South Jersey Fun…. NOT!!!

Andi had to take some lunch to her fiancee at his hopefully new job in Somers Point. I drove her there because Drew has the car. On the way down, in Linwood, we passed a spot where the cops were evidently checking to make sure people were wearing seatbelts, had a current inspection sticker and whatnot. I passed through it with no problems at all. On the way back was a whole ‘nother story. The cop on that side of it was a real jerk! I going slowly passed him when all of a sudden he threw his hand up and motioned for me to stop. So I pressed on the brakes and stopped. I opened my window and proceeded to give me a ration of crap. He said to me “Didn’t you see me standing here? I told him “Yes I sure did”. He then told me I was doing at least 40 mph, which was crap because I had my foot on the brake and had another vehicle in front of me – which he didn’t stop. I told him he was wrong and he didn’t like that too much. He kept trying to argue with me and I did something was totally out of character for me.. I argued back. I did nothing wrong. I knew I was in the right and he probably was hating his job by having to stand out in the middle of a crowded, busy road in the heat and humidity instead of sitting in his air conditioned car reading some hydroxycut hoodia reviews.

He finally just said “whatever ma’am” and I went on my way. I had Andi with me. I had the baby with me. I would not drive like some idiot with the most precious cargo in the world with me. I was fuming just about all the way home. If he had given me a ticket I would have fought it and that ticket would not have stood up in court. I don’t know how he could have thought I was doing 40 mph. He didn’t have a radar gun in his hand. He wasn’t following behind me in his own patrol car. He was just being a jerk. Evidently he thought the person behind me was doing something wrong too because he held them up after I was gone and they sat longer than what I did.
