Educating a Local State Trooper
So yesterday, during late afternoon, I was pulled over by one of Iowa's State Troopers...for my left tire touching the middle line on a highway. When he pulled me over, he told me why and asked me if I knew why that was. I explained that I had been changing my radio station. He asked to see my registration...the only problem was that I was in my mom's car and when I went to open the glovebox the handle was broken off! He and I spent a couple minutes trying to open it and then I tried calling my mom. When I unlocked my iPhone...my internet popped up to DPF's page lol. My mom didn't answer and then the trooper started asking me if I was sure I wasn't on my phone. I said that I wasn't and he countered that a text message screen had popped up when I went to call my mom.
I looked up at him and said that it was actually a forum for trading Disney pins...lol he just gave me a look and said, "Oh." I had an AIW Beloved Tale sitting on my passenger seat that I had gotten out of my mailbox before I left and he saw it. He asked to see it and I said sure. Then he asked to look at DPF on my phone so I gave it to him. He asked when I was last on DPF and I told him it was before I left the house because I was leaving feedback for another member. From there we launched into an almost 20 minute conversation about how I started collecting and how I became part of DPF and my pin collection in general! It was actually quite enjoyable haha he was so nice even though he did give me a warning for being to close to the middle line!
