11. I try not to interact with the cops in Broward County...

or anywhere else for that matter.
I was pulled over once for speeding here and when the cop asked where I was headed I said," Officer, with all due respect, I won't answer any questions. Here are my documents." He said, "You just looked a little lost, is all."
I stared at him with a blank face and then asked if I was being detained or under arrest and if so I still have nothing to say and may I be on my way?
He took my documents, wrote me a ticket, explained how I can handle it and I was on my way.
I took my citation to the ticket clinic, paid $60 bucks and the ticket was dismissed.
I refused to be baited by the local head-crackers.
I guess he didn't think I was lost after all.
I had a little peace weed on me too and I didn't need that drama either.
