Cop Pulls A Lady Over For Very Questionable Reasons. This Was Anything But A Routine Traffic Stop!

I think I speak for most of us folks who live away from the tropics when I say that driving in the winter is horribly frustrating.

Uncomfortably cold temperature, poor visibility, and awful road conditions. So what else can go wrong? Well, maybe you’re driving along and a police cruiser comes out of nowhere and tells you to pull over. It’s just the worst feeling, especially when you are absolutely sure that you didn’t do anything wrong and you get the feeling that you’re going to get a ticket for something that is dubious at best.

Ugh… when you hear that siren and you see those flashing lights, you know your day is completely ruined.

One snowy day, an officer from the Lowell Police Department performed what seemed like a routine traffic stop.

This woman’s traffic violation? Her windows were too tinted. Seriously!? Yeah, seriously. The officer recorded the entire stop using a video camera and you’ll be glad that he did. 

Nobody likes getting traffic tickets, especially for something as subjective as their windows being too tinted. As a matter of fact, a few years ago I received a ticket violation for tinted windows. Not only did I have to pay the fine, I had to have the tinting removed and reapplied at a lower strength. The costs, as you might imagine, added up very quickly. It was also a huge hassle, eating up days of my time. So yes, I guess you could say that I totally empathize with this poor lady.

On the plus side, the officer who had stopped her was really nice about the situation. While he was going through the usual procedures, he chatted quite merrily with the woman about her Christmas plans. During their exchange, they actually learned quite a bit about each other’s families!

But alas, all was not as it seemed. As it turns out, the officer had an ulterior motive. What was he up to!?
