AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH COPS! THEY ARE TOO FUCKING OVER ZEALOUS!
In my own experience, It was the middle of January and it was so cold it snowed the next day. I was driving home from dinner at my friend's house with my gf. We get off of work about 10pm so we weren't done and on our way back home until about 12am. I signal and turn from the inner lane to the left turn lane, right after I get in it, the light turns green, I don't even get a chance to fully stop before it's green and I can go. In the left turn lane opposite of me a police cruiser. I continue after making my lane change to make the turn, as you know who own a car, after changing lanes and straightening out your turn signal automatically turns off. Well this is what happened, if I had had more time to stop and not just keep on through I might have turned the signal back on if I had known it was off. I get pulled over about 3 blocks down from the light. He asks me for license and registration and insurance, I hand it over to him and he checks it and gives it back, he then asks me if my turn signals are out, I respond no, he has me turn them on to check, and he confirms they work. He then asks me why I didn't signal, I told him that I thought it was still on from the lane change because the light changed so quickly I didn't have time to even notice it had turned off. He then asks me in a menacing voice "How much Marijauna have you been smoking tonight!?!" I reply "None, I don't do that kinda stuff." He comes back with, "Well your whole car reaks of it! Get out of the car! We're searching your vehicle!!" Opens the door and literally pulls me out of it and slams me against the car. He asks me if I have anything illegal on me or in the car that he might find. I reply I don't (BECAUSE I DON'T!) He begins to search me and finds in my pocket some irish cream flavored cigars that I smoke sometimes. He asks me what they are, and I reply flavored cigars I smoke sometimes after work, and that it is probably what he smells. Another officer during this is on the curb just standing there, not taking notes, not doing shit while this one is being an asshole. He then grabs me and pulls me over to the curb and forcibly seats me on the curb. He then goes over to the passanger side of the car, grabs my gf by the hair and pulls her out of the car and proceeds to search and grope her, he then does the same to her and puts her on the curb beside me. He ravages through my car tearing everything up trying to find something that isn't there, and leaves us on the curb shivering for about 15 minutes while the other doush just stands there looking bored, like oh boy, here he goes again. After about a half hour of this whole ordeal and him not finding anything he finally says we can get in the car and leave, but not before issuing me a "warning" about using my signal. All this because cops are overzealous and want to turn anything, even if it's nothing into an episode of "COPS"! I know there are some good ones out there, I happen to know some of them, but for the most part they just like to harrass people and I hate it and I hate them.
