Pulled over after hafla

topic posted Mon, April 7, 2008 - 9:02 AM by  Amira
As I was driving home from the hafla, I noticed blue lights in my rear view mirror. My immediate thought, was "Oh, sh**, I'm in belly dance attire". Talia (my daughter) was with me and we started cracking up. She asked why the police were pulling me over and I just made the assumption that I must have been speeding. Well, when I pulled off and he came to the window, what a shock he was in for when he saw my unusual tribal face. I immediately started laughing and told him how embarrassed I was that I was pulled over when I looked like that. He told me he had pulled me over for a burned out headlight. He took my license and insurance info back to his car. He was taking quite a while and all the sudden I told Talia, "He's calling another officer to come over here". Wouldn't you know, a few minutes later a second officer pulls up. It was hysterical. They proceeded to tell me how they had never pulled over a belly dancer before. He gave me a written warning and sent me on my way. I know that as soon as they got back to the station that night, the topic of conversation was that crazy belly dancer he pulled over. They were out looking for drunk drivers so I'm lucky he didn't make me get out and walk a straight line!

    unfortunately my Dear, you will be the talk of the station for awhile, LOL, a hot chick belly dancer, yup that one won't die for at least a month.
    ROTFLMAO, glad your daughter got a good laugh too, some kids would be un-nerved if Mom got pulled over. All in all, that will be a great story on all sides of it for years to come.

        I just made an assumption that I must have been speeding. I usually am through that stretch of road. Talia was more focused on making fun of me than the fact that a cop was there. It WAS quite comical.
