It's been so long since I have been stopped, I don't even remember when it happened last.

Anyway, I was in Plano leaving work around 15th and 75. I get to the intersection, knowing an officer was directly behind me. I make a deliberate complete stop, signal right, observe traffic then continue right. All of a sudden, the red and blues are flashing in my rearview.

I immediately signal and turn in to a very convenient spot. Light to pullover was about 10 seconds. Windows down, keys on the dash, hand out the window with my id and right hand on the wheel at 12 o'clock. When the officer came to the window, I was informed I failed to stop at a designated stopping point and made a wide right turn. I informed the officer I was armed on the right hip. The officer acknowledged. I also had an expired insurance card in the car. The officer went back to police vehicle and about 7 minutes later came back with a verbal warning for stopping my vehicle in the cross-walk and making a wide right turn. I received a fix-it ticket for insurance.

All-in-all, a perfect stop ( minus the insurance ticket ). The officer was super professional and courteous. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

In fact, when I go and prove my insurance, I will see about leaving a comment somehow. Plano has always impressed me, with my interaction of the police anyway.
