Well it only took me five months but I finally got pulled over by a bored state trooper and he gave me the old "Where's your front license plate?" Now I have to get it on there and have an officer verify that it is on. What have you all done in this case? I know I'm not the first this has happened to.

P.S. Thanks for letting me vent a little bit.

As reservists they found it was due to three things 1) controlling power (giving more economically and socially powerful civilians orders and being able to do so with arrogance), 2) cowboyism (carrying a gun and having the right to use it ), and 3) testosterone thrills (driving fast and recklessly, beating up people with nightsticks, gang tackling suspects, etc.). In short, a teenage boy's dream. And both found they loved being reservists for the same reasons.

Now all of us who didn't just fall off a turnip truck know that the vast majority of police officers eventually succumb to the allure of easy money and soon their law enforcement career becomes a very valuable career. They grow up and wisely give more consideration to keeping their career hassle free, and eventually lose the teenage thrill seeker mentality.

Unfortunately, those working traffic violations are the newbies and the hardcore teenage bullies (you don't make a killing on traffic fine bribes).

Do I respect traffic officers - NO, I always see them as uneducated, immature bullies. However, I do try my best to avoid them and its now been 16 years since my last ticket.

Gosh, LOL...I really don't think he was asking for your sympathy...just venting with his vette friends and you got your 27 year panties in a bunch...understandable...think you just need to chill a little, drink a beer and have a little fun with the boys...remember you're retired now, right?....IMHO
