Stopped by officer on the other side of the light...not for speeding but because I'd (barely) run the light.
He takes my Oregon license back to patrol car and when he comes back:
"Mr ********, the state of Oregon requires that I detain you; it's one of three states that require this" (note that I am not a felon, deadbeat dad, or anything else)...my boss said I turned really pale....but fortunately the officer continued with "but I'm going to forget that part and just give you a ticket"...I now drive much more carefully when I'm outside of Oregon..also now when I visit the mothership I let the boss drive to lunch
I am kind of confused about this. Why would the state of Oregon want a cop to detain you while running a light in ATL?
