I win!

So, I am driving home from a friend's house late one evening. It the perfect temperature outside, all the lights are green, and my gas tank is full. I get to the intersection at Madison and Cooper and the light turns yellow. I make a split-second decision to run it when, just as I hit the point of no return, I see the outline of a Crown Victoria on the intersecting road. I slammed on my breaks. They squealed embarrassingly and my car fish-tailed a bit. I had a horrible feeling the officer was about to pull me over for reckless driving. On the contrary, he advanced as his light turned green and gave me the thumbs up sign as if to tell me, "Yes Katie, I was going to have pulled you over had you ran that red-light. Making a scene at that intersection was the right thing to do. Carry on."
