Michael Patterson was a 38-year-old Texas state trooper who grew up having dreams of becoming a police officer. Michael’s father died when he was just a boy, so he knew at a young age that he wanted to be there for his mother and take care of her by working a stable job.
Throughout his career, Michael had made thousands of traffic stops. It was never his favorite thing to do because you were often met with individuals who were stressed or defensive about getting pulled over, but he knew that it was just a part of his job.
Whenever Michael saw someone on the road doing something illegal, he often pulled them over to give them a warning or a traffic ticket. Most of the tickets he gave were for speeding or not wearing a seatbelt.
One day, Michael was on patrol when he saw a vehicle pass by with super dark tinted windows. He immediately wondered how the individual could even see out the windows to drive as they appeared dark beyond the legal limit.
With that, Michael decided he should put on his siren and flashing patrol lights to stop the individual who was driving the vehicle. When Michael pulled him over, it was a man in his 50s and he didn’t seem too thrilled to be getting stopped by the police.
