    Ha ha, had a run in w/ one of the spies. White impala video taping me. Called police and filed a report of driver harassing/interfering with me driving. It was near W. Memphis terminal. Got told it was a contractor w/ safety dept. by safety guy there but that was the extent.

    I don't even try to fight my approach to any job if called out for stupid policy BS is/has always been "if its that bad fire me if not then let me go back to work" haven't been fired once. They have to do this stuff to cover their ### and care about it as much as we do when it comes to small stuff

    If the video is too short to determine if you followed too close or if the driver just cut in front of you, then you should raise that issue. Chances are, you do it right 99.9% of the time and maybe even that time.

    The reality is, the snoop/contractors are always in high traffic areas where things happen the fastest, major highways are merging, and you are most likely to get caught in a .1% situation. If it gets you on your toes in those high traffic situations, then you are ahead of the game. Don't take it too personally and use it as a learning tool.

    Leave yourself an out and the easiest place to do that is right in front of you. Be safe!
