So this one time when I got pulled over by a cop car : lunch break storytime
Saturday nite I had one coors light at 7pm at a costume party thats it. I drank water the rest of the time, and didnt say my goodbyes until I stayed three hours to make sure I was good. I left the party at 10pm. I turned on my lights and my gps to go. got out to a street and a police car followed me for one stop light and a half and I pulled over. I was incredibly frightened and had taken my heeled boots off to drive the vehicle without ruining the carpet upholstery below. He was really forceful with me and assumed I was drunk asking for my registration and license and whether Id been arrested or received a dui before and asked how much I had to drink. I had pulled my hair down and had taken my wig off right before leaving the event. I explained with a direct answer, I had one beer and he asked what kind I said coors light. he told me my lights werent on correctly and asked me tostep out of the car. I stood on the sidewalk in front of him in my socks because I stupidly forgot flats and he said "Now stand perfectly still, dont move a muscle." He did a finger eye test to see if I would pass and smelt my awesome garlic breath. I did and then he asked me why my lights were not right and I explained succinctly without challenging " I bought this new car yesterday and the lights I showed were on, Im sorry that they were not on correctly, (to myself I thought, with Tori Im used to that switch, on the civic you have to turn them all the way on the handle on the steer wheel) I am still getting used to this car." Had this guy been cute, I am certain I would be more nervous or just flat out tried to attempt flirting, yeah probably not. He asked for my first and last name and my date of birth. His good looking partner drove in and asked if he should take over and laughed as I stood there in almost shake mode out of fear. He walked to the car and said "this is how your lights should be turned on." he flicked them on and told me I could go but to turn them on and drive safely. he did not hand me any paperwork or citations or anything of the kind and I was not given a breathalyzer test. I took a uturn and headed home. I am just letting you know about my experience. I was super frightened and they were incredibly invasive. This makes me realize so much. Having stood there defenseless and scared, God protected last night. i wanted to say, "I dont know what its like to get arrested sir, I dont want to, but for those who have, I dont know what you went through and I dont know what it is like. But I ask you this, is it worth it? One night can change your whole life and you may not even realize it. I wouldn't recommend flirting unless you have tried this trick before, but with an angry cop, my advice is shut your mouth, wait for direction, and for heaven sakes don't drive and drive. Call a cab, call a friend, make it work, because your life will be in big trouble if you don't. Thank God for being safe. Citrus Heights cops and any just put on a show to be cool and maybe they go pick up donuts after, who knows... stay safe this weekend people!
