I am sure everyone remembers my last and only brush with the law, the infamous unjustified traffic ticket incident. (Al, feel free to enjoy the sordid tale in the link). It took me a while to start traveling that same route on my way home, and even now I carefully turn right on red only from the curb lane in spite of the fact that I know I am right and that judge was an incompetent idiot. So today I am driving home, and whaddya know -- I am at the exact same intersection in the far right lane with a couple of cars ahead of me, and in the right turn lane to my left is a Redwood City cop behind yet another innocent driver. That guy stops at the red light, makes sure nobody is coming, and turns right -- just like I did. Oh great, I figure, I am going to see this cop pull the same stunt with this guy as they did with me. What happens? You guessed it! The cop pulls up, stops, makes sure nobody is coming, and turns right on red himself. Arrrghh!!!
I guess a citizen's arrest was out of the question. Better just to count to ten and breathe deeply.
