the cop used sirens and flashing lights to pull me over (i was on my bicycle)

Last night I decided to ride my bike to the tennis court to hit on the backboard. As I turned right at the top of a large hill, I noticed a police car turn onto the street behind me. As I coasted down the hill, I waited for the car to pass me by, but it never did. It stayed behind me the whole way down. At the bottom of the hill, I suddenly hear the cop's siren and see its lights flash. As I was the only "vehicle" around, I supposed I must be the culprit. Bewildered, I pulled over my bicycle.

My surprise was compounded when I saw the face of my tormentor. The officer was an elderly woman, and she was driving a minivan. Not your typical law-enforcement image.

"Your bike lights aren't bright enough!" she told me. "Oh." I wasn't sure what to say. Did that really merit a siren? I considered telling her that I didn't have any bike lights, but thought better of it. There must be some ordinance in Arlington that requires cyclists to have bike lights. She went on for a bit, and then concluded, "Other than that, you're doing everything right. Thanks for wearing a helmet!" With that, she smiled and drove away.

And that, folks, is my first experience getting pulled over on my bike, and my first experience with a police grandma driving a cop minivan. Of all the police, the police grandmas must be my favorites.
