I was just pulled over because a person called in a complaint that I passed in a no passing zone in front of a military base in the previous city. First off let me say that in front of the base is a passing zone which is where I passed the person who made the complaint. I theb made it into the next city where a very nice police officer pulled me over because the person who complained called the city where I was heading.
Now lets start off the officer was very nice but gave me very vague answers to my questions.
He said that he pulled me over to warn me and he could have given me a ticket on behalf of the person who complained but that the person did not want to press charges, and just wanted me to be stopped and warned. the officer said they work mainly based off complaints and that is why I wss pulled over.
I am a law abiding citizen and I have absolutly nothing on my record, traffic or otherwise.
And yet I was till made late for work, and had my time wasted because a random person called in a
complaint.
Is that legal to pull me over for not only something that never happend, there was no proof, the officer didnt see it, it offense occured in a different city and the person who complained did not even want to file a formal complaint.
I want to file a complaint, but I dont really want it agaimst the officer but the policiy that allowed him to pull me over,( or was it the officer who was wrong) I called the station in both cities and the state police but have gotten no answers about what allows then to do this
Take into account I am very ticked at the moment and this is probably just me ranting
