I made an official e-mail inquiry/complaint to the glendale heights police department regading the cop following me for 8-10 minutes. I have no criminal records and don't think this is fair to follow citizens like this.

So I had just gotten out of the car wash at the gas station near my apartment and got into the left turning lane on schmale when I remembered I needed to be going right on shcmale to make it to the atm and then for some chinese.

I stayed in my lane and while waiting for the light to change I noticed a sherrif cop car behind me. I didn't care too much. I don't have anything to hide.

Well I made my turn and since I'm going the wrong direction, I look a place to turn around. I get into the left turning lane at the next stop light and guess who decided to follow me... I was doing perfect legal driving..

The arrow turns green and I make the turn. I laugh my ass off because what I did next. Almost immediately after the turn there is another left turning lane into a bank parking lot and I make a U-turn so that I can turn around and go the opposite way on Schamale. I'm waiting at the traffic light now to turn right when I see that cop car make a quick U-turn after me. He must have thought I was avoiding him. I imagined the lights going off.. but they didn't. I looked very carefully for a no-turn on red sign and didn't see any. I went ahead and went, and guess who followed?

I'm thinking... well its going to be anytime now... that the lights will go off and I'm practicing my speech to the office asking him what I did that was "illegal" since I knew I didn't disobey any traffic laws.

He ended up turning off at another parking lot.

Nah nah nah!!! Didn't find anything illegal on my computer record did we? From the amount of time he followed me, his computer download must be incredibley slow!!

That's another reason of why I dislike cops. There is no checks and balances on them either. They can plant drugs on you or in your house and how can you legally defend yourself against a judge against that?
