Traffic stop with a twist
While on his journey, Braithwaite has spent his days offering pay-what-you-can rides to help fund his journey. A lot of days are spent on strangers' couches or in cheap motels. Braithwaite has said that he often has officers pull him over, they are all friendly and just a tad bit curious about his journey.
This stop took place while Braithwaite was driving down Michigan on October 27. The stop started off as normal, the officer checked his headlights, brake lights, taillights before walking back to his squad car with Braithwaite's licence. When the officer returned with his licence he knew something was different. According to Braithwaite, the officer had wrapped $20 dollars around the licence. Upon returning the licence the officer wished Braithwaite safe travels before going on his way.
