Any cops or deputies or police people in the Lounge as of right now?

[Jamastiene]

I have a question for you.

I was on a 5 lane highway today on my way to Subway. I'm one of those notorious speed limit following types, so I know this whole incident that happened wasn't over my speed. The highway was like this. Two lanes were going in one direction and two lanes were going in the other direction. The lane in the middle was for turning left. I turned on my signal and moved into the middle lane to make my left turn into Subway.

There was a county sherrif's deputy car coming from the other direction (not in the turning lane) while I was waiting. He got closer and made a strange beeping sound. He didn't really turn the signal on, but just made the small beep sound they sometimes make. After he passed me, I turned into Subway and waited to see what he wanted. I was going there anyhow, so I decided to just wait before I went inside. Sure enough, he turned around, came back and pulled in right behind me close enough to block me in. He sat there a few seconds and then pulled away.

Any of you who are cops mind telling me what that was all about, because I am confused? What did I do wrong if anything or was he just looking for someone who had a car that fit my description or what? I'm totally confused by the whole incident. It made no sense, considering I am pretty sure I did nothing wrong and they didn't exactly clue me in on why they pulled in behind me for like 5 seconds and then left. That was just fucking weird. That's all I can say. The whole incident left me with the feeling of :wtf:

1. You have the right to remain silent...

[Jamastiene]

5. Anything I do or do not say can be used against me...

:P

[Seabiscuit]

9. And anything you say you do or don't do or say you did when you didn't

or say you didn't when you did or didn't say you don't when you did or don't say you diddled when you should have daddled will land you in Gitmo!

Even thinking about it all could get you renditioned for having a totally scrambled brain!

2. If he left without saying anything to you

I think it is safe to assume that all is well.

6. Good. I don't need the cops thinking

I am someone I am not. That's the last thing I need with my strange sense of humor. Can you see me getting arrested? The cop would be all serious and I'd be all worried at first and then make jokes later. I would probably end up like Courtney Love with a ping pong ball duct taped in my mouth and wearing a straight jacket while riding in one of those padded vans real quick.

3. My dear Jamastiene......

I am not a cop, but this sounds to me as though he might have thought you resembled someone he was looking for.....

After he ran your plates, he must have decided that he was mistaken...

Just my guess, though!

I wouldn't worry about it.......:hug:

[Jamastiene]

7. Thanks, CP.

You know me. I would worry myself into a ball of nerves otherwise. :hug:

4. It must have been your DU sticker.

[Jamastiene]

8. I actually don't have one.

I don't have any bumper stickers. He was coming from the other direction when he beeped me.
