What is the name of your state? IL
I was driving home in a caravan. A bmw was infront and a green car in the left hand lane. We were aproching a lane reduction. The green car turned left and the bmw slamed on its brakes. I honked the horn and he gave me a hand gesture. There was no one in front of him for blocks. I passed him in the left lane using my turn signals. I will even admit I returned the hand gesture.
He was on my tail waving his hand and head out the window. He got besides me and flashed a badge. I told him to learn how to drive and he said I was in trouble for improper lane usage. I drove forward when the light turned green. He saw a local cop and waved him down. The local cop pulled me over. I puled over onto a side street, the off duty cop shook the other one shand and told a big lie. When the cop came to my window I told him what happned. I told him I passed the using a left hand lane. I got a ticket for not using a signal to pass the bmw.
The off duty cop speed down the side street and didnt use a signal to turn when he left. I asked how he could give me a ticket. He said he had to because of the complaint but he wouldnt say he had seen anything to a judge.
I will take the day off for this and I will fight it. But is it a losing battle? The thing I am most angrey at is this off duty cop used the law to get me back for a petty flip off.
