Yeah I'm an old fart, I turned 62 and was on the way to sign up for my SS when I noticed a MI state police cruiser go by, hit the brakes and a fast turn (yes I watch my mirrors) and head my way....
When he got behind me he hit the lights...
I had the cruse on my digital cluster set a 1 mph under the limit, had our seat belts on, this is a new car so no issues there.
So I immediately pulled over, hit the 4 ways, shut off the car, and as he approached I rolled down the windows and I greeted him with a "good morning officer"....
He asked for license, reg, proof of...
I undid my belt so I could roll right to get my wallet, handed him my DL and notified him of my CC, showed him my permit, he asked if I was carrying and I indicated yes He then thanked me for my disclosing, so it was a positive in that respect, he was polite.
then I asked why were we pulled over?
Ready for this.... my Dealer installed MI legal tint was too dark, (the back has privacy tint but not the front) and he said he thought it was a stupid law, as we removed the book from the glove box to get the reg n proof of he said never mind, asked if the car was registered to us, did a quick plate n DL run and was back in less than a minute and we were on our way....
Yes this was a fishing expedition, I would bet on it, it's the end of the month and they are a hunting so if stopped remember to disclose when armed ASAP and be safe...
