It was a couple years ago, that I was with a co-worker in Longview. My co-worker was driving and we got pulled over leaving a Whatataburger because the driver didn't have his seat belt on. He asked the driver to exit the car and he did. with a cigar in his hand, he bent down to set the cigar against his tire, so he could retrieve it later. The DPS threatened to ticket him for littering.. It was pretty obvious my friend was only trying to be polite and not blow smoke in his face.
At any rate, he got the ticket. I don't know if it is the same rude DPS officer that EastTexas had the bad luck to run into or whether there is a systematic problem with DPS officers in Longview.
