After playing ball for two hours on a warm evening, you're tired and still sweating but want to go home to eat and shower. As I was going down Larkspur, I saw a poe with his lights off parked perpendicular to the stop sign. I know 100% I rolled through it since it's on a big hill but I figured the poe was just sleeping or something.

Like clockwork, no more than 5 seconds later the brilliance of flashing red, white and blue lights(somewhat patriotic I guess) consumes my car. I was basically telling myself . . . **** **** ****! I can't afford another ticket on my insurance premium. I've been very good and haven't gotten a ticket in 2+ years(although 3 in a 6 month period prior to that)

I pull over, turn off the engine and put my interior lights, hands on the wheel(hahahahah I've had many prior experiences with this), roll down the windows and just wait. The officer comes up and the following dialogue occurs:

Officer: Did you see that stop sign?
Me: Sir yes sir
Officer: You didn't stop for it
Me: Sir I felt I had stopped and was aware of the stop sign Sir
Officer: Do you have a drivers license?
Me: Sir yes Sir, here it is Sir
Officer: You live in this community and should know better
Me; Sir yes Sir
Officer: I will let you off with a warning, but stop next time
Me: Sir yes Sir, Thank you Sir

After this simple dialogue, I was ecstatic for getting let off. I've been let off a few times before, but also been nailed erroneously multiple times. The CRX was such a cop magnet back in the days. I felt like I was pledging all over again having to refer to him as Sir just to boost his ego. Millbrae poe are notoriously for giving tickets for going 35mph in a 35mph zone but on a rainy day. WTF is that? "You were driving at the posted limit but under rainy conditions." That is pure BS to me but lucky it didn't happen to me but to a high school friend of mine. I'm surprised I didn't get a ticket for tinted front windows and no license plate.



So I attribute not getting the ticket to someone up above looking out for me, all the Karma points I've racked up, being courteous, and being a kiss ***.

 

Good going bro Now if you told you to get out, pull your pants down and spread your cheeks, I gotta say "take the ticket"

Didn't know you lived in Marin... And we gotta have a hoops meet some time...

 

Bri . . . hahahah you gotta do what you gotta do but just not that.

I actually live in Millbrae, Larkspur is a street.
