Got pulled over on my scooter because some chick reported me reckless riding
 
A cop pulled me over and claimed that some chick reported me riding recklessly on my scooter. Started to give me the riot act and all that crap. I asked him how the hell am I suppose to ride aggressively on a 50-cc scooter? And that I took the effort to wear a helmet, riding jacket, gloves, pants & boots so that I can go play pinball with the cars?

Then he started to rant about how some woman called in and specifically described my clothings, scooter and all that jazz. I told him then to give me a ticket and I'll see both him and my accuser in court. The cop then started talking about how he's going to keep an eye out for me and all this shit. I kept telling him to write me a ticket if he felt that strongly about this woman's report and I'll see them both in court and let the judge decides.

After about half an hour of back and forth, he let me go...not even with a warning ticket.

I feel strangely cheated.

I'm surprised they bothered tho, honestly, without an eyewitness right there, they cant prove anything.

WTF is the riot act and what does it have to do with speeding?

Kinda what I'm thinking.
If all it took was a phone call to get some bonehead pulled over, I'd have police non-emergency on speed dial. :lol:

Well...were you riding reckless? :whistle:

:lol: Riot act is just a way of saying the cop went off on him and was hollering, etc.

Ex. I was late for curfew and Mom read me the Riot Act.

"Getting read the riot act" means to be yelled at.

Pretty interesting page on Wiki. I never knew the history behind the phrase. :idk:

Quote:

Because the authorities were required to read the proclamation that referred to the Riot Act before they could enforce it, the expression "to read the Riot Act" entered into common language as a phrase meaning "to reprimand severely", with the added sense of a stern warning. The phrase remains in everyday use in English.
