Your making a call was throwing weight/connections around.
Your phone call caused someone to "throw their weight around".
Or rather as a result of your phone call, someone throw their weight around.
Thought of two other question for you:
1) Do you remember the “beat cop”/patrol officer that you dropped the dime on? It would not surprise me if he remembers you. And in a few years, he will have gone through a few promotions and will be a “boss”. What happens if he gets involve when you get pulled over again?
2) A few years from now, another 17, 19, or 21 year old driver gets pulled over and also gets a wave by because he too knows someone. He continues driving and has an accident that he walks away from. But two others are dead. Your wife, your child. How would you feel then about wave bys?
