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.
