Comin home from work last night, I went through a red light I didn't see cause of the sun. Traffic that was perpendicular to me was not moving, so I naturally assumed the light was green. I didn't speed up or anything, I went through thinking it was green.

I get up to the next light to turn onto the street I live off of and I hear, the quick chirp of a police siren, I look in my mirror to move out of the way but don't see anyone. I'm in line to turn and when I finally make my turn, I hear the siren again, I look in my passenger side mirror and there is a black Pontiac Grand Am behind me with red and blue lights (not flashing) on his flip down sun visor.

Thinking about the whole Steve Park deal up in MD, I decided not to stop. I have NEVER seen or heard anything about Grand Am unmarks. I continue to match my mirror and he points to the right as if tellin me to pull over. Ok, if this guy is that persistent we can play. So as I pull into the gas station, I reach into my bag and pull out my leather man and open up the knife on it.

When I pull in, I roll down my window and keep the knife on the right side of my right leg, out of sight if he comes up to the car but in a real easy place to grab it. He pulls up next to me and rolls down his window and says he saw me run that light. I reply, "Great and who the hell are you?" "I'm an FCPD."....great. So I asked if he had a badge which he then showed me. He told me to slow down and to pay attention to which I replied, I'm doin the speed limit and I didn't see the red light cause of the sun and I looked at the traffic perpendicular to me and it wasn't moving so I went through the light thinking it was green, I'm not trying to be an asshole. He replied he was an asshole, but he's not going to give me a ticket, not that he could anyways because we were in PWC. With that I politely told him we almost had problems when he stopped me cause I didn't think he was a cop, I thought he was another Steve Park guy or someone trying to jack my car.

Morale of the story, black Grand Am with the plastic hub caps in FCPD. Guy was more of a prick than anything.

 

I wouldnt say you were the nicest person in the world to him either.... but thanks for the info.

 

not that he could anyways because we were in PWC. what does PWC mean I think I understand what your saying that you could not recieve a ticket on private property?

 

Prince William County

 

I saw the same damn car on rt. 66 yesterday in rush hour. The black 1 with 2 circular lights in his passenger side visor.

 

yup thats the one

 

LMAO at your siggy!!!! been there done that!!

 

Seeing as how the officer had not identified himself at that present moment, I don't think he was required to be.

 

Well, I can't say much. I would have been a dickhead to him too, even if I knew he was a cop from the beginning, cant understand why i get all these tickets....

 

Ive seen him too. On I-66 going westbound.
he flipped his siren there to let a truck merge. I dunno, I've never seen the car otherwise.
