Well Greg,
Its not like I'm saying everyone gets pulled over everyday...Nor would I encourage confrontation at anytime in the process...Its a quick way to blowing something routine out of proportion...Its not necessary...
I'd much rather have someone be encouraged to tell us their story, let everyone hash it out, learn from it, and move on...How we all relate to experiences like this does make a difference on how we conduct ourselves in public and with Law Enforcement...
I think its a positive...
Ask me how many times I've been snagged coming off of I-45 north and the 19 split and haven't come off the speed???
Thats up your way...

Man...
I come in here smelling smoke...
And son of a gun there's a fire!!!
"txi"
I think he could have beat it in court...The citing officer was already through a yellow cycle at that intersection, and somebody behind him proceeds cautiously through it behind him...
There is no reasonable way to determine if the signalling device cycled to the red condition from his vantage point...
But...Playing devils advocate...
I certainly wouldn't argue or give anything other than yessirs and no sirs at anypoint in an encounter...Its just my nature...Regardless if I feel I've been stopped for any reason, even to have my thumbs put in a vice...
Nobody likes getting zapped these days...Its how you react that either gets you a warning, or a citation...Thats how I look at it...
My CHL (and soon to be arriving CFP) is not considered a get out of a ticket, or free bowl of soup card...Never has, and never will be...
