I just had an experience where the cop was really an asshole to me. I was speeding, not as much as he says I was, but I will admit I was speeding.
I was trying to pass someone, and I was in the far left lane, going over a "hill" on the interstate. The cop was on the downside of the "hill" I hit my brakes when I saw him and tried to slow down. He waved me down (which I think he's not supposed to do)
When I pulled over he waited for about 5 minutes before he put his bullhorn on and told me to "walk to the rear of the vehicle" I did, and he did the usual. I asked for a warning, and started crying because I was VERY VERY upset. I informed him that I was a student on the way home from law school, andI was trying to pass someone, etc.
He was a total dick about it. He told me "you have 5 seconds to sign this ticket..."
When I finally did sign it, and got back in my car, and pulled back onto the interstate HE FOLLOWED ME FOR ABOUT 5 MILES. I slowed down to about 40 and he passed me and sped away.
I need to fight it - the senior partner I'm working for right now can work magic in my home parish, but b/c this is in City of Baton Rouge, I don't know *anyone* We're goign to investigate and see who we can call.
