I thought he was on his way to a big emergency. He pulled me over. I really didn't know what I was being pulled over for. Anyways, after he told me and I reviewed the intersection, I realized. Now, being a police dispatcher, I figured that he would only give me a warning because I am from out of town and I mentioned that I was a police dispatcher back home. He gave me a ticket. NY tickets don't list the fine, you have to mail them in and they mail you the fine. Anyways, I wrote Guilty with Explanation, wrote a letter about being confused with the area, having a good driving record, etc, etc. I got the results in the mail today. I was...grrrrrr. $75 fine and $55 surcharge. I was like WTF. The cops from my work all think 1) The cop was a jerk for giving me a ticket for that and 2) That the letter I wrote should have gotten my ticket dismissed. UGH. I am going to call Monday and see if I can appeal the decision. UGH...MY VENT!!!
