heading down 981 leaving Latrobe, i saw a cop and i was in the process of lighting a smoke. state trooper pulls out and follows me to the intersection, we both make a left turn and he flips on the party lights.
i pull over at the next right, park the car, turn it off and put the keys on the dash. trooper walks up to my driver door and asks for license and registration, i hand them to him, and he tells me i was pulled over for the tint and my plate light was out (damnit...time to make a new one). So another trooper was already sitting there and he gets out and comes over and asks if there's anything they should worry about in the car. I said no and he goes back to the other trooper and i can hear them talking. They had asked where i was coming from and then i heard them saying "he couldnt have been driving more than 15 miles"...about 2 minutes later, the officer asks me to step out of the car to show me the plate light being out. so we're standing at the back of my car and he says "what kind of car is this? it looks like a neon, but i wrote down nitehawk" (for those who remember, i have the nitehawk lettering on the trunk). i chuckle a little bit and say its a neon, with custom lettering. well then the officer asks why i lit a smoke and goes into telling me how normally people will light a smoke to hide the smell of weed in the car... ok, no big deal, i understand...
then he asks if he can search my car, so i say go right ahead, i've got nothing to hide. so while he's searching the car, the other trooper asks me about the lettering, and the dodge badge on the trunk, yada yada yada...
couple minutes later, the trooper comes back from searching and hands me a warning...sure enough...the warning says "04 DODGE NITEHAWK"....
good thing he didnt write me an actual ticket...i could have faught it and won immediatly... mis-information gets them every time
