But before [the deputy] could get very far with his explanation, Ms. Thomas held up her right arm. There was no phone in it. There had never been a phone in it because she has no right hand.

    I got pulled over in a drunk driving operation while leaving a rural bar. The original reason they gave when pulling me over was lane violation, which I assume means going over the lines?

    I was sober, there to check out a local band, then left when it was over. I’m also a very good driver, no accidents, no tickets for moving violations, nor parking violations, in 20 years of driving.

    Well, I had a dash cam, but it was hidden from rear view by fuzzy dice. When he got my info and saw that, he realized his pretense for pulling me over in the first place would be challenged (he couldn’t lie about why because they record audio), and entrapment is illegal here, so he didn’t even give me time to dig out my insurance card, and he had to let me off with warnings.

    Which is amazing because I didn’t realize, because I hadn’t driven much in the past couple years, that my registration was over a year expired. Oops.

    If he hadn’t been a lying shitbag, or I hadn’t had a dashcam that would clearly show I didn’t do what he pulled me over for, that traffic stop wouldn’t have been a waste of time for him and I’d be out some money.

    ACAB.

    Also, invest in a dash cam, everyone! They are cheap and can save your ass! Everyone should have one because ACAB!
