League City LEO Encounter....A++
Posted: Thu Oct 27, 2011 11:03 pm
So I am driving down South Shore around about 12:15 in the afternoon, closing in on 518 when I get lit up. I pull over into a gated community access road and a League City policeman walks up to my open window. I am thinking all kinds of things, was I speeding (I don't usually), did I roll the Stop sign..again I don't usually (unlike many others on that stretch 
), did I not use my turn signal to change lane? ... again I am usually very careful about that too.
So up he walks to my window and says "Nothing wrong, sir, but you have a stop(brake) light out on the passenger side, can I see your driver license and POI".
Hand over the insurance, he checks it and hands it back. Hand over the DL and CHL, asks me if the address is still valid. I tell him it is, he hands me back the CHL as if it is nothing he needed to know about! He never asked me if I had a weapon or where it was. He runs the DL, hands it back to me, thanks me very politely and off he goes!
What a relief to get a stop out of the way, and what a double relief to only be stopped for the brake light. Wonderful officer, polite, professional and helpful.
ps Brake light is now fixed :)
