Truxman-
Why are YOU pissed off?
Do you think he really has fun pulling you over for petty items? I don't. Like PA 3L said, it was a drunk check. Deal with it.
I work with troopers day in and day out and they are protecting people like you and I (generally law abiding) from as#$^&* drunks that dont pay for insurance and drive on public roads possibly crashing into us.
And another thing, does ten minutes of your time seem long? well, maybe you should consider that the technology some cops (troopers for sure) use is well over 30 years old and not exactly the quickest there is.
If you broke the law, why shouldn't he have pulled you over, or given you a ticket? Because you were in a bad mood, tired, etc?
Do you think he cares?
He was just doing his job. As you were yours earlier that night. Think of the irony, you described how "pissed you were" because you hated being yelled at by angry customers for 10 hours. Well how is his job any better, he goes through the same things!!
Be thankful he didn't write you up, most of the troopers I know wouldn't have thought twice about it. You are lucky, should be thankful, end of story. See ya at the next meet.
