Panicking with a cop: the final act of 2013

Ending this year,  I signed two new songs, finally bought a straightener (after 5 years of claiming I'd buy one), and got pulled over for blowing past a stop sign.

It's been a Long time since I got pulled over (I used to get pulled over All the time for no reason except my truck was suspicious, so I've no fear of cops. I think I laughed and cried the first time though..)

In my defense,  my sister was on the phone,  terrified that someone was in the house. She calls me whispering into the phone,  I had just arrived at church (ON TIME, mind you.), and I immediately knew something was wrong. She tells me there was a man that yelled downstairs and she locked herself in her room. I told her, hang up and call the police immediately! She refused because she was afraid it would be a false alarm, if there was a window open somewhere. I end up getting my brother and taking off immediately.
Not one street down, I see my boys in blue lighting up my rear view mirror. Ugh! Bad timing guys. I have one brief wild urge to race him home, but my sis confirmed to my bro that she did not hear anything else, so I pulled over. The cop comes to my window, and wants me to lower my window (which I can't do...) So I offer to open my door instead. I hand him my DL and he tells me he pulled me over because I blew past the George st stop sign.

I explain about my sister,  apologize,  and he asks me 1. How old are you?  2. Is there alcohol in car, have you had any alcohol tonight? 

I was in a small panic about my sister,  so I'm not thinking straight.  I tell him 25, then Blow air at him and say "no, do the breathalizer thing,  it's cool, no drinking!" He checks my license,  registration,  and insurance right there by me, then gives me a warning and let's me go.

Of course I get home and it's a Total false alarm,  but I'd rather that be the case any day.
