How come it is whenever I’m driving through a small backwards ass town I get stopped by the cops? I decided to go on a Sunday drive at around twilight. I had turned onto Valley View because I had never been on that road before going through Farmers Branch, a small deteriorating poor degraded nothing hole north of Dallas who’s best known for harrassing mexicans taking a stand on illegal immigration.
So I’m driving through Farmers Branch being sure to abide by the speed limits because I did have a couple of drinks a few hours earlier. I did see a cop SUV going the opposite direction. It made a U-turn and the next thing I know I’m being lit up. So I’m thinking WTF. I wasn’t speeding. Did I have a busted headlight? I pulled over. An obviously bored Farmers Branch police officer with a God complex and apparently pissed because the last donut shop in Farmers Branch just closed comes to inform me that the registered, insured vehicle, that he would never be able to afford on his cop salary, lacked a license plate in the front. Now I had heard rumor that Texas required vehicles to have license plates on the front and rear of the vehicle, but I wasn’t exactly certain. I have seen cars with and without the plates in the front. In addition I have been driving in the glorious state of Texas for 8 years without every being pulled over for no plates in the front. There isn’t even a place in the front of my car for putting a license plate. But today, because I’m driving though this piece-of-shit town for a few minutes and this cop has nothing better to do he pulls me over.
Dude takes my license and goes to his vehicle, apparently to run a check on me to make sure I didn’t have any warrants or stolen my car or butt raped his sister wife. When he didn’t find anything on me he let me go with a warning. I pretty much took his warning to mean “don’t drive through my loser town again with a nice car, nigger.” So I’ll take his warning into consideration and will never drive through, patronize, advocate, or otherwise acknowledge his moronic substandard suburb again.
BTW, on Valley View there is no valley and no view, just unamused Farmers Branch police officers looking to give someone a hard time. If you don’t want any trouble, make sure your travelling through with a fresh box of Krispy Kreme.
