A few years ago I got a call from my mother at 2 something a.m. telling me my dad was being rushed to the hospital with a heart attack.
On my way there I was stopped for doing 41 in a 35 mph area. Now any other time of the day no cop will pull you over for 5 or 6 miles above the limit, but this was right after bar closing time and he was trolling for DUI's.
Between the time he was checking my plates, license, registration and waiting for another police car to arrive I spent 20 minutes. Then, after explaining the situation repeatedly, I was still being questioned about why I was nervous and agitated. As if my father possibly dying why they were delaying me getting to the hospital wasn't reason enough.
At one point I even asked them to call the hospital to verify what I was telling them. They finally let me go without a ticket after 45 minutes of playing around, which could have meant the difference between seeing my father alive one last time.
