Subject: DML: Coming Home Tonight - Harrassed by the San Diego Sheriff
>
> As I was coming home this morning around 2:00 AM, driving the rat racer,
> some local Sheriff decided it was in his best interest to pull me over.
> First as I was driving down Bolbier Blvd. I saw him come out of the
> apartment complex. It was then I knew this is going to be a problem.
>
> Making the 'S' bends in the road, running the speed limit, he finally
caught
> up to me. With the Suzuki lowered, there is nothing more distraction than
> some headlights in your rearview mirror and on your rear end. I pulled in
> the right lane and then he decided to run his lights.
>
> Pulled in the 7-11 store parking lot, then motor still running, I
> automatically reached for the auto paperwork.
>
> As he (Officer Myers) approach my door, I remind him to slow down with the
> over weight dangerous Crown Vic Ford wanna-be cruiser unless he wanted to
> end up on two wheels. (That was hit in your face approach...LOL)
>
> He asked for the registration and license and I gave to him as I had it in
> my hand. I asked him why did he pulled me over since I was not speedy or
> violating any law. "WAS IT BECAUSE OF THE CAR PROFILE?" (Ouch! Another
> hit the face approach....)
>
> He said, it was due to expired tags. As I indicated, you have the
paperwork
> in your hands, you can read. (Ouch! Another strike. I was very hot and
> bothered, especially tired.) I asked him again, why did you pull me
other?
> Was it because of the car? I wanted him to admit that the car profile -
> RICER LOOK - was the very reason he was behind me in the first place. If
I
> was driving my other vehicles, Astro van, Dodges, I would not have be
tailed
> first then license ran through his onboard DMV computer.
>
> Anyway, his bud shows up as a backup but couldn't make the effort to get
out
> the car. I should have said - "DO YOU NEED A DONUT AND SOME COFFEE?"
>
> I proceed to call the woman to let her know, that I was being harassed by

> gun. He stopped as I turned back to show him the phone. HAHAHAHHAHAHAAA
> (Dude, you should never trust anyone...)
>
> As I explained, I went to DMV Saturday to renew the tags and it is not
> problem to determine why they didn't fulfill there part in ensuring I was
> paid in full. As I indicated, you have the receipt or DMV paperwork, it

>
> After a few choice confrontational gestures on both parts, I can see he
was

IT).
> I must have counted five times I said that. Man. Was I being a nerd or a
> complete idiot. Hey! Sleep deprived.
>
> Finally he admitted the exhaust note was to loud and that he could write
me
> a ticket. "GO FOR IT" I remarked. (OUCH...big time slam coming up
here).
> I will have you in court explaining to the Judge the same thing as I did
> with the CHP who tried that and through it out. The exhaust is within the
> prescribed law. (Now I am telling him he has no clue about the exhaust DB
> range prescribed under DMV code---double whammy on him). Then to educate
him
> as an officer of the law, I explained, it is not the exhaust noise but all
> engine and that this car use to be a SSCA racer. My Dodge truck stock, is
> louder than this and draws attention (referring to the Hemi engine-damn
> loud) more than the little street rat car.
>
> We went around for the next ten minutes and finally I told him, "...you
know
> me due to every day - five days a week, I come through here in your beat
> area about this time...." (Ok! Now he was turning red. Hey! The officer
> should know his beat and cars that drive the same route).
>
> Now complete the saga, I said, ARE WE DONE NOW? (Ouch...slap him one hard
> as I looked over to the other patrol car). As I put my paperwork in the
> glove box, I back up to his car - should of hit it since it was parked
> halfway out in the right lane - made a turned and told the other officer,
> "YOU JUST WASTED TEN MINUTES OF YOUR TIME. NEXT TIME FIND SOME ELSE TO
DO.
> I WILL BE DRIVING THROUGH HERE TONIGHT ...AGAIN!!." (Ok! I think they got
