Last "pretext" stop had me scratching my head. Coming home from work in a car, turned right at yield sign (everyone else has a stop sign), immediately moved into left lane to make a left turn onto side street, using turn signal, and definitely not speeding. Cop lights me up because he says I made my left turn too quickly, essentially "crossing all 4 lanes" to make the turn. Plus, I had a "dirty" plate - comes from living up a 1/4 mile iron ore driveway, but it isn't so dirty that it can't be read. No sense arguing, but no sense rolling over, either. Pointed out one can't turn onto the side street without "crossing all 4 lanes", especially as the street is so close to the main intersection. He asks where I'm coming from and where I'm heading. "Work & home, but first to grocery store." Grocery is at the end of the street I turned onto. Starting to think you can't get there from here, LOL! Next I get asked if I am "carrying". Nope, if I was my license would ID that fact and I would've told him as required by law. Now he wants to know whose car - it's mine as he well knows because he has my license, has seen the registration sticker on the windshield, and has run everything on his computer. Next, it's where is your bike? At home because of having to go to the grocery store! Finally, it gets to this - "Is that motorcycle club you're in associated with the (insert name of prominent Texas club)?
So, why was I stopped? I think I might have a very vague idea.
Maybe if'n I would've been wearing a leg purse when he (obviously) saw me riding he wouldn't have even lit me up.
Yeah, that's it...
Or not!

I saw an older guy (probably in his 60s) wearing one at a poker run I did last weekend. It didn't look comfortable, stylish, or at all practical. And, I kind of cracked a smile when I saw it strapped to his leg. Others may think these things are great, so more power to them, but not for me.

I've seen guys wearing those, I thought it was their wife's purse and they were just getting to carry their own ***** around for a change.
