Not the case at all when I was pulled over 5 years ago for tint. The cop threw on his lights during rush hour in Brooklyn Park on 252. I turned on my blinker immediatley and instead of stopping on the busy road, pulled into a parking lot. From the time he turned on his lights, to the time I was stopped was maybe 20 seconds at most.
When he got to my window the first thing out of his mouth (and not in a very tactful tone) was "Don't you know to pull over when you see the lights come on?" I, being very polite, told him that I thought it would be better to just pull into this parking lot and away from all the traffic. He told me no that is not my choice to make. They decide when to turn on the lights and pull us over, we don't decide that. He was quite pissed.
Was he retarded, YES, but that's just it. No matter what you do, some cop will have a different opinion and scold you for it. Just gotta take it for what it's worth and move on.
