Douche cop made me late!

I drive for UPS but sometimes I fill in in the morning loading cars if they need extra help. So Im driving to work this morning around 2:35am and all of the sudden a cop car comes out of nowhere and flips his lights on.
I wasnt speeding or anything... He takes his time getting out of his car and then slowly walks up to my truck and we do the whole license, registration, and insurance bullshit. And of course he uses the "The reason I pulled you over is because your license plate light is out" excuse. The only reason they do this is because they think anyone driving passsed 2am is driving drunk . I tell him I am on my way to work so I am on a time limit. So he tells me to hang tight and he goes back to his car.
It's now about 2:50am and I am suppose to be there at 3am. He finally walks his slow ass back to my truck and says "Yeah I pulled you over because we were looking for a truck like yours that flee'd from us earlier" Now Im pissed off. So I ask him "10 minutes ago you said you pulled me over because my light was out, so which excuse is it?" He replied "A little bit of both" Whatever the fuck that even means!
So I end up getting to work around 3:05 ish meaning I was late which isnt a huge deal but I am the kind of person who is always early for work to get situated, so that really bugged me.
So basically some douche bag cop pulled me over trying to find someone to give a DUI and wasted 20 minutes of my life for absolutely nothing

You shouldn't be driving piss-drunk at 2:50 am on your way to work with a busted license lamp.
Let this be a lesson to you. You're lucky he didn't shoot you in the face...THEN YOU'D BE REALLY LATE!

Sure, it's an excuse, but it's a legitimate one. Making sure all your lights are shining is a good way to not get pulled over.

5 minutes? whatevs. Shit I've been a half hour late coming back from lunch for things outside my control like riding with people with busted defrosts or driving in bad weather and my boss doesn't give a shit. It's just it can't be a habit. We also, pretty regularly bullshit with our boss for like 30-45 minutes during our 15 minute breaks It's awesome we probably only actually work like 9 hours a day and get paid for 12.

Oh come on, that was funny. You need to lighten up boy. Maybe that cop's negative vibe radar went off. Maybe that's the reason he pulled you over.

Man you can get pulled over for crap but when they find out you've got a record they hold you up for the most ridiculous gear 
Happens all the time to me. Was worse when I was driving a WRX. I miss it but I don't missed getting pulled over because I drove nice car.

some cops are real douche bags but some can be pretty cool.
one time i was on my way home from work on the back road that led to my house. turned the corner, saw the cop, looked at my speed... FUCK. new it was to late. 70 in a 45. keep in mind its a open back road and i could drive it blind. just got off work with tucked in dress shirt and i dont look like a scum bag.
pulls me over, asks for my shit, runs me though the system and comes back. i was extremely polite and respectful as was he. he comes back and says "you know how fast you were going? ill just say it was 65 so it not a felony." he saw i was only a mile or two from my house and that i had no record. tells me "were just out looking for bad guys. do me a favor and slow down ok? ill pull out and let you back up so you can pull off safely."
he even told me he really appreciated be slowing down to 35, putting on my emergency's and driving the extra 1/4 mile or so so that i could find a safe place to pull over off the road instead of stopping dead in the street or slightly on the curb like most idiots. lol
not even a warning. that was one cool pig

What a bunch of shit. I've been pulled over about three times for that reason, and still never fixed the license plate light. All they really functioned as was a decoration, they didn't Illuminate the plate at all. My new car has nice liscense plate lights though.

It helps a lot in LA if you are white and look like someone from the west side of town and cops usually don't fuck with you because they have way worse shit to deal with...

It's annoying but probably the best way to avoid getting pulled over is to have everything in working order, no matter how useless. It's cop repellent.
Unless you have a tendency to drive around wasted, then you're probably screwed and probably for the best.
It's always luck of the draw with cops, there are plenty of decent people out there trying to help out. For every one of those there are probably 2 or 3 complete dickheads ready to fuck up your life.

I once got stopped by a cop, turns out he thought my windows were too dark. So he got some kind of device for testing this, turns out that, yes, my windows were .8% too dark. I had to pay a big fine (The only kind in the Netherlands) and had to replace my windows. I didn't, and in the following years driving my car, this never happened again.
Some cops get all high on their own ego, others really seem to be doing their job. My advice is: play it nice with either type of cop, because when they want to get nasty, they can get really nasty.

For all of you saying he was just doing his job and I need to make sure all of my lights are working etc... Thats a bunch of bullshit because the only people who know that the license plate bullshit is even a law is because they get pulled over for that reason. Besides the law states (in Montana) there just needs to be light around your license plate like from your tail lights because not all vehicles come with a rear license plate light.
Case and point, FUCK the dumb pigs who abuse the law and pull you over for no reason hoping you have been drinking.

No offense, but if you don't know that a functioning license plate light is mandatory, you simply have not been paying attention.
ALL street legal vehicles have them. ALL must have them. There are no street legal vehicles that come without them, either as as separate unit or with a tail light with a white/clear window on the bottom to illuminate the plate (like older jeeps for example). Federal law has required them since October of 1981 not sure of the date but the standard was revised in Oct 1981. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2011-title49-vol6/pdf/CFR-2011-title49-vol6-sec571-108.pdf
Montana law: 61-9-204. Taillamps. (3) Either a taillamp or a separate lamp must illuminate with a white light the rear registration plate and render it clearly legible from a distance of 50 feet to the rear.
It even appears in the Montana Drivers License handbook.
page 22:' LICENSE PLATE LAMP Vehicles manufactured after January 1, 1956 must emit white light to illuminate license plate for 50 feet to the rear. License plate lighting that is not original manufacturer’s equipment is prohibited.
To sum up, make sure your lights are on and functioning. Having even a single lamp out is screaming for attention from a cop.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
