snack's Journal: Blatant Abuse of Power

Gah... not many things irritate me to this level which I am currently at. Here's the story (gather around):
I was driving from my house to school. I left with about 10 minutes before class (it takes like 6 minutes to get to the school, so I had enough time). I stopped by the 7-11 to pick up a drink. As i'm exiting the parking lot onto the Parkway, this truck is barrling down the street straight to a stoplight. I feel that i have more than adequate time to get infront of this truck, and over into a lane that he is not in (the far left lane). I preform this manuver, and nothing (that I felt) happend wrong. He didnt slam on his brakes (on account of me, but the stop light is another story), he didnt have to swerve, he didnt even honk. Just normal driving in my opinion. There was a Police Cruiser in another lane of the intersection, and he felt that I had done some injustice to the citizens of Frisco, Tx. So, he pulled me over. When I saw the lights behind me, I got over into the right lane. Lights continued to move behind me so I put on my hazard lights and make a right turn onto another street. I was going to proceed to the Church parking lot on that street, but the cop honked his horn so I just stopped in the middle of the street (I really prefer to get off of the street in a "tim gets pulled over" situation). He walks up to my car with his partner, and asks for my liscense and insurance. He then takes a very close look at my registration and emissions stickers. I think he was looking for a reason to write a ticket. He then tells me that i didnt yield 'right of way' to the truck. So I tell him that i felt i had enough time to move out of the way of this truck, and he didnt slam on his brakes or honk or anything. The cop looked at me kind of irritated and went back to his cruiser to check my liscense and vehicle tags (to further make sure I'm not wanted). This whole ordeal is wasting a LOT of my time. So, he comes back to my car and hands me my liscense (he seemed unhappy that there werent any warrants out for me or a reason to write me a ticket). He tells me to "drive safe" and walks back to his car. A complete waste of time. *GAH* So I get to school 15 mins late. And skip my class.

That's about it for now... I might update later.
