Default Hills. Co. Cops...

i never posted this on this site but here's how one saturday went when i was coming back from the leesburg bikefest around 2pm near the end of april:

Driving south on I-275 just north of bearass, two unmarked cars headed northbound (opposite direction). They see me and pull a u-turn, i see them on my ass in my mirror, one pulls up next to me and turns on his lights and signals to pull over.

So far so good, i was going 3 under the speed limit, me and my girl both had jackets and helmets and gloves on... obeying every law. We pull over immediately, i take off my helmet and the officer says "license and registration" i figure its the usual bullcrap looking for someone with prior records or something.

So i naturally ask "Can i ask you why you pulled me over officer?" his response was "Because i'm a cop and i can"
...
...
...
I knew right then this was going to fucking suck. i remain respectful, when the officer comes back with my license and registration he tells me he can't read my tag in the position its in, and i explained to him that we were driving a long way so i let the air shock's pressure down to have a smoother ride and that is the factory mounting for the license plate and we must have bottomed out and slightly bent it...but it wasn't bad AT ALL, if i wanted it bent it would be bent. He then goes to say "I know how you sportbikers fold your tags up to run from us." ...Like i'm going to endanger my girls life? my life? all the other people on the roads lives when i didn't do anything wrong in the first place?!

So he explains my options and i yank the ticket out of his hand and he takes off. I reaaaally wish i would have asked him this while we were on the side of the road (but i didn't think of it till later), but how could he have seen my tag?? To see my tag that is 3.5x7" or so, going opposite directions on the interstate at a combined speed of about 140mph (70 in each direction). I'm taking him to court because the dumbass wrote "1:30am" instead of pm, and i'm trying to get a copy of his schedule to show he was off duty at 1:30am on that date. But that was my last experience with a cop, and i havent ridden out of my neighborhood since that day.

That kind of shit pisses me off...I feel like if a cop did that I'd go off on him, can you get a ticket for that? When a cop pulled me over on campus and said he was writing me a ticket for riding with a pair of headphones in I started laughing at him.

ouch that does suck. I would fight that every which way you can- and I'm sure it will get thrown out given the facts you've presented.
