Recently I was pulled over by a Marco cop for "not coming to a complete stop" at a 3 way Stop sign. This was absolutely not true. Not only had I come to a complete stop, but I had allowed the adjacent car to proceed by waving him to go ahead. The driver of that car then gave me a "thank you" wave as he drove through the intersection. Afterwards, after having been completely stopped for 7 – 10 seconds did I proceed to go through the intersection.
When the cop pulled me over and I told him how the above events had actually occurred, I could see by the expression in his face that he knew he had been caught in a lie. After checking my license and registration he then let me go... Without a ticket of course.
Afterwards I couldn’t help but wonder if this was the action of a single corrupt cop or if it was actually part of a larger scheme encouraged by Marco police leadership.
