RE: Cop Stories!! LONG ONE FOLKS...Canuck read if you intent on visiting texas once day.



I have a good one for the canucks that will ever visit Texas (and as my
first official ticket in 8 years, and my first in texas)I am leaving work,
in Plano (north of dallas) going to the drive thru bank at the corner of the
street, I was in my greeen 280ce mercedes at the time, and I was going
pretty fast (~ 60 MPH, not really paying attention to dial but traffic)
I get to the corner and turn into the bank at the corner, and get in line
for my deposit of the paycheck. Once this done, I put the car in drive and
start pulling out of the bank stall as I notice a cop behind me (they always
seem to sneak up on me but I disgress) I shrug it off and make my way back
to the road, as I wait on the edge of the road I notice the cop did not stop
at the bank stall, but was quietly sitting behind me.. Odd I though... and
started back unto the road... as soon as I did so, the cop turned on lights
siren and all his mighty noise shit on... OHOH.. .. So I turn the corner
back again into the bank's area (we canadian are taught to get off the road
when a cop lights you up) but I pull into the parking area by the curb in
front of the bank and park my arse.. drop my window shut the engine off and
wait.... 2 mins later the cop comeout the car,hes about 25, looking nervous
and all shit ready to shoot my head, (revolver in hand by side of leg) ....
Now I am pissing in my pants.. canuck in texas shot for speeding in Plano I
was imagining the headline news already.... the idiot, stand right at my
rear bumper and screams at me.. Sir do you reckon (love that word..) you
were speeding on plano road? , now being wise enough to hold both id and
drivers license in hands outstreched the window I crane my head backwards to
talk back to him... Officer sir, No I cannot say I honestly was not looking
at my speed dial as I was driving. (Ill admit to speeding when a cop holds a
gun in hand any day.. fsk that!) so he repeats Sir! where you speeding at
62MPH in a 55MPH Speed zone? ... for a moment I think to myself he did not
hear me, so I raise my voice and project my reply once more.. No Sir
officer, I did not realize I was speeding as I was not looking at my dial,
but if you say I did, then it must be so, (mind you I am still half streched
out the window and thinking of opening my door.. but then realize I was in
texas and I could get shot.. and stick to hanging out my window holding both
paperwork..) and the rookie once again repeats his question in a third and
different way... Sir, where you speeding at 62MPH in a 55MPH Zone? .. Now I
am thinking this guy is deaf, dumb, or so fsken nervous about this whole
situation his brain has yet to kick in... so I changed my reply.. Officer
Sir, I can barely hear you sir over the traffic noise, I am a newly moved
Canadian citizen, and I admit to the speeding offence you just told me I
did.
.. incredibly the instant I said canadian.. he put his 45 away and walked up
to the window.. grinning.. Cana-diane eh? (why do american insist on
imitating the Eh! we have in our conversional language? I will never know)
he grabs my papers, check teh computer and issues a 125$ ticket(foudn teh
price later at court house), as he gives it back to me, I asked what am I
supposed to do whith it Sir..who do I pay... (in Quebec, when a cop issues a
ticket, the decision is final, the price tag is on the ticket, so he leans
on the window still and goes to explain in great lengh about the judiciary
system, and how I can get off the hook by entering a plea of guilty but
being my first offence to get placed on probabtion for 6 months and it would
not get on my record if I got no other ticket during that time... Thank you
sir... and he left....

weird... just weird... from almost gunpoint deaf cop to most pleasent cop I
met in a 3 mins time lapse...

I've always found that a heavy dose of "Yessir","Nosir" and "I'm sorry
sir" works well here in Oklahoma. That has got me out of a lot of jams,
even out of small town that are notorious for having "rambo" cops.
