I have also been pulled over for burned out taillight bulbs more than
once. My old Z-cars ate them regularly.

When I was in Dallas, I saw many cars pulled over for using the carpool
lane with one person, I had forgotten about that one. They were just
waving them over as fast as they could.

Sorta blows the "police will only pull people over for speeding and
expired tags" theory out of the water, eh?

I have heard that they will sometimes even pull people over for driving
while intoxicated or for stealing cars.
Where are these ideas coming from? ;-)
