Last night I decided to go for a ride to Door County in Wisconsin. This area is actually a pretty neat part of the state. It is primarily known for its tourist attractions in the summer months. There are tons of little shops and restaurants. I learned last night that for whatever reason driving down highway 42 in the winter months is somewhat “suspicious”. At least that is what the door county police said when they called me a 10-37. I was pulled over 3 times in less than a hour. I was not given a ticket for anything. First in Sister Bay, WI. I first heard my plate being called driving north on 42. Officer asked dispatch for a “27″(10-27, drivers license check).I took a immediate right giving the squad behind me something interesting to deal with. I then heard dispatch come back and say I was valid and stated my expiration date. The officer said “hold on to it” in reference to keeping the information up because he was going to pull me over. In the meantime the road I had turned off on turned out to be a circle. I had to drive back out onto 42. Sure enough, as expected the officer was sitting at the bottom of the hill waiting for me to drive by. His lights went on immediately after passing him. He came and got my license. This time requesting a “28″(10-28, vehicle registration check). Came back good. He came back and told me I was good to go. Not offering a reason as to why I was stopped. He told the dispatcher to “file the 27 and 28″. Meaning, close the call. About 15 minutes later that same officer chimed back in to dispatch asking her to run a criminal record check on “that green bay car” he stopped a few minutes ago. She promptly did so and came back with “I was unable to find any criminal record for subject”. 10-4 the officer replied. By this time I was heading up towards the Fish Creek area. I was pulled over again here. This officer also ran my plates..but did not do so until I was stopped. He said I should be careful in this area because of deer. Right, whatever. Now I was on my way back south down some on county road ZZ. I noticed a vehicle following me. It was right after shift change (10:44) so I figured i’d once again get some grief. I slowed down a bit and even took a left turn into a closed BP gas station. The vehicle passed and it was a door county police officer. I grabbed a peice of paper towel and then slowly went back to the road and saw that this police officer had slowed and was turning around. I then continued on my route. I then took a left on county road F and then eventually in a empty restaurant to turn around. It was here I was pulled over upon entering the road again. This time there was backup. I knew he had called for backup. After all, I was listening. He asked what I was doing. I told him the same story about just driving around. Then I changed my story and said I was going home. He said to make up your mind. I said if I want to go home i’ll go home if not i’ll drive around. After all, I wasn’t doing anything wrong by doing either. He said fine and let me go. After pulled away I heard more chatter on the radio. He asked the other officer to “go to B”(sic: referring to Channel B, Car-To-Car, or Tactical frequency. 154.9500 051DPL) . I recorded this exchange. The mp3 can be found here: HERE
They did not see the scanner in my vehicle…
