 Tue Feb 23, 16 8:39 am Portland Cop on the way home from the airport. |

Please understand I am a big law enforcement supporter. Still...
Just got back from a great trip to Baja. Left Employee parking and pulled up next to a cop waiting to turn left on to airport way. Decided to go slow enough so that I could turn in behind said vehicle after the turn was complete. Cop went even slower. I sped up, he sped up, staying right behind me and to my right. (I had my right blinker on.) No matter what speed I went, he stayed right there, blocking my lane change. Couldn't take the I205N exit. This went on for several blocks and through several traffic lights. Stopped at a red light, he just kept blocking my lane change. Had to pass up several exits. Finally, I had to leave a light at less than 5mph for several hundred yards before he stopped harassing me and finally sped off.
WTF??? |

I'm sure he was a windsurfer and saw your nwKite sticker !
These nwKite stickers on our auto's can be big problems |

Thanks Nak!
Really made me smile. After reading about all the latest cop problems in baja I got a kick out of your post.
Sorry you missed your exit. Butt...
If you got pulled over were you going to give him your fake mexican drivers license? I think 100 pesos might have gotten you out of a ticket. Hope he didn't take your license plate. Perhaps you could pretend you only speak spanish and see if he just gives up on you.
Just goes to show there are always a few bad apples wherever you go.

Starbucks must of been out of donuts that day and so he felt he needed to take it out on someone. Everyone has a bad day now-and-then. The key to being a good person is to take it and not pass it on to others. That said, being a policeman isn't an easy job, but I'm thankful that some step-up to the task. |
