Ah yes, to protect and serve.
Just the other night, I got stopped by
the police in the redneck hick town of
Your hicktown of choice>>>_________.
Cop said I didn't stop at a stop sign,
but it was total bull****. He simply profiled
me for having long hair. So, after he pulled me over,
he asks, "do you mind if I look in your car?"
To which I replied, "yes I do".
The law says that he can't If I deny,
so he calls a canine unit and they take
a dog around my car and claim that
the dog indicated a hit on the drivers side door.
Well I watched the whole thing
and the dog didn't do anything any different
at the driver side door than anywhere else.
So the first cop says to me,
"Well, we got permission *now*!"
Then he proceeds to enter my car and
starts t'rootin around.
So I asked the second cop
(who had already put his dog up).
"why don't you just take the dog over there
and let him find the stuff?
Wouldn't that be a whole lot easier?"
You should have seen his face as he
squirmed and fidgeted to come up with an answer.
So here's what he came up with,
"Well, er,,, my buddy's pretty good at
searching and finding things."
To which I retorted "YEAH ,, RIGHT !!!
So, after a little threat from him about
how I could go to jail for being uncooperative,
he waltzes over to his buddy who is still
searching the car and they exchange
a few words.
Then they return and tell me,
"well, we're going to cut you a break" :-)
Then they let me go.
I still don't know if they let me go
(for expired auto insurance) because they
were just *nice guys* or if it's because
I saw through their little escapades,,,
but I have my suspicions of course :-)
man, I really thought for awhile these clowns
were actually going to plant something on me.
Unfortunately, it's all part of the political climate
these days.
In the last elections, every politician around here ran
on some kind of "I'm the toughest on crime" platform.
Then when they do get elected, they're out to prove it,
which for the sherriff and police commissioners means
shaking down as many people as they can for almost
any offense they can find. So they push their
Barney Fifes to rack up as many brownie points
as they possibly can out in the field.
It's gotten to the point where I have to push
my hair up under my hat now when I go to town
lest I be viewed as a potential * brownie point*
It's pretty damn frikkin sick the climate around
here these days. If my wife didn't want to
live here (because of relatives), I'd be out of here
in a new york second.
Oh, did I mention, it's also a "dry" county and
you could go to jail for having an unopened bottle
of wine in your possession ?
Frikken bible belters!
I guess they think Jesus turned water into grape juice.
Ah yes, to protect and serve
