Hi Jeff,
Thank you for your advice and service as a Motorcycle Marshall. You guys do great work in keeping our rides safe.
Talking about LEO in a bad mood, this was my experience about 6 months ago:
Police siren. I pulled over and rolled down the window.
Police: "Do you know why I pulled you over?"
Me: ???
Police: "Your bike rack is blocking your license plate."
Me: ********** (confused)
I gave him my DL and after checking he let me go with a warning
Me: "Isn't there an exception for the bike rack?"
Police: "No, there isn't."
I was about to tell him to give me a ticket anyway so we can clear up our understanding of the law in court, but then again, I didn't want to waste the taxpayers' money for his overtime in court.
