I HATE THE POLICE

[kierandraven]

So i have very little faith or respect for our legal and law enforcement system as is. However today, I got "pulled over" if you want to call it that, by a fifty year old woman riding a fucking horse. And she gave me a ticket, not for me not wearing my seat belt and not for Morgan not wearing her seat belt, which we both were, but for Morgan not

i hate the seatbelt law for adults. we're adults for fucks sake, it harms no one else. BLAH. I think kids should be wearing seatbelts only because they are so much smaller (more potential for more serious damage) and seatbelts are made for adults so i think if they're small enough they should be in booster seats. But age is so arbitrary. Pixie's fine if you guys get into a wreck. the seatbelt goes across her hipbones not belly and chest not neck-and-face? she's fine.

seatbelt laws are the devil.

i didn't know mounted cops COULD pull you over. wow.

You know my feelings on seat belts. The booster seat law is BS too. They were (and maybe they have) trying to pass a law that you have to keep your kid in a booster seat until they are above the height of 4'11". If that was put in place... I wouldn't have been out of a booster seat until I was able to drive!!! :-P

And ditto on the mounted cops pulling you over thing. Didn't know that was possible.

I started laughing hysterically at the "Fucking Horse!"
...I'm sorry. But thats just funny!
-It sucks you got a ticket... But the cop on the horse is pretty funny!

...
-Anyways... I personally start freaking out if someone is in the car with me without their seatbelt. Thats my rule... I don't care what other people do in thier own cars when driving, but with me a person either wears it or doesn't get in. TOTALLY freaks me out... But that my mother's fault for making me crazy!

...The Booster Seat law is Crap because its almost IMPOSSIBLE to get a 6 year old (*Even A 4-5 Year Old For That Matter*) to sit in a booster seat!
-Bullshit. The people that passed that law either Didn't have kids, or had other people caring for their kids so they simply don't know what thats like! Grah! Fucking Laws sometimes!

That was what we call an end of the month quota, my friend. A quota apparently so far behind that they had everyone out on whatever vehicle/animal they could manage.

When you got the ticket would have been the perfect time for Pixie to blurt out "Why did Hitler fail". Alas, it was not to be.

Sorry bro.

Well it's funny cause i almost got arrested. I got very mouthy. Pixie asked me why we were stopped and I replied loud enough so the cop could hear me "Because the bad lady over there is bored and has nothing better to do than pick on law abiding citizens and because she has a quota to fill."

She came over and told me that it was in my best interest to quiet down to which I replied, "It's in your best interest to give me my ticket so that I can go"
