I continue on my way home at 110km/h.

Just got a phone call from the cops, apparently this Security guard called and complained about my driving.... Cop was understanding and i know he was just doing his job but the Security Guard made me LMAO at how petty he was... apparently driving dangerous is better than someone flashing you to pass....

I guess thats why he was a rent a cop and not a real cop.
You'd be surprised how many "heroes" like this are out there, not just security guards, either.

Of course there's legitimate cases where the cops should be called. But sometmes people just feel wronged and want to get you in trouble, instead of calling because they're actually concerned about their's and other's safety.

From personal experience a couple years ago, I was looking for a certain street and had swerved a little bit when I thought I had to turn, but realized it was the wrong road. It was like 1am and there wasn't much traffic. All of a sudden at the next light, some older guy and his wife pull up and roll down their window.

Buddy's smirking in a self-righteous way and says, "just so you know, we've notified the cops. (To his wife) 'Does it smell like liqour in there?'" "Kind of" (as they're straining to look into my car for liqour)

I just laughed and drove off. I doubt they actually called the cops, but still, some people just have to mind their own business.
