Real life police stories...
A woman was pulled over for speeding by a California Highway Patrol
motorcycle officer. When he walked up to her window and opened his
ticket book she said: "I bet you're going to sell me a ticket to the
Highway Patrolman's Ball." He replied "No, highway patrolmen don't have
balls."
There followed a moment of silence while she smiled and he realized what
he'd said. He then closed his book, got back on his motorcycle and left.
**********************************************************************
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that
measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later
received in the mail a ticket for $40, and a photo of his car. Instead of
payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days
later, he received a letter from the police department that contained
another picture, of handcuffs.
**********************************************************************
A police officer had a perfect hiding place for watching for speeders.
But one day, everyone was under the speed limit, the officer found the
problem:
A 10 year old boy was standing on the side of the road with a huge hand
painted sign which said "RADAR TRAP AHEAD." A little more investigative
work led the officer to the boy's accomplice, another boy about 100 yards
beyond the radar trap with a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket at his
feet, full of cash.
