I went to OK City one Sat. morning with a good friend (he was driving) and we caught a red light in town on the 4 lane. A few seconds later a town cop pulls up on my friend’s side of the car. This cop has an old farmer with him reading a newspaper. As I glanced over I could see the cop looking at us. He then said something to the farmer and they both laughed a bit.

I told my friend to be careful as he left the light on a green. The cop never moved; just sat in the street at the light. When we were about a block away he flipped on the lights and after pulling us over he stated that my friend had "passed him on the right" and he also demanded MY drivers license even though I was only the passenger. I refused to give it to him and my friend got stuck with paying a fine for this totally bogus infraction. Needless to say my friend was very irate and even put his finger in the officer’s face and indirectly threatened him. The cop became very nervous over this and was visibly trembling. Apparently the law enforcement standards there are very low or non-existent.
