone different when he pulled us over considering the neighborhood we were in, so I guess he didn't exactly plan on flipping on the nice cop switch. Oh well, thankfully no ticket, and I will feel much more comfortable should I be pulled over again while carrying.
