At this point I realized that I had two options: first, I could pull over like a good citizen and inquire what the problem was—after all, I wasn’t sure what it was that the police officer wanted. My other option was to go crazy and to take off posthaste, beginning a high speed pursuit. While such an adventure sounded really neat, I didn’t really want to be in a highway chase; too dangerous! Anyway, my parents were pretty rich, so if I needed to go to court and fight any unjust ticketing, I could afford to do so.

So I pulled over to the side of the road. The police officer came up to the window and said, “Son, do you know what I’m stopping you for?”

I was a bit annoyed, since I was likely going to miss the beginning of the 3:30 matinee of “The Mask” thanks to this incident. So I got a little cheeky. I said, “Perhaps because I’m a black youth wearing a low-hanging hat brim that is causing you to racially profile, sir? I’m not telepathic! Perhaps you should either arrest me or tell me why you pulled me over! Or should I continue guessing? Huh?”

The officer gave me a look that said he wasn’t happy with my response. “You were going 55 miles per hour in a 54 mile per hour zone,” he said. (Nevermind that all speed limits end in a five or a zero!) “License and registration, please, young man. And step out of the car. Are you carrying any concealed weapons on your person at this time? I know a lot of you youths think that’s cool to do.” He pushed his reflective aviator glasses further up his nose.

“With all due respect, officer,” I replied, “I am not compelled by law to leave my car for something as simple as a speeding ticket. I believe my papers are in order, so I won’t be getting out.”

I could see the ire in him rising. His lip trembled at my insolence. “Well, do you mind if I look around the car a little bit?” he asked, clearly insisting rather than inquiring.

I was not to be toyed with, however. “I’m sorry officer,” I replied curtly. “But my glove compartment is locked up, as is my trunk in the back. I’m aware of my rights as a motorist, and I believe you need a warrant to perform any such search of my vehicle!”

“Well, you’re just sharp as a tack,” he replied, continuing to scribble on his pad. “What are you, a lawyer or something? Someone important?”

I laughed. “Certainly I haven’t passed the BAR exam quite yet,” I said. “I’m only in high school! My father is a lawyer, however, and he made sure that I know a little bit about my rights so that nobody will illegally search through my belongings in a situation such as this.”

The officer was clearly very angry now. “You’re a clever kid,” he said. “But we’ll see how smart you are when I have my K-9 unit here to sniff around a bit. I sense that you’re up to something. I'll be seeing you again sometime.” With that, he put away the pad and went back to his car. I didn’t even end up getting a ticket!

It just goes to show that you should know your vehicular laws top to bottom to avoid illegal search by the police.

It seriously took me until the BAR exam part to realize what that was.

Nice play, sir. Nice play.

But would you pull someone over if they weren't breaking the law?

Honestly, I would never intentionally disrespect a cop, but if I get pulled over for doing nothing, I will be a bit crabby to say the least.

I have a feeling that there is a reference to something here, and that this reference is soaring far, far over my head.

I figured this out halfway through the 2nd paragraph when i saw the Jay-Z pic. Not bad though.

you have to consent to a search, otherwise they have the right to make you wait until they get a warrent.

And did some idiot above me throw out the phrase "I love smart black people"??!??!?!??!?!? WTF is that??
