Yesterday, I attended a reading conference at a local college. It was great fun, let me tell you!
One strange moment of the day occurred when a fellow teacher and I took a quick break and ran to a gas station across the street so she could grab a soda.
We had gotten back into my car, and I had put the car into reverse. Then, I noticed a local cop car coming my way, so I waited. I couldn’t back out until he passed by, but he stopped…behind my car.
Great.
I wondered what I’d done wrong.
Actually, I knew.
Nothing.
The only thing I was doing was sitting there with my friend, waiting for him to move along.
Well, my friend and I made small talk, and the copy STAYED there. I saw him looking down at something, and then he finally drove away.
I turned to my friend and said, “I think he just ran my tag.”
I found out, through someone I know, that yes, he had run my tag.
Why?
Well, that remains to be seen. I hope to find out this week.
But seriously, why on earth would he have run my tag? All of the lights on my car were working properly. I had not even backed out of my parking spot yet.
I was dressed well, as was my friend.
We weren’t even in a bad area of town.
I’m ticked off, to say the least. I feel like I was subjected to an invasion of privacy because there was absolutely no reason for that guy to run my tag.
Nothing.
Nada.
Grrr…
