Here's the scene. In a village, a quiet village, a film crew sign appears. It's the yellow sign on the pole at the corner.
Realizing what series was being filmed, I took out my tablet and snapped a picture. There was no one behind me, and it took all of three seconds as I sat at the stop sign. (These are all cropped from the same image.)

Note reverse lights on. |
The police officer saw me stopped (at the stop sign, mind you) taking the photo. He stopped and
backed up through the intersection to ask me what I was doing. I told him I was taking a photo and he BLEW UP at me, screaming that I should have pulled over, pointing out obnoxiously, at the top of his voice, that there was plenty of room for me to pull over...seriously. "Yes, officer. Next time I will remember." He drove off. Whew. I thought he was going to call for back-up, as Nassau Police do for...well...
everything. I really wanted to ask him if he oughtn't be arresting a burglar, or looking for expired parking meters, or something. I really REALLY wanted him to stop yelling at me. I wanted to remind him that he had no right to scream in my face over nothing...but I was in a hurry.
BTW, see the cool tablets on my tablet? One of my CCD students gave me that sticker.
Can you guess what they were filming? A yellow sign with initials and an arrow is to direct a film crew to the location. The initials are POI, and they were filming in our village!
