Cinco De Mayo a few years ago. Driving down Lake Av at 2:30 am. Stopping at signs and going 20 mph. A car pulled in behind me and followed me to West Esplanade. Under the lights I saw it was a cop. I made a left, traveled a block, and pulled into my townhouse complex. He lights me up. He takes forever until another cop shows up. Said I ran the stop sign a 1/2 mile back on Lake. I said no. He wrote me up for doing 45 mph in a 35. The limit is 20 mph and the stop signs are so prevalent, you would need to be in a dragster to do 45 mph. Kid wrote me up also for bad address as I had moved from Lakeview to Metry post-Katrina. I think they believed I was a druggie looking for drugs at that hour, but too afraid to admit it. I pled down all but one charge and paid court costs.

Failure to yield at a stop sign...after I came to a complete stop. Cop initially wrote me a failure to stop ticket, then proceeded to scratch that out and wrote failure to yield. Gotta love small town cops
