I think I’ve been stopped by the police about eight times for the “failure to use turn signal” excuse. Most were because I was driving either very late at night or taking an unusual (but very short) route to my house involving back streets and many turns.
Pisses me off every time because I know they did it totally as an excuse to see if I was under the influence or up to something.
Somebody mentioned something about and “illegal police search” earlier. Given all their lame excuses to pull people over or get in their faces is that even a real thing anymore?
