Clbert badge number (D17) on thursday morning about 7:20 on my way to work where i encountered a detour coming from Elliott st going toward Hancock St when officer clibert saw me he pointed his thumb indicating that i need to take a left in which i proceeded to do...i observed another officer standing with officer Clbert...but couldn't make out his rank. i proceeded to take the left which is a sharp left and than another immediate right turn onto Hancock Ct. i was driving on main st when officer Clbert pulled behind me with his blue lights flashing. i pulled over and the officer approached me and show me your drivers license and he said i guess you want to know why i pulled you over...and of course my response was yes. he (officer Clbert) started to yell at me...saying i suppose you don't think that you were driving aggressively... said 1 had no idea of what you are referring to...he repeated that again to me and i ga ve the same response...! he said you made a fool out of me in front of my Sargent...and he told me to pursue you. i repeated for what and he indicated that he was going to give me a citation but didn't have any with him and that i would be getting one in the mail...and that 1 could count on it! i repeated again that i had no idea what you are talking about...i said you told mo to go left and i did what io the big deal.,.and he asked me if 1 wae dumb or just plain stupid. i asked him again for what and he than turned on me and said for that i am going to call it in and write you up...within a few minutes an officer arrived and i assume it was his Sargent...officer Clbert than said i am going to write you up for not wearing a seat belt...i informed the officer that i was wearing one and in order to get my drivers license and my registration i had to take it off and he replied and said to me that i didn't see you take it off...i replied to the officer that i think your having a bad day as i didn't do anything wrong and if i embarrassed you for whatever reason while you are 1on you detail...i apologize. the officer than proceeded to write up the ticket and came back and asked me what year my car was and i told him that it was a 2008...he than said he was also going to write me up for not having my registration...and i said to him...give me a break. when the officer finally came back with the ticket he said 1 am giving you a citation but was giv! ing me a break on the sealt belt...and with that he said to me smiling take a look at the ticket...and i did and he wrote it up for a fine of $350.00 and was smiling all the while. i am 70 years old and i can tell you in all my experiences with the police i have never been treated in this manner...i ama from a yes sir...no sir generation...and to have a police officer get off on giving a fine like that surely disturbs me...and hopefully the medford police department...i having taken pictures of the site and i Gan tell you that if i was doing 40 miles an hour as he claims...even 30 miles an hour in taking those close turns...4 would be on my side...it is totally ludicrous to thing that i could be speeding in that area...it was totally fabricated... i hope to prove that...in summation...i think that this officer will be a burden on your department and if he was in the corporate world with a union...he would have been fired...i don't think any citizen should be treated in this manner,..it was totally an intimidating moment...and the evidence is clear by looking at the streets involved and the punishment rendered. respectively Joseph A Todisco
