Nudity

While it may be legal (still debatable even though we were unable to find a ticket in the vehicle law code) drive an extremely low sitting car completely buck naked, it may not be advisable considering the approximately ten calls from horrified parents that a sixty year old man was driving completely naked with the windows down. While us and the several other officers that showed up appreciate the laughs this provided and eventually settled on just suggesting for you to cover up somewhat, please next time have at least a dark side window tint. No one wants to see that on a nice sunny day...

Surprising Motorists

It seems people out here believe that just because we are in the middle of one traffic stop that we are too busy to stop another vehicle for a speeding violation as well. This is not the case! several days ago people unwisely believed that because we were in the midst of writing out a citation for speeding on one vehicle that we wouldn't stop them as well, much to their surprise (and the dispatcher's i might add as she logged us as being on two traffic stops at once) i stepped out of the cruiser and flagged them down for the officer, we ended up having five cars stopped on the shoulder of the road that were waiting to be written for violations. On arrival back to the station at the end of shift there were several officers teasing us for being 'overachievers' i however simply looked at it as teaching the motoring public a lesson: just because we appear to be busy on a traffic stop does not mean that we are too busy to stop you as well.
Buckle up and drive safe folks, I'll be hitting the road more often this month!

Crossover #1

A friend of mine from another jurisdiction offered up an amusing story and suggested me to use it in my blog, i found it entertaining enough to use, enjoy.

I smelled weed as soon as I walked up to the car and told him to get out, and during the pat down, I found a bag of weed in the guy's pocket. 

Savy Criminal: ummm, I don't think these are my pants. 

Ofc: oh, who's are they?

SC: Umm, I don't know? Maybe my roommates, I just grabbed them to jump into the car and head to the store. We were pretty hungry.

Ofc: Interesting, Why don't you have a seat right here on the curb while I have a look through the car ok?

Ofc: Hey, is this your car?

SC:Yeah, of course it is. I didn't steal no car

Ofc: ok, just wanted to make sure you didn't grab your roommate's car with the pipe in the glovebox that was still smoking.

Idiot threw the pipe into the glove box when he saw my lights. It was lit when he threw it in, and when I opened the box, smoke came out. I wanted to laugh so bad it hurt. 



Thanks for the story! look forward to trying several more crossovers
