the right to remain silent

Another Kimli First:

I got pulled over tonight by the police. They flashed their lights at me, and I pulled over, and completely panicked because I’ve NEVER been pulled over before – what if they wanted to frisk me? What if I was cop brutalitied? AHH!

I rolled down both front windows, since we’ve been stopped by cops before because of the tint – but since this cop had only been following us, I didn’t think they were the issue. A (very cute) female cop got out of her car, came up to a visibly nervous me, and started asking questions.

Oh, did I mention that I got pulled over by the police two doors away from my own apartment building?

Ed and Josh were both outside, so they came towards us while the cop talked – my lights were off, which is usually a sign of intoxication. I assured her that while I may be an idiot, I was NOT drunk – Shan and I had gone to Ikea (we never made it, but that’s another story) and had just eaten some dinner before we went home. I somehow managed to turn off all the Mazdabator’s lights – I had no taillights, no running lights, no headlights, no nothin’. The cop checked out my license, was tolerant of my and Shan’s helpless giggles when we realized how stupid the whole situation was, then let us go after I told her a) I was literally 15 feet from home, b) I hadn’t been drinking, c) the owner of the car was standing right in front of it and he could vouch that I wasn’t drunk, and d) I’m really really really sorry!

Naturally, almost everyone in the neighbourhood was outside watching me be pulled over. Awesome! It is excellent that everyone got to witness my stupidity – and it IS funny, and I’m glad the cop pulled me over (but even gladder I wasn’t truly guilty of anything), but yeesh. What a way to end a pretty dull day (hence the lack of quality earlier today).

I’m almost sort of kinda a CRIMINAL!
