...it was 4 days ago.
Driving from Grass Valley to Colfax on 174 after watching the fireworks at Lake Wildwood... just about 100 yards from the I80 junction in Colfax. I knew a cop was following me 'cause the radar was going ape-shit, so I wasn't speeding. Cop followed me for a good 2 miles leading up to the stop sign just before the I80 freeway on ramp. I'm sitting at the stop sign about to turn left, and he pulls up behind me and flips on the lights. Uses the PA to tell me just to pull straight ahead... so I do.
Guy walks up to the window, tells me he pulled me over because "back at the rail road bridge, and again just before the stop sign I crossed over the center line". Now I wasn't going to argue with the guy... but I certainly wasn't "crossing over" anything, sure I was using all the lane to avoid swerving the car through the twisties to stay dead center, but I think the cop was just looking for an excuse to pull me over on the off chance that I was drinking... it was 10pm on July 4th after all.
Anyway, he asks me if I had been drinking. I told him that I had a couple of beers at the lake earlier that afternoon, but nothing since I ate dinner 3 hours ago. The cop checked out my license in his computer then came back and made me do the old "look at my finger without turning your head" deal right from the driver's seat. Gave me back my license, and told me to have a good evening.
Only time ever that I've been pulled over and not gotten a ticket... 'course I wasn't doing anything wrong... but still I felt like I "got away" with something.
