Wyoming Traffic Stops

[Jer]

I've been pulled over 5x in the last year or so.

WY. I was following a local (who was pulling away from me) on a small back road middle of nowhere outside Pinedale. Sheriff pulls me over, not the local who was going faster. He Didn't really harass me. No ticket. Just warned me for going 5 over. I thanked him, we were on our way.

SD. Cruise was set for +3, cruise let it roll away downhill. The officer Didn't harass me, asked if I had a weapon. When I said yes, he said "cool, that's allowed here" he admitted he caught me rolling downhill, didn't sweat it too bad, warned me,I thanked him, he went on his way.

CO. 35mph leaving town. School zone.(high school). I was obeying posted speeds, forgot about the zone. Waved to cop as I passed, he pulled me over and asked why I was going so fast...I suppressed my natural reaction, thanked him, and went on my way. $250 ticket and my insurance is up $400/year.

TX before pot law. My speedo was off, I had cruise set for 78 in a 75, pulled over for 81. I thanked him, He warned me and I went on my way.

TX after pot law. Trooper headed in opposite direction whips a u turn, pulls me over for "dirty license plate on rear". Proceeds to grill me with a barrage of questions.
Where you coming from?
Where you headed? Oh, the oil rigs, those boys love their dope, you bringin em some? Got any pot? Those oil boys love their meth, you sure you're not running them some?


The kicker? I drive the speed limit to +7, do my best to obey posted limits in towns. Hardly ever drive +7 (at night, open straight road, no traffic) mostly I drive +2 to +3. I'm constantly being passed by people in city limits, yet I'm the guy who gets pulled over. 5x in a year.

You don't like getting pulled over? Don't speed.

I'm going on over 2x that length of time w/o a ticket since I started using radar detectors. If I get pulled over and get a ticket I sure as shit will know why I got one too though & won't post on forums acting clueless.

I have one, useless. False signals all the time, so its wadded up in the boot.

Dont misunderstand me captain obvious. I dont mind being pulled over if I deserve it, I TRY not to deserve it, stuff happens.
