re: Dumbest traffic ticket you've ever received?

Got thrown into jail for "reckless driving" when I was 20.

My Dad had just bought a special edition RX-7 and I was doing some spirited driving on some two lane roads headed back to the house. Yeah I was speeding but it wasn't stupid fast. Wasn't doing drugs and sober as a preacher. It was daytime and no traffic around, so I gunned it a bit.

Lights appear behind me and I pull onto a side street. Cop gets out and tells me to get out of the car and I comply. I ask the officer politely what is the issue. Then a man pulls in behind the cop and starts tearing into him verbally about him almost running the guy off the road trying to catch up to me.

Pissed off cop tells him to frick off, then decides to arrest me in his anger and off I go to jail. My Dad posts my bond and I get to pay $360 in court a couple of months later.

Goddamned POS cop. Yes, I made a mistake, yes I was speeding, but going to jail for that??? What an a-hole.
