Im headed home from working at my local mountain this past winter and pass a cop who has someone pulled over. I break and move over as far as i can (like tires on the dub yellow) but there are cars in the other lane so i couldnt move over all the way. He catches up to me like 10 miles later and says i endangered his life. he said that i made his cruiser shake like i was going to hit it... i drive a jetta and he even clocked me going 1 mile under the speed limit.
But the thing is this cop was a dick to me. A week before this i had a house fire the night my parents were leaving for vacation.. So the officer that responded gave my dad his business card in case he needed anything. My dad asked me to hold on to it for him while he was gone so i put it in my wallet. So when this cop pulled me over and i was finding my license he must have seen that card.
So when he comes back with a ticket, that has no fine listed because its BS in general, he also takes a step forward looks me right in the eye and says "and give me that business card because you shouldnt have it." even after i explained to him why i had it he told me to hand it over.
so the reason im telling this story is because i have the court hearing tomorrow for this.
Im not sure if i should mention that business card ordeal to the judge. I mean the cop was obviously being a duche to me.
And later when my parents found out they called the station and they said that before on my record it said i had run from the police when they flashed their bluies at me and hit at some building then lied to them or some shit which is NOT TRUE, and after talking to the dispatcher they fixed the record. BUT i feel like that influenced the cop to give me that ticket. Im not sure if I should use that in court though.
Any advise at all on how to behave or deal with this at all would be greatly appreciated
+k to all
