Quit While You’re Ahead
I was working a DUI checkpoint and sometimes officers tended to be forgiving and let people go if they didn’t have their driver’s license on them. On this day, a man was sent into the pit (where officers send the cars of those with violations) because he didn’t have his license on him. He claimed he was on his way home from the store (his story checked out due to the groceries in his car).
We were about to let him go when he tells us he remembers his drivers license number, he gives it to us, it comes back with a warrant for his arrest, and now we HAVE to search his car. We find speed and a pipe to smoke it out of, and we bust him for that…piece of advice: quit when you’re ahead… (Mizfit_Toyz)
Grumpy Old Men
I pulled a guy for an expired registration. I get to the window and see that the guy is damn near 80 years old, so my first thought is “old guy just forgot, I’ll remind him and send him on his way.”
He immediately greets me with, “what the f*** do you want!?” (tangoreddit)
Just Keep Walking!
My ex’s dad was a reservist and one night they were busy patrolling around town. Guy A looked shady so they pulled over and talked to the guy. So along comes Guy B and gets all up in their faces and looking what they’re doing eventually they tell him to stand against the wall and search him. They found meth and weed on him. Guy B could’ve literally just walked past them and never got involved. (cyclingmaniac5)
