[11BEE]

I was driving through a school zone this morning and noticed an officer in the median. As I passed, he u-turned and pulled in behind me and followed me for about 1/2 mile. I was in traffic and not speeding. I was not texting or using my phone, so the only thing I could think was the fact I don't have a front plate.

I pull off the road and he comes up and asks me why I was not wearing my seat belt properly. I assured him I was wearing it and it was on the right way. He reached in and moved the shoulder strap under my arm pit and he told me I was wearing it that way. He wanted to know how I adjusted it right while he was following me. I explained that he must have not seen it correctly. Black belt on dark blue shirt through window tint might have been deceiving.

He asked for my license and insurance. I gave them to him along with my concealed handgun license. He then said "You must be an upstanding citizen to have one of these. Thanks for helping us keep everyone safe. I am not going to give you a ticket." By the way, no mention of the missing front plate.

All in all, I think it was a great encounter with the law. First time I have been pulled over in 12 years. All I can think is he was bored or wanted to use pulling over a Camaro as a warning to everyone else.

Thanks to all of you police officers for helping us stay safe!
