Hey, so I got a ticket...this was a while back...and I am definitely going to court.

It all happened like this...I was driving with my friend (Silver 08 CSRT owner) on my way to his house to put in a K&N intake on his car. Driving along doing the speed limit with my radar going nuts past a police station. I even pushed in the clutch and coasted past just to make sure my car was quiet for them. When, I get through the intersection, which was a long intersection with staggered cross streets, and I look in my rear view mirror only to see a cop coming down the street with his lights on. Now, at this point I am of course still doing the speed limit...maybe 5 over to be honest...and the cop is about 15-20 car lengths behind me. So I pull over thinking he is on his was to another call...when he pulls up behind me!

I put down my windows and he asks for my information. I hand him everything including a gold PBA card (this states I am a family member of an officer) and he asks where I am going. I explain that I am on my way to my firends house who the officer then realizes is friend of his who works in the town court. So he then asks what I do for a living. I told him that I was an elementary school teacher...he then asks if I have any points on my licence and of course I told him the truth..."no." He says he is going to go back to his car just to check my licence and that I would be on my way.

He came back and handed me a 2 point ticket for running a red light!!! I could not believe it...if a family member of an officer with someone from the town court in his passenger seat who is a elementary school teacher with no points doesn't get out of a ticket!!!!! WTF!!! Plus, he said that his side of the intersection turned green as I was passing the front of his car...which is B.S....my buddy even agreed with me and we were both wondering why the cop was soooooo far behind me when I was doing the limit?

Needless to say I am going to court...which by the way I had to have rescheduled due to working at a hospital to speak to children with diabetes. Unbelievable.
