[QUOTE="elcaBob, post: 1833374, member: 3143"] Technically, no, I didn't have issue with his attitude. He can be as nasty as he feels like, I suppose. It just seems to me that when an officer finally does pull some truly bad guy over, he's more likely to get cooperation if he's not so busy trying to intimidate people. I can assure you, if I gave him back the attitude he gave me, I'd still be trying to get my one phone call. And, to the poster that said I was driving around since March with an expired tag, I didn't drive the car until very recently as there were repairs that needed to be made after I purchased it. At my very FIRST opportunity (meaning first available appointment), I went directly to the tag office. The car was registered within an hour of my being pulled over. It would have been simple for the officer to confirm the appointment with the tribal tag agency as I had their contact information right there. I'm NOT complaining that I got a ticket. I'm complaining that I got two that seem to be for the same offense. If you want to get someone for failure to pay the state, go back to the person that owned it when the violation took place. I had the title with their name right on it. Why should I pay for someone else's crime? And, to answer the question, the Potawatomi's stopped requiring the appointment OR the in person visit as of July 1... d'oh! Had I known they were going to do that, I'd have never driven that car, I can assure you! And, to straighten one thing up, I'm no cop basher. I've been treated very well by OHP or any other agency I've ever dealt with before. [/QUOTE]
