About ...Right you are, but you already know that.<br /><br /> About 12 or 13 years ago I was going back home(Louisiana at the time)from Datona Bike Week and was stopped for speeding(guilty as chargerd but no ticket)I had a few seconds before the PoPo caught up to where I had pulled over to the shoulder of the road. I put these few seconds to my favor and took out my Registration and Insurance Card got out of my Pick-up and locked the doors. The nice PoPo arived as I was standing by the locked door and asked my why I got out of the Truck and I replied that I was Tired of sitting and that I had My Reg. and Insurance in hand and presented him with My Papers and Drivers Lic. and asked him what was the problem. He said I was Speeding he then asked to look into the Truck and I replied sure Go Ahead. When he attempted to open the door and discovered it looked he asked me to open the door and I replied no that he could look through the windows to see inside. This confused him to say the least. He asked me to open the door again and I replied no that a traffic violation was not ground to search my truck I pointed to my keys hanging on my belt and said I would not resist in any manner but that I would not give my permission for him to open my truck either. I aked if I was free to go and he knew he had been had and replied yes I could be on my way.<br /><br /> It was pretty funny at the time as the nice PoPo was compleatly flabergasted to find a Citizen that was not in fear and awe of his authority.<br /><br /> I should not have answered any of his questions but he was young and in-exereinced and the temptation was to much to resist.<br /><br /> Dennis<br /> III<br /> TexasDennis308https://www.blogger.com/profile/07890267243094484300noreply@blogger.com
