miko2I got a letter from the Washington State Patrol today. That was worrisome, since I'm already worried that I could be pulled over at any moment for expired tabs.
The letter said that an annonymous person had reported seeing litter (fast food containers) tossed from my car. They said it happened at around Highway 99 and 50th, which I drive every day, so I don't doubt that someone saw my car and recorded my license plate correctly -- however, whatever they think they saw, I most certainly have never tossed trash out of my car while driving down the road. I've never done that, and it's pretty annoying to be accused of doing it.
The letter said that I couldn't be ticketed for it, but that "if an officer had seen it" then I would have been ticketed. Which of course he wouldn't have seen such a thing because it didn't happen -- but it makes you wonder, if mr. annonymous got the facts wrong, what's to say a cop couldn't make the same mistake? It's a very big fine too.
Oh well, nothing I should worry about, but still, very annoying. It also makes me wonder if someone didn't purposefully file a false report because they were mad at me for some other imagined slight, such as I'd cut in front of them or something. Not that it accomplishes anything, but I'm sure if I knew who'd reported me, I'd be tempted to report them in turn. :p
