My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Georgia
Hey everyone,
So, I was on my way to a car park to go catch my bus this morning. My route takes me through a road that runs by a high school, so the the speed limit was around 25 mph at that point. I usually go 30, 35, or even 40 at around 9:00 am, when there's basically no traffic since all the students are inside campus by that point. As I'm going down the street, I see a car parked at the end of the road on the opposite lane. It's raining, so I can't make it out and I figure it might just be someone who had an engine problem or something. Thinking nothing of it, I keep going. Then, as I approach, I see it's a police car. The officer then proceeds to turn on his lights (no siren) just as I approach him (this is no less than a meter or so away from the physical car). I reckon I'm being asked to pull over, so I stop and wait for a moment. At this point, both our vehicles are blocking this two-lane road. He doesn't do anything after a while -- there's no siren, no signal for me to follow him, nor does he attempt to get behind me. We just sit there. I move up a bit to perhaps give him some room, but nothing. After a while, I approach a stop sign and then wait a little while longer. The police car doesn't move, but his lights (mind you, the police lights -- not the car headlights, though the headlights were off) are still shining. Taking a chance, I continue down the road and the officer makes no effort to pursue.
I honestly don't know what to make of this. I think perhaps this was just a cautionary warning, with the officer flashing his lights to let me know I was going a bit fast on a school road. If he really wanted to pull me over, he could've followed. Still, what troubles me the most is his placement. He was just sitting in the middle of the road. He wasn't tucked away somewhere else, like in a usual speed trap. This is a small road, mind you, so he'd be blocking traffic if he stayed there for any period of time. So, what do you all think it was? A warning or should I be expecting a ticket in the mail? I think it'd be feasible that the officer could turn his head and grab my plates as I passed him on my way to the stop sign. I know there's the saying that one shouldn't worry about something that's already said and done, but I do find the incident rather odd. Thoughts?
