The light turned yellow, just in front of him.
He did the right thing and stopped at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman behind him was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer.
The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.
He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed and placed in a holding cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door.
She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, ''I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, giving the guy in front of you the finger and cursing at him.
I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' licence plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally ......
I assumed you had stolen the car

hahaha

Some states - yellow & red are the same thing!

I also got a ticket for talking on my phone - but I wasn’t- I was listening to a podcast with my phone in my hand. I had to pull up phone records to prove I wasn’t talking. I went to court & got it dismissed but had to make a $100 donation to a safe driving program.

for speeding up to make the light. The light was on eith the WV or Ohio side of the bridge spanning the Ohio River. Cop saw her speed up, stopped her and gave her a ticket, said you couldn't speed up to catch a light. That was years ago. I don't think they stop anyone for anything now.
