Terrorized by Billy Bob “Police” in Manzanola

Being a young woman is difficult when traveling. Let’s take me driving back from Colorado this past weekend. I have lots of examples here.

I was driving through Manzanola, Colorado going back to South Carolina.  There is HWY 50 that is VERY rural and a few small towns dot this stretch. I was driving south a little to avoid the weather (snow and rain to the north).  I’m very aware of the Billy Bob cops catching speeders through these towns so I made a point to drive slower.

I pass Manzanola and I look in my rear view and I’m being chased by a guy with a Hilter mustache in a burgandy Ford Tauras (with a cracked windshield) and a blue light that looks like he purchased it at Spencer’s in the mall. Like I’m really going to stop for this joker! He has nothing else to indicate he’s the law. In fact, he pursues me down the road for 15 miles (or more) as I wouldn’t stop because I’m own a very rural road with hardly any passing cars!  He has no siren, no nothing. So I’m totally terrorized because I was paying attention to my speed and I know I wasn’t doing anything wrong (except driving down through this town)!

 I have heard about people faking to be cops to stop people and I started to feel like I was in a scene from the remake of Chainsaw Massacre with the crazy cop. I had to call 911 and report it. They ran a check on his tag and told me he was a Constable! Really?! Some of these fake cops are worse than actual criminals. They need very little (if any) training and they can run around with a gun stopping people.

I still wouldn’t stop and I drove to the next town (miles away) with him chasing me. I get to the police station at the next town and I go from being scared to being very angry. The worst part is that I can’t detox adrenaline well ( I had this tested-my liver enzymes were tested) so I basically become The Hulk when I’m scared or really angry.  Had I had a gun, it would of been in my lap ready to blast this fool. I was lightly armed however and VERY dangerous (unbenounced to this idiot).

He was so embarrased that he scared me (because I was standing outside my car as he pulled up and yelled at him, “You scared the shit out of me!” ) that he was going to just “give me a warning” and thought he was being nice by telling me there were plently of cops on the road (which he wasn’t actually one) so I should be careful..yeah I didn’t have any other problems the rest of the way (1400 miles of NO PROBLEMS). I asked him what I did. He was embarassed to tell me. “42 in a 35 coming into town” which means I wasn’t even IN town which was 35…which means he didn’t give me  chance to slow down. 

I should say not only did he not have a uniform, but I couldn’t even see a radar gun in his beat up car. He had some toy store looking badge on and these country western work boots. REALLY!???? You stopped me in this outfit?

Hey I know what really happened. Hot girl in a VW with out of state plates = opportunity to “hollar” at her and perhaps meet her. Let’s face it I didn’t see any truckers getting pulled over and I certainly don’t look like a criminial. He even asked me all these personal questions like “where I was going” and “what I was doing”…which is NONE of his business…but you could probably infere that perhaps I was DRIVING to SC for Christmas, STUPID.

He stilled asked me for my ID, probably so he could see if I was legal wedding age.

What a loser. One day he’s going to pull over someone and get blasted. This goes to all the guys who terrorize young women, one day your path will cross with someone like me and that will be the end of you.

This fake cop wasted time and resources.  IT took me 4 hours to calm down after the incident. I probably aged two years.

My parents told me just recently their waitress ( a very attractive tall blonde girl) was pulled over by a cop and was asked all these questions for no reason. The cop said her light was out and she went back to check it and it wasn’t out. When she proceeded to tell him it wasn’t out, he got upset and kept making her wait with him and then when she got upset, he arrested her (which cost her 600 bucks and a court date).  This happenend in some podunk town in South Carolina called Wahalla.  

Later on in Oklahoma I stopped to eat. My male waiter took the opportunity to hit on me. He sat down across me to take my order and then asked me who I was, where I was going and other personal questions.  Not only that, he had to tell me about the fact that his divorce was finalized and she had custody of his kids…like I was asking him!  It was beyond strange. It was creepy and gross.  I had to take my phone out and text like I was super enthralled with something else. I didn’t even enjoy my meal and I was starving and exhausted.

I’m not even going to tell you about the pedophile  looking old guy getting a sexual favor in his car in Armarillo…driving 5 under the speed limit in the SPEEDING LANE.  It reminds me of when I was 19 (driving back to college and passing this guy on the interstate in North Carolina mountains). It involved a creepy old man, a steering wheel and sex toy…that’s all I’m saying.

I’m getting a new gun this week.

**I’m writing this purely for entertainment reasons and obviously the fact that young women should be very careful. Sometimes it would just be easier to be a dude and that’s the truth.
