I was headed to an account this afternoon to troubleshoot an adhesive issue a customer was having. I was talking on the phone that was connected to the bluetooh HF system in my car. I was headed south on SR 19 and just four miles north of Wakarusa when I met a crusier headed nothbound. He lit up his light and I looked down to notice I was doing over 60 mph.
I pulled way off the road on the shoulder. Got my Drivers License, LTCH and registration out and had my hands on the stering wheel at 2:00 & 10:00. He identified himself and asked if I knew why he pulled me over. I told him that I did not know why. He said that I was speeding. I handed him my credentials ad informed him that I had a firearm in the vehicle. He asked where the firearm was at. I told him it was holsterd on my right hip.
He took my credentials ad went back to his cruiser. Five minutes later he returned to my car where my hands remained at 2:00 & 10:00 on the stering wheel. He said "First of all I want to thank you for letting me know about the firearmin your vehicle, but I am issuing you a sitation for speeding" He said he clocked me at 67 in a 55, I didn't think I was that much over but I guess I was. I asked for a warning instead of the ticket and was informed that they don't write any warnings. He said that they were given grant money by the state for "Operation Safety" He said they are writing tickets for for any violation including seatbelts.
He handled the firearm possession by me very professional as the way it should be. +1 for the way the officer handled the firearm but the ticket sucked. My own fault but still sux.
SR 19 between Elkhart and Nappanee is being worked pretty hard right now and they are nit picking for fines. One of the employees at my customer told me that he received a ticket for a burnt out license plate light.
