What does DARE(the antidrug program), and travel have to do with each other?
You are going to love this, friends!
Last week, my daughter is presented with the following by the esteemed man in blue known as the DARE officer:
"Let's say you are at a party drinking and getting drunk. I pull up with my lights on. What do you do?"
Hmmm, let's just say my 7th grade daughter has never thought getting drunk was an option in her life, let alone attend such a party, but now that it is in her book as an option, she raises her hand and says,
"I'd run!"
The teacher is aghast. The Trooper says, "What, (calls her by her last name)you'd run?"
She responds, "Well, do you think a logical person would get drunk and then put her hands up and get taken to jail to have your parents called? I don't think so."
He retorts, "You won't run if you don't want to get peppersprayed!"
My daughter's comment emboldens another student who says, "Yeah, right. Wouldn't that look good in the paper - innocent girl gets peppersprayed by cop?"
A few more comments from the class and he quells the uprising.
Now, small town. Same trooper pulls me over yesterday for rolling through a right hand stop sign. Mind you, this is the ONLY stop sign for 50 plus miles in any direction. My bad for not seeing him a half mile away, but really, there is NO traffic here.
He throws the book at me! "blew a stopsign" "tag not on license plate"(in my glovebox due to cold weather), "out of date insurance card"(have it current, just not current one in my glovebox) and of course, "expired DL." Four counts.
I have a perfect record. I hope to never have anything to record anything onto someday, but for now, there is the background.
I plan on appearing for court, but first I must plead NOT guilty to get a hearing. Don't like that.
Will be planning the Marc Stevens approach likely, but what is this I hear about a three day notice to "rescind this contract"?
By the way, he put my nick name on the ticket as opposed to my real first name, put down my SS# though I didn't give it to him, and just handed me my tickets without asking me to sign.
Well now, wasn't that a fun read? Thoughts?
