Sneaky little Cop #1 was hiding in the corner and radioing to Cop#2,3,4,and 5 about who was talking on their phone or texting while driving. Well, obviously, I am never in my car and not on the phone, so Cop#1 saw me. I got pulled over along with a long line of other cars who had been caught to be issued a ticket.
Here's how it went:
Officer: "Miss, I pulled you over because we have another officer around the corner and he noticed you talking on your phone. May I please have your license and registration?"
HZ: (Hand guy my stuff)
Officer: "Is this still your recent address?"
HZ: "Well, no actually I don't have a permanent residence. If you want I can give you my office address?"
Officer: (chuckles) "That's ok"
(Walks away and writes up my ticket)
HZ: (Have to use a lot of self control not to text Jillian during this wait and tell her why I had to suddenly hang up. But I decide officer wouldn't appreciate it if he sees me doing this)
Officer: (Returns to the car) "Here is your stuff and your ticket. You have until 8/13 to either pay the $100 fine or plead not guilty and be given a court date"
HZ: "Ok, thank you. I know I'm guilty"
Officer: (Nods and begins to walk away)
HZ: "Wait! Sir! Can I ask you a question? I'm wondering... if I don't have a permanent address and don't plan on having one in the near future, where should I register my car to?"
Officer: (chuckles again) "Well, you could to a PO Box"
HZ: "Really? Are you sure? Because most things won't allow a PO Box in lieu of a permanent address... Insurance, Credit Cards, etc."
Officer: "I think so, just go to the DMV and they should take care of it"
HZ: "Ok thanks!"
(Drive away, highly doubting that he has any idea what he's talking about).
(Promptly get back on my phone.. but put it on speaker this time)
