Another cop stop
As I was driving through Easley, SC today during a light snow, I got pulled over by a city cop. The excuse he gave he gave for pulling me over was that he didn't see my lights on and that he wanted to make sure that they were in working order (but there were a lot of cars out on the road without their lights on at the time). He did the usual license/registration/insurance routine, then after about 5 minutes 2 more police cars pull up, then he gets out of his car, gives me back my documents (no ticket or warning, just curiousity), and then he and the other cops start asking me questions about my car. Then as I was driving off here comes yet another city police car, too late to join the gathering of what must have been about half of the cops in Easley. I'm gotten totally used to this by now so it doesn't bother me. I figure that once they get educated about my car, they would be less likely to make another curiousity traffic stop in the future. At least this one stop satisfied the curiousity of a good portion of all the cops in Easley.
