What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Vermont
I have been wondering about this for a few years now.
About 4 years ago when I got my car traded in, I was headed home one day.
-I got to a 4 way intersection.
-Woman on my left is the ONLY ONE else there. She is waving me through like she's pissed. I am moving about 2mph, and I get sick of watching her flail like a rat on a hot coal, and I pull out.
-Admittedly, I KNOW I did a rolling stop.
-A cop about 7 doors over; Barrels out of his spot, cutting off the car behind him... barrels into the same intersection with NO BLINKER, cutting off the woman who had been waving me out.... did a u-turn in the middle of that intersection... cut her off AGAIN going about 15mph out of the same turn I did AGAIN with no blinker... and pulled me over.
Now, I didn't get a ticket.
But if I had, and I decided to go fight it, seeing as how he broke multiple laws in pulling me over, and 2 other drivers could have hit him because of his reckless way of pulling me over... how do you think that would have gone over in court?
And no... I'm not exaggerating any of the description of how I got pulled over. I genuinely believe the reason I didn't get the ticket, is because he knew what he did to pull me over would have gotten him serious trouble for endangering other people at a busy intersection with pedestrians nearby.
