Today, I parked my truck in a construction lot along Lohman's Crossing in Lakeway, TX. It was in a school zone where the speed limit is 20 mph.

Cars are always driving too fast through this zone. A police car was further down the road running radar to catch speeders.

I was wearing my new Speed Trap Ahead.org T-shirt. You can see a pic at: http://gallery.me.com/lancermit#100343

Well, Sgt. James DeBrow showed up along with 4 other officers and a code enforcement guy. They stalled for quite awhile while they evaluated their options. However, when it came to the point of beginning to issue me a ticket (for God knows what), I seem to have messed with a sensitive issue with officer DeBrow. He's under the impression that I MUST show some 'official' form of identification when asked for I.D.

In fact, the only thing that is required in the state of Texas when asked for identification is to provide your name, address, and date of birth. That's what I did; and, that's when officer DeBrow had a conniption.

I'll post more on what happened after my arrest in a later post. Check out my website at http://www.speedtrapahead.org (less info)
