Sounds like you had grounds for a lawsuit on that one...

When I was around 20, I got pulled over on Baxter driving home late at night for speeding (I was probably doing around 60)

I was, amazingly, stone cold sober that particular night.

It was raining a monsoon. When the blue lights came on, I slowed down and drove about half a mile and pulled into a church parking lot that had a "drop off" arch by the door.

The cop (Athens PD) - came up to my window and he was HOT.

"Why they hell did you keep driving when I turned on my lights?"

"I pulled in here so we could be under cover and you wouldn't have to get wet."

His face went from hard assed drill sergeant to surprised. He smiled and said, "Slow it down son and have a good night."

I could have easily been arrested for doing 60 in what was either a 20 or 35; especially with the weather conditions...
