I'm on a roll recently. I have been stopped 2 times in 9 days, 1 time in each of my cars.
Saturday before last I was being followed. I knew it was coming, I had an open 18 pack of beer in the back of my Porsche with no tint and the rear seat folded down. I preempted any delay by acting like I was trying to hide a can of beer, bam, red and blues. He asked if I knew why I was being stopped. I played dumb, "no sir". Expired inspection, it's been out for 6 months! Doh! "Officer, I just plain forgot." He runs my license, then proceeded to give me a lesson on open containers which was totally incorrect, but lets me off, no ticket.
Today I was stopped for expired tags in front of my house. Sir, do you know the reason I stopped you? "I have absolutely no idea officer (handing him my lic. and ins.)." Mind taking a look at your registration sticker. "Sure, it expires September of 2007 (with a huge smile)." Well I guess I had no reason to stop you then did I? "I guess not!" I thought it said 3 (being March) have a good day. Obviously I didn't get a ticket for that one.
