Pigs. (FGCU) Kristina Dwyer

I got pulled over on my way home tonight from a narcotics anonymous meeting. I wasn’t doing anything wrong, I was using my signals, I was sober, clean, whatever you might call it; straight. I was with some guy listening to what he wanted to play for the dance that he was going to DJ tomorrow night when I saw the lights. I had one of those moments, you know, the one where your like ” can’t be me..” Clearly it was me, I switched lanes, and pulled off on some Juliet blvd in a white Lexus with Naval tags. I prayed for a warning. Surely enough it was me the cop wanted. He walked over, apparently bored, asked the normal questions and walked away. When he returned, the only thing he asked was why i had kept switching lanes. So I asked the officer if it was against the law to switch lanes frequently while using a signal. He took it as sarcasm and radio-ed me in. I wasn’t trying to be a smartass but seriously,  wasn’t speeding, there was no question of DUI and it was foggy out. Period, end of story. Was it the car? The end of the month ticket quota? He came back, after a long delay ( serioiusly ten minutes ) only to tell me to be more decisive on which lane I’d perfer. SERIOUSLY? Was he that bored? Are our tax dollars going to support his family? I just don’t get it.
