New York City
pulled out of a really tight parking spot and then pulled my seatbelt on as I drove along. Looked in the rear view and saw a cop car with no lights on. Stopped at light. looked in rear view again and the lights were now on. I pulled over to the right so they can get by and it was me they were stopping. I turned the radio off, opened my window and placed my hands on the steering wheel. 2 cops one asked me for documentation, other at my passenger side checking out the car and me. I asked what the problem was and she told me to sit back and present my documentation. Told me they witnessed me put my seatbelt on while moving. I said I have it on and that is what matters because I ALWAYS do. They claim I put it on after they put the lights on...not true and they treated me like I just robbed an old lady. I was totally intimidated. I plead not guilty and waiting for court date.
Any words of wisdom?
