If you’ve ever seen a cop just FLY past you and thought, “I’d sure like to pull HIM over for speeding,” well, a woman actually pulled that off. Unfortunately, she was kind of a smug jerk about it, which sort of ruined the effect.
Claudia Castillo of Miami, Florida was driving on Friday afternoon when a cop sped past her. So she started following him, finally got his attention, and he pulled over.
Then she whipped out her phone, and started recording when he came to her car. She said, “The reason I pulled you over today, you were pushing 90 miles per hour, I just wanted to know, what’s the emergency?”
And the cop clearly realizes he’s in a tough spot. He’s being filmed, and he can’t do what he probably WANTED to do, chew the woman out for wasting his time. So he’s actually apologetic, although he denies that he was speeding.
But Claudia doesn’t let up. When he says he pulled over because he thought she had an emergency, she tells him, “Everything’s fine, I just think we all should set an example. Leaders of the community lead by example.”
During their exchange, Claudia also admits she went 80 miles-an-hour to try to catch up with him. The Miami-Dade police say they’re investigating and they’ll take, “the appropriate course of action.”
(You can see Claudia’s video of their conversation, “cop gets pulled over for speeding” here.)
