He immediately jumped in his car and pulled me over. I was put in handcuffs at gun point and driven to the station. The cop claimed that I almost hit him when I drove by at 10mph and then that I tried to out run the cops in my ford escort.
The cop flat out refused to let the prosecutor offer me a plea bargain. The whole ordeal cost me 5 grand in tickets, impound fee's, and lawyer fees. I did learn a lesson... that cops are not special. They are as good, bad, and/or indifferent as the rest of us. I now have a healthy distrust for the police.
