Well, in a nutshell, it just seems like I was singled out last night b/c I was out of state. First thing he asked me when I gave him my license was "Do you still live at *my address* in NJ"? Why do cops ask a question like that? To obviously try and bait the person they pull over into saying that no, they actually live in the trooper's state (MD). Then the trooper has many other options like ticketing the person for not having the right address on their license.Originally posted by: sward666
Man, all that crap is academic - you were in MD, not PA (I would bet that you can be ticketed/fined for <6mph over, but whatever).
My very first speeding ticket was in MD (at Bethesda Naval Hospital) for 4mph over. Don't bitch.
And what I really don't get is all of your ranting about the revenue-collecting scam that traffic enforcement is, when the trooper let you off with a WARNING!
Add to the fact that there were other drivers going faster than me in the left lane... People regularly do 80mph on that road and I've yet to see one of them get pulled over, let alone at 1:30am doing 10 over in the right lane.
All in all, I wouldn't have cared if he had given my license back. I now think it was intentional so it just burns me that someone would do that just to inconvenience the people that they are supposed to "protect and serve". I never said anything rude or snide to warrant such treatment.
EDIT: Ironically, I have to fill out some paperwork from HR today and of course it asks me for my driver's license #. Talk about bad luck![]()
Cops ask everyone if they still live at the address listed on the license... and there's nothing wrong with it. Youre supposed to have your current address on your current license.
All he's doing is trying to ascertain that you're following the law. BECAUSE THATS WHAT COPS ARE PAID TO DO. Honestly, take your fvcking head out of your ass.
