Well if the attorney gets me off the hook then I’ll still be qualified, I will be sure to mention to him that this is doubly important because my MusicBanter mod chances are at stake

Reading that story made my whiteness hurt.

...but luckily what that cop doesn’t know is that my primary client at work is the biggest law firm in my city and I am super tight with the lawyer that represents the police department here. He gave me a quick “make a copy of the citation and put it on my desk” when I showed him. So maybe I’ll get out of it with a warning still.

finally a real reason to defund the police

He was probably just under pressure to hit his quota

"Quotas" in ****ing police work is one of the most backwards ass things in the entire universe. They WANT people to be breaking the law

I think I heard that there were studies done that suggested talking on the phone while driving is just as dangerous as texting... You don't even have to look at the screen. Even if you are using bluetooth it's the distraction that makes it dangerous apparently.

Sounds like bull**** to me but that's just what I heard. Last time I got pulled over I had no licence or anything plus I was buzzed and they just let me go with a warning lol. I love being white.

when the cop pulled you over were you like "Do you know who I am sir?? I was voted most qualified to be a mod 9 times on music banter. I'll have your badge for this!"

The cop said that I needed to be driving "hands free," so if I were using bluetooth or speaker phone I would have been fine apparently. I'd be interested in seeing those studies but it's still absurd to me, the first offense for someone that wasn't even looking at their phone should be just a warning in 100% of cases as far as I'm concerned

No but I definitely made sure that I sounded pissed off when he was finished up. I should have yelled ACAB at him
