Passing adjacent to a drunk sweep, one of the officers decided I looked like I was trying to evade it (it was my exit) and followed me down the frontage road. He finally lit me up for license plate light out. When he first came up to the car he stuck his head so far inside I thought he was trying to kiss me or something, found out from another Plano cop some time later that he was just being a little over enthusiastic in trying to sniff my breath. Asked me what I was doing out at 2am (working and heading home) and then took my license and headed back to his car.

When he came back he asked me if I was packing, and my first thought was to wonder how he knew I was going out of town the next day. Then I wondered if he meant Copenhagen, which I hadn't packed in years. Then he asked if I was strapped up, and finally, in exasperation, was I armed. I told him I was not, that I did not have my CHL yet. He told me that according to their records I did, and that I was required to produce it, etc. I pointed out that I had no way to produce something I didn't have, without arguing the point that since I was not carrying I was not required to produce it. He gave me a warning for the license plate light and I left. My plastic arrived in the mail the next day.
