I was doing mental calculations of how much this was going to cost me. The seatbelt alone is $65. Going 15 miles over the speed limit- steep fine and points. No license/registration- $180, IIRC.

Next time I'll buckle up and have my wallet.

We have a small police force here. This was the same officer who responded a couple yrs ago when I thought my ex had drank himself to death and I needed help getting in his apartment. Since this was my 3rd encounter with him, I think he recognized me.
