I just got pulled over coming home for lunch. I have had my doors off since earlier this week. The exhange was as follows:
OPD: (walks tentatively up to vehicle) Hi...I pulled you over because you have no mudflaps and uh..no doors.
ME: You are right, I don't. I see Jeeps driving around all day long with no doors on.
OPD: Well Mainly I pulled you over because of the mudflaps. Can I see your license?
ME: (I pull my ID card out of my wallet and while reaching for my ad tem paper in the glovebox) You know I've had my truck lifted like this for about 3 years now and I've never been pulled over for mudflaps.
OPD: Really? Hmm that's hard to believe.
OPD:(takes ID card) don't you have a licence?
ME: I had to surrender it at the scene, that's what that other paper explains.
OPD: Oh...OK hang on a minute whileI have a look at this.
So he walks back up to the truck and says
OPD: So who do you work for?
ME: Oakdale Auto Parts.
OPD: OK...(hands me back my stuff) I don't want you to think this is personal, I don't know you...We've never met before. I don't want you to think that we are picking on you.
ME: OK
OPD: drive safely, have a nice day.
I think he could hear me
as I drove off.
He had nothing legal to bust me on and knew it, plus with what happened last week, I would have filed a harassment charge.
