This reminds me of the time in Lethbridge when I got pulled over and ticketed for going through an amber light during a snow storm. It was really icy and I wasn't driving fast, the light turned yellow and I started to skid a little so I just proceeded through at a pretty slow pace. It was like 5 AM and no one else on the road, but they pulled me over and ticketed me for it. I fought it at the court house and I still had to pay it, but no points were taken off my license. I didn't think it was a reasonable ticket, but it was the law I guess. You can be ticketed for going through an amber light even if you need to.

I've been pulled over for some other dumb things in the past. In Thunder Bay, I was driving some people home late after work, and again during a snow storm, and I got pulled over and ticketed for driving in the middle of the street. There were huge snow banks on both sides of the road and so much snow on the ground, it was hard to see where the road even was.

Another time, I was driving through Alberta and was pulled over near Strathmore and had my car searched because they said someone reported that I was transporting drugs. I really don't know where that one came from. I was a teenager at the time, my mother had just passed away and I was moving to BC to live with my older sister. I stopped in Strathmore to get a coffee and accidently spilled it at the cashier, and they were upset about it. The only thing that I can think of is that they thought I was strung out or something and called the police, because it was about 5 minutes later that the police were waiting for me up the highway. Then when they searched my things, they were questioning me about why I had so many women's belongings, and I had a break down. Then they just hopped in their car and drove away.
