Occasionally?? Everyday for the past 3 months??

I don't look at it everyday. lol However, I was over at Elm Fork today, and noticed leaving there that I needed to get my car inspected this month.

in every situation were i have been pulled over since i got my CHL over 3 years ago, Presenting the CHL has completely changed the demeaner(sp?) on the situation.

My vehicle and I fit well into the criteria to be pulled over for the smallest of suspion and reason. Its almost a common routine. But the CHL has made the mood of the situation go from possible bad guy to wow, this is a good guy???

Its kinda funny to watch the change.

Don't feel bad. I forget which way to turn the EZ tag when using the toll road. I recently received a nice little letter from the Harris Co. Toll Road Authority. It even had a nice shot of my rear (bumper).

I have actually done that too. Cept it was my wife that noticed so I get the repeat razzing for it every year when the inspection comes due. Sounds like you got lucky.

Must've been the complete copy of the penal code laying on the dashboard obstructing your vision.

Was it the cool charm or the fact that you were thumbing through the Texas Penal Code book when she walked up to the window ?
You didn't have to show any skin?.......Just kiddin' TXi. Glad to hear it panned out okee dokee!

Now that's funny stuff.

Glad it was free for you TXi.

It's just the "blue brotherhood" (to quote another satirical post on this forum) looking out for "thier own."



JK....glad it worked out for ya. Way to not play the LEO/former LEO card.

Seriously? Everyone? I have never been stopped there. Of course, I don't break traffic laws either. (OK, OK, Occasionally I can't read my inspection sticker)

And, Just how do we know this

Point to KD5NRH.

'Course, TXI left something off which, I think, is the real reason he convinced the officer it was an honest mistake and that she let him go with a "please take care of it":

"Are you armed, sir."
"Yes, I am. Center console."
"Is it loaded?"
"Yes; .42 ACP hollow points..."

Because I have been driving by there for many years and I actually watch what is going on around me while on the road

I'm sitting back here, knowing there is absolutely nothing I can annoying-ly add to this discussion but:



"Txi", you should have taken the BLUE pill...

Now y'all leave "Txi" alone now...He was honest enough to come in here and tell us of this encounter, knowing he was going to hear about it from us from here to Christmas...

At least he wasn't dissarmed, or a vehicle search wasn't requested...

I think this was a positive encounter...

Sorry...Couldn't resist...

But then again on my next traffic stop, I am sure to get the Nth degree...

And deservedly so...

Do you maybe mean Spring Creek? I can't recall a Spring Valley exit being in Plano, but there is one in Richardson, maybe more dyslexia creeping into the forum?
