I live in a small town in the middle of Iowa. I was driving home after our football game. We lost, I was tired and sore. I'm about halfway home, and apparently the cops were at the bottom of a hill clocking cars. Now let me give you some background on the cops in my town. They're over their heads with power. Last year, a kid parked in the highschool parking lot sideways and took up 2 spots. The cop was circling the parking lot (which usually makes people late to class as well, because he won't move), and he saw the car. He went over and asked the guy to get out of the car. He did, and asked what the problem was. The cop said to shut up, and threw him on the ground. This guy was the nicest guy you'd meet. He was just trying to cooperate and he got slammed into the ground. And we get daily texts from teachers and coaches before and after school like this: E Waldstein - Cops: Cops are out guys, in the parking lot. BE careful!! P Dudley - Cops are out on 14th street. Avoid it! Then I get pulled over for going 10 over last night. I admit, I was going fast and the cop had every right to pull me over. He did not have the right to be a dick to me. I just wanted to help the officer do whatever he needed to get his job done. I pulled over, turned my radio off, and stayed still so he didn't think I was grabbing for something. This was my first time being pulled over, so I was a bit nervous. He asked for my license and registration, so I gave them to him. Everything was fine until after he ran my stuff. He came back and said he was letting me off with a warning since it was my first time. I had to sign a paper and I asked where. He then proceeded to say "Don't be a -blam!-ing smartass, sing the paper. You know where to sign." I legitimately did not know where to sign. I told him this and he got even angrier. He decided to write me a ticket for resisting police authorization or some shit like that. I just wanted to know where to sign. After all of this, I asked if I should wait for him to turn his lights off before I pulled out, and he said "Don't even think about going anywhere, you talk to me like that?" I didn't know what I said, because I thought it was standard protocol to wait until after the sirens were turned off to drive away, and it was my first time being pulled over, so I just wanted to make sure I didn't make him any angrier. That didn't work. So I had to sit an extra 30 minutes while he lectured me on how to obey the police, I just wanted to know where to sign the warning paper. He took it further than it needed to, and I have a $35 ticket to pay off. The police in this town suck, you can say what you want, but you don't know until you've lived here or had to deal with our cops. I did evry thing you're told to do when you're pulled over. Turn the music down, stay still, cooperate, and don't be a dick. He must have had a bad day or something. I don't know. NWA was right.
