Ugh.. so I was pulled over and given a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt..
Well, I was coming home from work and it was 11:30PM when I got to the corner and got ready to make my right. I saw a police officer parked waiting for speeders, and drunks.. or whatever, and I kindly nodded as I stopped my car at the stop sign. I have a lot of respect for the army, and police.. heck, I go to a criminal justice college!
Right after I complete my turn, I see the lights go on behind me and I slowly pull over to the right. I was so nervous because I have never been stopped that I completely turned the car off, restarted it to take down my mirror, took off my seatbelt, and shut the car again.
He got to my window and asked for my license and insurance information, which was in my glove compartment. I told him it was in there, so I slowly went for it as to not cause any surprise. I asked him what I had been stopped for, and he said, "Routine Stop.. One Moment."
So, I'm nervously shaking because I'm a new driver as I wait for the officer to finish up his checks and he returns to my car. He says to me, I'm giving you a ticket for having no seatbelt on. I said, sir.. officer, please.. I had the seatbelt on until I parked. I took it off because I'm a new driver and I'm nervous and unaware of protocol and the car was parked and OFF. He said, well you had it off when I got to the car..
So, fair or not.. I have a ticket to pay now..
I'm not appearing in court because I can't take time off, and I don't have a chance of possibly proving my word over his that I had it on.
Whats your opinions?
