Car on left goes then it was my turn and I went. I was there before the police car and not by a second but very obvious. As I go through, he puts the lights on and pulls me over. He rushed up to my car and was pretty upset. I remained calm and asked what I did wrong. He went on a diatribe about how I need to respect the law and just because of my car type doesn't allow me to again not respect the law. Unfortunately, I laughed, when I get in a heated situation sometimes my natural reflex is to laugh. The fun then began. I was asked to get out of my vehicle and put my hands on my hood. I asked why and he said I was mocking him and not allowing him to gather information about his stop. I got heated and told him, either put the bracelets on me and arrest me or get your supervisor here.
Backup came, a female police person, and she asked me exactly what happened. I told her then she asked me to stay on the side of the road. She speaks with angry and they both come back and tell me I am free to go and to drive safe. I told her that was not good enough and got his badge number. Not going to do much but I will make a complaint, what a joke!
Always suxx to get pulled over and even more to have to get out and lean on the hood. At least it didn't end badly for you. I have a rule of thumb in such situations. I always let the cop go first, no matter who got there first.
