We were leaving Panama City. I was following my son. We were in a 55mph zone. There was a Silver Pick up truck weaving in and out of traffic, plus he was speeding. We noticed a police car across the median and he turned in his lights and made s u-turn we just new he was going after the pick up truck. When he got behind me I turned on my blinker and got in the right lane. He went around me, my son was getting over and the officer got over too, and pulled my son over. So I pulled over onto the side of the road and kept my distance to wait on my son. I put my flashers on and turned my car off. A few minutes later the Officer O yelled at me to pull forward, I just assumed he didn’t want me behind him even though I was a good distance so I did want I was asked to do. A few minutes later he walks up to my car, I assumed he was gonna tell me I couldn’t park there. He surprised me , he started yelling at me asking for my liscense and registration I ask why, and explained that I was just waiting for my son and he starts yelling at me again saying I was speeding and tailgating. I couldn’t believe this. #1. How can you speed and tailgate but the main reason I was upset was because he never pulled me over. If I would have not pulled over to wait in my son I would not have gotten two tickets. Yeah two tickets one for speeding and one for tailgating. Crazy right. He wrote us both tickets saying we were going 62 in a 45. We were 50 feet from the 65mph sign of which I took a picture. We were actually in a 55mph zone. We were both going with the flow of traffic. There was no court date just a envelope to pay the fines. Mine were $165.00 and $253.00. My sons ticket is $253.00. This officer O is rude and I truly believe he only stops people with nice cars and out of state plates. Beware. This must be how his town survives. I will be seeking legal advise.
