Re: COPS: the enemy

That is what I think I heard.  I told him I had another car with
insurance and he said, "You have to insure your car from the day you
take it on the road".  I belive he really just wanted to hassle me.  I
suspect that he lied to me as well.  I've been lied to by cops before. 
One morning on the way to work down my hill a cop pulled me over and
said I was doing 31mph in a 20mph zone.  The yellow speed limit signs
are suggested speeds only though.  The cop thought that I didn't know
this but I promptly stated that I did know this and I told him that the
speed limit was 25mph.  He said well I won't write you a ticket but slow
down a little.  I'm glad I payed attention in drivers ed :)
