When the Tables are Turned, or Donut Make Me Pull You Over, Again

According to the Miami Herald, a police officer is accused of speeding – and was pulled over by a civilian. The civilian traffic stop happened after the driver chased the police squad car. A video is posted on line.
“The reason I pulled you over today,” Claudia Castillo, the female driver who posted the videos, told an unidentified Miami-Dade police officer in the video, “is because I saw you, since Miller Drive when you were first jumping onto the Palmetto, and you were pushing 90 miles an hour.”
“I just wanted to know: what’s the emergency,” she asked.
“Um, I don’t know how fast I was going,” the officer replied. “But I can tell you this: I’m on my way to work right now. I don’t believe I was speeding.”



The reason I pulled you over today
Is that you were speeding in a most dangerous way.
I know you're a cop here to uphold the law
But I had to pull you over after all that I saw.

On the Palmetto you pushed 90 miles an hour
As if I were sitting still and you had atomic power.
So I chased flashing my lights and honking my horn
To stop you from speeding and to pass on my scorn.

Claudia Castillo did that officers job
Professionally done and not like a snob.
He listened real close with the deepest respect,
Knowing that in stopping him she was correct.

He was going to work and didn't think he was fast.
Promised to slow down, he was quite flabbergast.
She didn't want his badge number, the warning was ample,
That we all must drive setting a better example.
