man I must be a cop magnet. I look weird, drive old cars and trucks, and drive S-L-O-W, ie the speed limit. for some reason I'm getting pulled over constantly. cutting my hair after ten years hasn't helped at all.
so yesterday I'm headed up to the deer lease to get my pop-up and bring it home. I'm on a two lane highway and naturally people are getting pissed off and flying around me, my 82 F100 with a 350 Rancher in the back. I had a stretch with a nice paved shoulder so out of courtesy I pulled over to let the other people go by. well, the vehicle immediately behind me did not pass. so I thought, okay whatever and got back into the lane.
a few miles ahead there is a four way stop and the late model pickup is behind me. as soon as the light turns green I don't make it but maybe a hundred yards and they run up and hit the lights and siren. unmarked, normal pickup. so I'm like....okay.....looks like a felony stop, but the dudes have beards, vests and heat, the partner is getting in my blind spot to take my ass out if there is a need. so the driver walks up and I'm kinda like "uh....is there something unusual going on?"
I told em I had my pistol on me, they took it and we stepped around and the minute the CHL came out they were letting me go, explaining I looked strange, driving slow etc.... whatever. I paid my respects to them for what they do as LEO and I was on my way.
