My friend you will see local cops do target truckers AND OUT OF STATE TAGS more. It is easy money but if you break the law you break the law. 2 people going in the same direction the same speed 5 mph over the limit one is a car the other is a truck who gets stopped? Yes you were breaking the law so was the other.. but you won't be able to make a court date.. State Troopers I find to be more likely to stop the car as they know how a ticket can affect your ability to make a living

>>>>Their reason is for homeland security, so that no one will blow up the Dam, yet they did not stop me until after I crossed the Dam.
They didn't want to stop you in the middle so you could hit your detonator! -
Would it be a violation of a traffic signal to stop at a green light?
Just wondering if anyone has had an experience with that? -

I got pulled over by an African American police officer. I had my rebel flag necklace on. When he came up to the truck, he said, "Sir, you know I can throw you in jail right?"
I was like WTF????
I was going down and all of the sudden, I see red and blue flashing lights. There was no shoulder for at least a half of a mile. So I put my flashers on and slowed it down to 15 mph and got to the shoulder. He said that he thought I was running from him. Yeah right. I told him I am not going to stop in the middle of a 4 lane highway at 12 midnight running us both at risk of being ran over by a drunk. So I found the safest spot to pull over.
He was very ####y with me especially when he was eyeing my necklace. He was only putting 2 and 2 together. I have a shaved head, sporting the rebel flag, and a nascar shirt on.
He said I ran a red light. I told him, "no sir, that light was green". But I was getting the ticket anyway.
So yep, I got a ticket running a green light and I was almost thrown in jail for trying to keep both the officer and myself safe....
2 weeks later, my wife, 2 daughters, and myself went to the IHOP and he was the rent a cop on duty. (being that it was very late at night) He sure was eyeing me and my family. I so wanted to get even with him, but that would have made me no better than him. -
Besides, that's no different than Possum Booger AL. Saw that one when I got lost.... And I think we've got a member on here who's from that area.
bergy Thanks this.
