Hey Everyone,
Okay everyone I just want to know if my anger is justified or unjustified. The other day I was driving home on a two lane highway at night and was pulled over for speeding. I was doing "76 in a 65" I guess the speed limit drops a few miles per hour on the road I was on at night. Oh well, my bad. Anyway, the Highway Patrol Officer came up to my window as they do usually and informed me of the speedlimit then took my licence and all that jazz back to his car. He told me he'd only ticket me for "75 in a 65" that way I didn't get points on my record. "Okay, thanks?" I say.
Now for the odd part. He sits back in his car for like I swear to God 15 minutes, then out of no where, he turns ever freaking light on his car on and just beams the back of my car. I mean it was so bright I had to turn all my mirrors away and hold my head off to the side to avoid the light. Then he comes back to my car 5 minutes later and says "Sorry about the lights, Your drivers license flagged my computer saying you have a CCW permit. Are you carrying now?" To which I replied "yes? why?" Then he proceeded to question me, "Why do you have a CCW permit? Why are you Carrying? What are you Carrying?" etc....I was absolutely floored. I couldnt believe I was being interrogated for speeding and having a CCW. ***? Does this seem odd to anyone else? Should I have told him to back the "F" off? Do I have to admit to carrying? Isn't that the freaking point of a CCW, that i get to freaking conceal that ?????
Let me know if i'm justified...or if i'm just being a little overly pissed off?
Thanks all....oh and btw...it was only a 20 dollar ticket...first speeding ticket ever and i was honest about not knowing about the speedlimit...i think i should have gotten a warning...cops anger me sometimes.
