Pulled Over Even Though Car In Front Committed Crime First I was sitting at a stop sign with one car in front of me and apparently a cop behind me which I didn't see. Everyone always turns left at this stop sign even though it says no left turn. This sign is pretty much just for football games because traffic gets bad but it is up all the time. The car in front of me turned left at the stop sign so I assumed it was clear for me to turn also. I stopped, looked both ways and proceeded to turn left. The cop turned left and followed me about 1/4 mile and then put his lights on and pulled me over for turning left at the sign and gave me a 170 dollar ticket. Is it legal for him to not pull over the first car that turned left and decide to pull me over instead? Also does 170 seem like a steep price for such a small infraction.
