This is a personal post. It's for the Mundelein cop who caught me going around an idiot who stayed behind the white line instead of pulling into the intersection like she should, but wasn't able to give me a ticket.
Dude, why the attitude? You lectured me like I was your 12 year old kid caught showing naked lady pictures to the other kids at recess. I remember a time when cops showed their superiority by putting on an air of condescending indifference, politely calling you "sir" while writing up enough tickets to make their quota. But not you. You had to cop an attitude (pun intended).
Remember guy, I was making illegal left hand turns while you were still pooping your pants, and I will probably be making them long after you've been kicked off the force for accepting a hummer from a nearsighted teenager in the back of your squad car. So just politely tell me what I did wrong and address me with the condescending air of indifference I've so richly earned.
And for anyone else reading this, no I didn't get the ticket. Apparently he was on his way to another call and couldn't take the time to write it out. So I got away with one, which is probably what set him off in the first place. Justice rules!
Finally, to the lady in the silver Toyota who was too fearful to pull out into the intersection so others could make the light: stay off the road between the hours of 6:00 AM and 2:00 PM. You are far too timid to be driving a motor vehicle out where real people are.
As for me, after this close call I promise to be more patient behind the wheel. Which means I will take more time to look around for cops before doing it again.

haha most excellent post. you feel better now, don't you?
Anyway this reminds me of when 3 girlfriends and I were approached by a park ranger and his flashlight after midnight at Devil's Lake in WI. He told us to wait there and he'd bring his SUV back to write us all tickets. (My offense is another story). He proceeds to make us all sit down at a picnic table while he drives his SUV up to picnic table and burns out our retinas with the four beaming sets of lights on his SUV. As he's writing tickets in the pitch black he chuckles and says "So which lights are brighter, the headlights or the ones on top of the car?" jerk.
Amazing how quickly a little power can go to some people's heads. If you looked like a bunch of rough characters out to do some real damage that's one thing. But a bunch of young girls just having a good time? Come on!
He must've had some real trouble getting dates in high school.
