This morning I got a ticket, well ok I got two tickets. One from Hallowell PD for speeding (45 in a 30). Yeah I was speeding, that is not my question.
Before having been pulled over by HPD, I was in Augusta and passed a red Toyota Tundra that was at a red light. I ran the light. I look back and have a chrome girll on my ass. I went down by Buker shcool, blew that light too. The guy was still on my ass. I decided to give him a run for his money. I did stop at the light by the State House. I took off and the guy was still with me at this point. Next I went through the next yield sign legally and noticed that the guy in the Toyota was either recording our chase or was snapping photos. Either way he pulled down towards the Augusta police station. HE WAS AN OFF DUTY APD OFFICER.
This is where it gets better. HPD has me lit up at Bolley's....He's writing my ticket and then comes a APD car with a uniformed officer with a ticket in his hand. The second officer was not the guy in the Toyota. He asked me if I knew what he was giving me a ticket for. I did, but played dumb. He told me that I blew a light and was driving fast, according to an off duty officer.
Now my question is....How the heck does that work???? Does that mean that you can get a ticket if anyone goes to the police station and says you did something wrong?
In my point of view this is BS. Off duty means off duty. I will fight the APD ticket!!! I'll pay the HPD since he got me on radar.
