He was an older guy- likely not a rookie cop and no, he did not even attempt to hit on me- lol
I think I do know how this happened though.
He called me again last night around 9:15pm. Told me he had been thinking about it all night and decided since it was his mistake that I could send it in at the $41.
I thanked him for that- and then it hit me and I asked- do you work nights?
Yes, he works graveyard. We chatted about the ticket. I told him I was very careful at the stop sign and asked if it was him sitting there yesterday morning- and it was (and since he did not pull me over I guess I did it right this time)-
I suspect that when he gave me the ticket it was the end of his shift- when he came in that night he saw the error and called me- because it was the start of his "day".
So- issue resolved. I will send in the discounted fine and all is well.
Thanks for all the advice!
