I’ve had cops be complete assholes and then turn around after I’m super charming and nice, and realize I’m not doing whatever they thought I was or something.
Example:
I had just pulled into my friends driveway, and a police officer followed me, I parked, shut the car off, and got out when he turned the lights on.
Officer: GET THE FUCK BACK IN THE CAR!
Me: Whoa ok. [put my hands up and got back in car]
Officer: where are you going in a rush!? do you live here!? where are you coming from?! what are you doing?!
Me: no where. i was going here to my friends house. i’m coming from work. [was going like 32 in a 30, and didn’t slow down going over tracks]
officer: license and registration and insurance!!
me: here, i’m honestly not sure where my insurance card is though.
officer: so who lives here?
me: [says names]
officer: so you don’t live here?
me: no sir. i live in blasdell. [we’re in angola]
officer: do me a favor and hit your brakes [looks at lights] ok now right turn singal, ok now left. ok put your tail lights on. ok yeah you def. have something screwed up going on here.
me: [explains why]
officer: ooooh alright, get that fixed. whens the last time you got a ticket?
me: uh… like 3 weeks ago?
officer: is it outstanding? have you ever had your license suspended?
me: uh well it’s outstanding right now, i missed court so i’m not sure about anything.
officer: ok stay here.
[comes back]
officer: ok have a nice night, get that lighting issue fixed!
me: thank you! have a WONDERFUL night too.
