Legal Question


Failure to stop at a stop sign?

So I was pulling out of highschool

(first one out) as I had to be at work

at 3:00 I got to the end of the

parking lot and stopped at the stop

sign to merge onto the main road (3

way stop sign) I saw the cop to my

right up the hill so i stopped extra

long lol. Before I even finished the

turn he flicked his lights and siren on.

He said ''first off that was a stop sign

back there'' I told him I stopped and

he said ''you stopped, but you looked

like you were in a hurry'' I told him

that I was on my way to work and he

said ''you need to slow down too'' in

reality I only made it about 10ft so i

could not have been going too fast. I

didnt have my license on me but I

tried to give him my registration. He

asked me for my name/DOB and he

told me to slow down and that he

would be contacting my parents. He

called my mom today and said that I

am getting a citation for failure to

stop at a stop sign and reckless

driving. CAN HE DO THAT. He pulled

me over on friday and said nothing

about a citation. And I know I

stopped.
