Run in with the law

[Coot_Meurer]

Two library's from Austin are driving down the road in Texas. Their Volvo is covered with Obama stickers and they are texting, chatting, and speeding.

Soon they see blue lights in their rear view mirror, and pull over, commenting to each other that this is probably some dumb ole bubba of a cop.

The officer approaches the driver side, taps on the window. The driver rolls down the window and with attitude says "what's up Bubba?".

The cop taps him upside the head with the nightstick and says - "let's try this again, but with a little respect!"

Immediately, the driver gets out his license and registration, and the cops goes back to his car to write the tickets.

Returning to the car, the cop hand the driver his license, registration, and ticket - then goes around to the passenger side. Again he knocks on the window.As soon as the window comes down, the cop smacks the passenger with the nightstick.

"Ow, what did you do that for?" said the passenger.

"Just making your wishes come true" says the cop.

"What do you mean, making my wish come true?"

The cops says "I know that two miles down the road you are going to say to your buddy - I wish he tried that $&!t with me - and I am just making your wish come true!"

I think a camera or cell phone held up an in front of you could very well lead a LEO to mistake it for a weapon. The shine off a phone or video camera isnt worth getting shot or tased over. J/S.

Considering the world we live in today, I'd think that LEO (at least the ones I know) would expect that just about everyone has a cell phone in their hand and wouldnt just go around blasting folks for talking on the phone...

The good thing is that it'll all be caught on camera though!

Not meaning talking. Holding it away from body with arms extended videoing. I think common sense is the answer in these situations. Unfortunately that is getting harder to find.

The only run-in I've had in like 15 years is when my wife got pulled over for not having lights on my single axle trailer hooked up. It was a black cop who was following her around town and she got tired of it so she pulled into a church parking lot to let him pass. He followed her there and hit the lights. She called me up and told me what was going on. I called the sheriffs department right then, said he best let her go due to KRS 189.060 (4). Suddenly he was all like "imma gonna let you go this time" and sat there like he was expecting a big thank you. She denied any wrongdoing and basically just said whatever and nothing else while he just stood there hoping for gratitude. Awkward. Don't pull over an attorney who is married to a trailer dealer about a frivolous trailer issue and expect that things will go smoothly.
