I was pulled over today for an expired inspection sticker in FW. I was sitting at the stoplight and the officer turned left toward me. I saw him look at my sticker and knew I was busted. We went through the stoplight before he lit me up and I carefully pulled over into a parking lot (I was in the left-hand lane, but I still took the time to carefully change lanes as I have been told by a FWPD officer that they infinitely prefer you to pull over on the right). I had the ignition off and my two cards in hand when he walked up. He handed my CHL right back with no questions.
The officer was very professional and friendly, and was helpful in explaining how to get the ticket taken care of.
Overall, this was the best kind of stop one could hope for (other than none at all). The ridiculous irony is that I just fixed the problem that was keeping my truck from passing THIS MORNING and was planning to get it inspected this afternoon.
Only when the best will suffice.
