re: Afternoon Discussion Thread

I had an Alabama state trooper write me up for a seatbelt ticket when I was driving home down 82 south of Tuscaloosa. If you know where I'm talking about, it's a divided highway. He was headed towards Tuscaloosa and would have gotten an eye full of late afternoon sun if he was looking at my truck. The best part is that I did indeed have my seatbelt on. I honestly thought he had pulled me over for speeding because I was going 5 or 6 over. I only took my seatbelt off after I stopped on the side of the road. It had locked up and I was trying to get my insurance out of the glovebox for him to speed up the bullshite. He told me he saw me with my seatbelt off and I told him he absolutely did not. He told me if I didn't sign the ticket and admit to not wearing my seatbelt, he would take me to jail. It was a 10 dollar ticket so I bit the bullet. I have yet to encounter a state trooper who wasn't a raging a-hole I wanted to punch in the throat.
