I got pulled over at around 11:00 p.m. on a Friday for “running a Stop sign”. The Stop sign as you leave the actually tiny town of Alex entering on to Hwy 19. As I got my license and insurance out, the officer rudely asked for it. And then asked me if I knew what I did. In all honesty I didn’t. He claims I didn’t even brake, but the sad truth is I did. I came to a complete stop, looked both ways and went as I always do through that town. What I didn’t understand was why would a cop claim I ran a Stop sign when I saw him before I got to the sign, sitting just on the other side of someone’s driveway. What kind of person would see a cop and go “Hey, I’m going to run this Stop sign, right in front of that cop!” I know I wouldn’t. The only thing I could think of for me to have “ran that Stop sign” was maybe I didn’t stop behind it. But he didn’t have to lie saying i didn’t stop at all. So i waited in my car as he brought me a ticket. He told me rudely that I needed to sign it, so I did. Then as I asked him how much this ticket would be, his answer was very rude, about $150. I don’t even live in Alex but i promise i wont be donating any money to their fire department. My first ticket, I will be fighting this in court. I won’t be giving them money to support that town. So watch out! Stop behind the signs in Alex.
