10. Once, a long time ago.

My then boyfriend raced cars at Thompson Raceway in CT.

After the races, we left the track in my car (a sporty convertible). We made a stop at a stop sign, and then turned right.

We hadn't gone 30 feet before the flashing lights and sirens were behind us.

The cop claimed we were speeding and ordered us to the police station (Webster, MA). They told us we'd have to pay $50 or stay in custody.

$50 was a lot of money at the time, and we didn't have it. So we had to call a friend who lived an hour away to come and bail us out.

I'm sure those cops made a lot of money out of people leaving Thompson.
