This isn't dramatic so much as funny miscommunication. Last summer, my husband and I were living in Nashville for 3 months during his internship. We lived near a college and graduation had happened the week before. I was driving to do some errands when a cop waves me over.
Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Me: No, sir
Cop: You didn't come to a complete stop at that stop sign.
Me: I didn't?
Cop: Are you student here?
Me: No
Cop: (unbelieving look) Were you a student here?
Me: No
Cop: (confused look) Let me see your ID. (which is an IN license) How long have you been in Tennessee?
Me: Three weeks.
Cop: You have 30 days.
Me: To do what? (thinking - to contest this stupid ticket!)
Cop: To get a Tennessee license
Me: What if my primary residence is in Indiana?
Cop: (tired look) Have a nice day, ma'am.
