Dear Joe,
I hope this note finds you well. As my mother may have described to you during the real estate closing, I ran into a bit of bad luck today and received 3 tickets from the same officer in the span of 10-15 minutes at the Best Buy off Route 46 West in West Paterson.
The name of the Officer is Eric Luker, officer #138. His commanding officer is Lt. Frasco. Please let me describe what occurred today in detail:
At approximately 10:45am, I walked into Best Buy, thinking I had parked in a perfectly legal parking spot. At exactly 10:53am, less than 10 minutes later, I returned to my car to see Officer Luker blocking my car with his police car. My first thought was to kindly ask him to move his car back a bit so that I could leave because I was in a rush. I had no idea that I had done anything wrong. I even thought that he was perhaps waiting for someone or writing someone else a ticket. I walked over to his passenger side and stopped when I saw a light blue marking on the ground and realized that he was writing me the ticket. I greeted him with a smile but he didn’t care to speak with me. I then knocked on his window; he rolled it down and I proceeded to tell him it was an honest accident and it was only the moment I stood between the back of my own car and on the side of his car that I actually saw some faded blue markings on the ground that was supposed to delineate the parking spot as handicapped. (Please see attached photos taken by me today. As you can clearly see, the marking isn’t half as predominant as the other handicapped spaces next it and there is absolutely no sign for drivers to clearly see it is a handicapped space. To make things worse, it was cloudy and drizzling.) His sole response: “Too late.” So I politely and sincerely asked him, since he said it was ‘too late’, if he would be writing the same ticket if I had been walking to my car 5 minutes earlier. He mumbled something that I could not understand fully about arguing with a cop. I replied, “Officer, I’m not trying to argue with you, does it seem like I’m being aggressive? Of course not.” I was honestly just trying to have a rational conversation about the situation. At that point, he attitude turned even more vitriolic and he quickly retorted "Oh, you haven't even seen me get agressive yet!" and then told me to shut up and get in my car. I stood there shocked and asked “Excuse me?” And he told me again, this time louder. The second I tried to ask why, he cut me off once again, yelling at me. (There were people walking in and out of the store stopping to see what the commotion was- I was completely embarrassed by the way Officer Luker was treating me.)
Officer Luker followed me to my car, ordered me to get in and open the window and then demanded my license and registration. He proceeded to ask me a series of questions, some of which seemed completely irrelevant since he had the information right in front of his eyes and even said in an obviously derogatory manner, such as “Who owns this car? Who is this car registered to? Are you on your parents’ insurance policy?” I answered the questions straightforward, no questions. Ten minutes passed before he returned to my car with yet another ticket in his hand. This one for ‘obstructing view’, which was referring to the radar detector that was suctioned cup to the very lowest part in the center of my windshield. I said “Thanks” and remained in my car for a few minutes, trying to regain my composure and attempt to call my mother to vent my frustration. I watched Officer Luker drive off and I finally drove off in the opposite direction (which happen to be the way I came in) to go back onto Route 46 West. However, no less than 40 seconds after I began driving through the parking lot to get back on the highway, I noticed he cut off the person driving behind me to get behind my vehicle. Naturally, I was fixated on his car waiting for him to stop following me, not to mention still in shock at what just happened to me less than 5 minutes ago. (I have never shed a tear in front of a cop before but I was bawling by this point.) As I make a slight right, following 2-3 cars out to the route 46 East exit, Officer Luker turns on his siren and lights and proceeds to pull me over. He walks up to my driver side door. I couldn’t even force any words out of my mouth so I just looked up at him, mouth agape. He said: “I don’t have any more tickets in my car to write up, so I’m going to mail you a summons.” Completely confused, I asked “For what?” and he replied “For not putting your turn signal on when making a right turn.” He began to walk away before stepping back to remind me that there was a court appearance required for the parking spot ticket. I retorted: “I’ll see you in court with my lawyer.” As if he didn’t put me through enough grief, he decided to give me another completely unnecessary ticket especially seeing as how two other cars also failed to turn on their blinkers. Also, if it wasn’t obvious that he was ticketing me the first two times just to provoke me and/or fulfill his monthly quota, it was most definitely apparent now. Moreover, it was quite evident that he was following me; after he uncouthly informed me that another ticket would arrive in the mail, he returned to his vehicle, made a u-turn in the middle of the road and drove it in the opposite direction.
The court date is scheduled for Tuesday, November 29th at 4pm.
Regardless of these tickets he issued to me, I believe his behavior alone should be reported. Why should people be subjected to attitudes like Officer Luker’s, especially if they are being polite and orderly with officers? Shoppers from Best Buy were staring at me as if I had stolen from the store- his arrogance and aggressiveness were completely unwarranted. Additionally, for the record, all three of these particular charges are first time offenses for me.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, Joe. Please feel free to call me at any time at the number listed above regarding this matter and anticipate your response.
Best Regards,
Daniela

A tape recorder would have been handy for this situation.
Did he put on his lights the first time he gave you a ticket? Correct me if im wrong, but is it not a requirement that cops have their lights in these situations. |

I didn't know there were best buy's in italy.
Anyway, cops are dicks. All of them, they love doing whatever the they want, and then turning around and enforcing laws that they all break, them. |
