I'm not sure where you live Comatose, but where I live, the police are what we call "Ticket Happy" this time of the month. Yeah see, since it's technically the second week of the month, cops in my area are in that phase where they're starting to take meeting their quota more seriously. However, since it's the end of the second week, they're transitioning into the "Ticket Madness" phase where they start ticketing for almost no reason. I think you were a victim of this. Just be glad it isn't the last week of the month. Where I live that's the "ticket insanity" week where you have to be as careful as possible because they'll pull laws out of their butts just to ticket you.
