Thank you for sharing. Every time I got the citation or tickets, I always doubted their intention. This is useful information. If I get cited for a situation like this, now I know that one of my Nepali brethren has been through this.

I will share a story from few years back. I was driving @60 inside a Tunnel in Boston towards Logan Intl Airport where the posted speed limit was 45. So a Cop with blaring lights and sirens followed me. I saw him and then continued driving because I thought (in my mind) that I'd stop after I passed the tunnel because somehow I thought the shoulder was to slim to stop. But the cop followed me for a while, came right in front of me because I hadn't stopped. He stopped abruptly like 5 yards in front of me diagonally, pulled his gun and came outside of his police car, pounding, and with gun pointing at me. He shouted at me like hell and asked me why hadn't I stopped even when I saw him. I nervously answered that since it was a tunnel and the shoulder was narrow, I was thinking of stopping after the tunnel. He later gave me speeding ticket. So after I reached home, I wrote a complain letter to BPD complaining about racial discrimination I had faced. I also sent them an email. I never received a response. I also went to court to defend my citation ticket. I got a reduced fee at the court. Nothing happened on my complaint letter, neither did I follow up. But today, when I reflect back; I don't know what to make of it. The police had indiscriminately screamed and cursed at me. But then I didn't stop. Maybe I am a sensitive person. Maybe I was lucky that day. I don't know.
