My First Ticket

So I found out today that my street is 15 mph zone and not 25. I was coming out of my house with Hailey so we could go get her cake and food for her bday party. Across the street sat a base cop who had another cop passenger with him. I know he was staring at me just thinking he was going to get me. Well I get in my car pass by him and I am thinking to myself oooo he is going to get him someone hehe. Not knowing well it will be me. So here I am trying to be super careful going 25 and i get through the first red light and I never saw him turn around to follow me. So I approach the next stop light I needed to make a right turn and it started turned yellow so I went through it real fast as it was turning red and well what do u know the red and blue flashes started flashing. I pulled over and he comes to the car and ask " Ma'am do you know why I am pulling u over? well since I was driving so careful earlier and since I have never been pulled over I said um was it because I ran that red light and he was like well ma'am that is not why I actually pulled u over for going 25 in a 15 on Hickam dr and I was like oh really I didnt realize that was the speed limit. So anyways I hand him my DL and he asked for my registration and insurance I couldnt find them and then I said well isnt the registration on the license plates and he said well u have temporary plates and they should have given u a piece of paper. Well then I was thinking crap cause I knew it must have been at home. So then he says well ma'am do u realize ur DL is expired and I say well I thought if u were military u didnt have to renew it if u were in a different state and he said that is only for active duty members not spouses GRRRR. So I find my insurance hand it to him goes to his car and comes back lets me know that he was not giving me a ticket for running a red light, having an expired license or not being able to provide registration but he was giving me a ticket for speeding. So I got my first ticket. After he gave the ticket to me I said thank you. Now why in the world would I say thank u I am not thankful for being pulled over or to be given a 75.00 ticket grrr lol. I did get some great advice from Chrissy and Kevin when I got home they said next time I get pulled over and the cop ask me why he pulled me over just tell him Im sorry I do not know. Not oh was it because I ran a red light lmbo.
Oh and then on my way home he was sitting in that same spot. I am sure he was laughing and staring thinking I just gave her a ticket haha.
