| I drove Casper without a muffler and expired tags and the two?policeman in the gas station parking lot didn't even look my way.?Leigh ran a redlight, intentionally, on our way to the emergency room a few weeks ago.?The officer cresting the hill who no doubt saw this did not stop us.?Today, Shay and I took a ride to a hardware store I did not even know existed.?I purchased my wares and decided we would take a short joyride further down the road to have a look around.?We were travelling along taking in the scenery as I serached for possible future movie locales when I noticed a?sherrif's deputy?following me.?I had seen this deputy and another one?in a parking lot we passed a few minutes before, but did not realize they were behind me until a few minutes later.?I was adhering to the speed laws so I wasn't too concerned.?Then the dreaded blue lights began flashing.?We were on a stretch of road with no safe pull off so I had to go a little further than I'd have liked before actually stopping.?The deputy approached and asked if I had blue lights in the grill of my car.???I told him I did not.?For those who don't know my car was once used in law enforcement and still looks very much like a cop car.?I gave him my license and could not find my insurance card, but the dispatcher confirmed I was covered.?Why did he stop me??It was for a crime I did not commit.?Recently a woman was stopped neared Flintstone by a car with flashing blue lights in the grill.??She apparently thought she was being stopped by a police officer, but this was not the case.?Two men told her to exit the car and then she was raped at gunpoint.?I commended the officer on his diligence in searching for the pieces of shit that did this to that woman, though I did not use such language with the officer.?He questioned where the car had been purchased and then he asked me to exit the car and took some information about me.?I opened the hood of the car for him to show him that I had no illegal hookups.??After a few more questions he told me I was free to go.?Shay and I headed back home with a unique story for a Saturday afternoon.?Thank heavens I did not have some of my Midnight Howl costumes in the back of the car, as they look very much like?Walker County's Sheriff?Deparment?uniforms.?I may have?had an impromptu showing of the film at my home with two deputies as my audience.?"See, I used these in this movie!"??I will give my car a good once-over tomorrow to make sure all the "sheriff" props are in the house and not in the car.?I am very glad that the Walker County Sheriff's Department is taking such measures to see that the two montsters who did this to that poor woman are taken off the street.?This was one time I?didn't mind?being pulled over. |
