What is the name of your state? NJ
Ok here is the situation. I received a "failure to stop" ticket from a very unruley officer who wouldn't let me state my side of the offense.
I was coming down a street to make a right, and a couple crossed the cross walk (I came close to a stop) and another couple was waiting to go, they stayed put so i made my right turn. A cop down the street follows me closely as I make a left onto another street and go down the stop sign (still hasn't pulled me over). I stop, and make a right turn to merge onto a major highway. The cop follows as i merge in traffic (still nothing from cop), I drive a mile down the road and attempt to merge into the fast lane, and all of a sudden the cop comes FLYing up forcing me to back into my lane again, so I didn't cut him off. He hits his breaks and then pulls in behind me (still nothing), few hundred more feet he pulls me over.
The cop gets to my window "Licence and Reg", so I asked what I did wrong, cop Yells at me "I"M NOT GOING TO ASK YOU AGAIN!." Long story short he gives me a ticket for not coming to a complete stop where the people were crossing the road. The cop was a complete d*ck and wouldn't let me tell my side. I tried to ask him why he waited till over a mile down the road to pull me over, and not even pull me over when I did the supposed offense?
I mean theres got to be a law here, the cop was practically riding me the whole time and almost harassing my driving. I almost got into an accident because this guy was tailing me!
I'm going to try to fight it. But whats up with a cops etiquette and limits on pulling me over for an offense?!
