Thats a good way to get on the "list" with the rook.

My dad left his friends house one night after a bit of pool, (and maybe drinking). He stopped at the light at the entrance to the neighborhood, and turned left when the light turned green. Cop instantly came flying after him from the parking lot across the street. My dad instantly played the "you had no reason to pull me over card", which is bold these days cause they can pull anything on you. Somehow he won without the cop taking his license or insurance. From that moment on we had Grove City cops following his vehicle whenever they spotted us, especially leaving that same neighborhood late at night. Its subsided a bit now that 2-3 years have passed.

Hmmm, cops don't have enough to do in that area?

You're not in socal anymore... you california punk!

I'm with you though. I have family in law enforcement so i give them respect till they pull shit like that. I think I would have been in jail or something if a F'in punk cop kid started to "dress me down" like that. Especially if I wasn't doing anything wrong.

But that is the big question...

Were you?

It's pretty damn hard to split lanes and do wild maneuverings when your scooter isn't faster than a fucking Toyota Prius.

Hmmmmmmm I've seen people be douchebags on bicycles. The size of the motor doesn't matter.

Sorry about the luck. It's very clear someone was simply jealous of your fantastic life and just wanted to bring you down. Keep rockin' in man...

Wow. It sucks that a cop would take the time to harass you like that.

This comment made me think of this dude... [hopefully not a repost?]

His safety crocs, among other things, didn't work.
