Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

Consider this as a public service and warning to Ryan and other youngsters: 1. Never have a Halloween Party in a cemetary with 50 others teens. 2. Never stowe away in brother's van on way to Watkins Glenn. 3. Don't talk back to Police Officer even if you ARE right or laugh at him. 4. Never hang wet undergarments from car mirror after a dip in swimming hole. 5. If you are going 35 in a 30, wandering all over the road singing Mustang Sally, bring a young child with you and say you were singing to them. 6. If you are necking up at 'twin trees' don't bring beer or wine. 7. When the police officer asks "why were you driving so fast", don't tell him you're drying your nails. These simple rules might just keep you out of trouble with the law.

More later.

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

I'm Like TPD, usually the one hearing the stories. I took my kids to the fair this last summer. I stopped at a store to get the baby some milk on the way home. I noticed that one of my headlights was out. As soon as I left the store I passed a local cop. I just knew he was gonna stop me. Sure enough he pulled over. I pulled into the courthouse square and got everything ready for him. He of course asked for my paperwork and went back to his car. Upon coming back to mine I handed him my police id to account for the pistol in the trunk. He asked "You work for Teague?" to which I replied yes. He says "I'm sorry" I say no problem sir, you're just doing your job. His smartass reply was "No, I ain't sorry I stopped you, I am sorry you work for them" Had it not been for my children I think I would have went to jail that night. Back when I was around 15-16 I used to pull out my Mustang for a little fun. It had a very hot 302 with straight headers. I would usually terrorize the neighborhood and then roll it back into the shop and close/lock the doors. Cops never did catch me doing it. They always asked if I seen anybody cuz you KNOW we had to sit on the porch and laugh at them. We did the same type of stuff in my truck. We would race down the main drag, easily hitting 110 on a street marked at 35. The cops could only stop one of us so I just never lifted. I always came back home through the woods and locked it up. Now I remember why I have to deal with all of the hardheads and why they are so hard to catch

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

Barracuda’s breakfast of Mustangs! running down a local street coming to an intersection, the light changed just as I was getting there. Dropped to 3rd and open the rear barrels, open headers singing, 3 officers, one in a parkning lot and two at the intersection. Cut off the ignition coast into parking lot they of course they surround me! First officer ask's why I ran the light, I told him I did not want to stop. well I was in my 1965 formula sport Barracuda, the older officers new what it was, the young guy only wanted to right up this and that, one of them finally said shut up he's driving a Barracuda! Opened the y hood and let them all have a good look! Yes sir and the truth goes a long way

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

LadyFish, just an addendum to your #1 about halloween parties in cemetaries. As a rule of thumb, it is probably not a good idea to ride around town after the party with fake tombstones (fairly real looking) in the back of the truck..... Friend did that one. Then again, I married a cop's daughter. I went in the night I proposed and made sue he didn't have his gun on hime when we broke the news...

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

Oh I see Ladyfish been to Watkins Glenn. Let me guess you did not partake in any of the,,, uh ,, extracuricular activity

What a party that place was. To add to the list. # 1 Never ride down the road with a stuffed dummy on the back of your motorcycle and toss it off in heavy traffic just for kicks. The law dont take a shine to that sort of thing.

# 2 Never ride around with a truck load of teens with a boxing glove tied to a broom handle, knocking other kids of their bicycles, That dont go over to well either.

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

One more, This is a story I heard my dad tell. It happend when he was younger, maybe 17-20years old Him and his girlfriend (my mom now) and a bunch of other people where going to a concert. They took two cars and they where drinking in both cars, My dad was following his buddy and then they got seperated on the highway. My dad saw a cop put the blues on his buddy who was up the road, my dad stoped in the breakdown lann about 30yards behind the cop and his friend, he sat there for a while, worrying because he knew they had a bunch of beer in the car and where drinking. After about 10 minetts he drove off. As it turns out, The cop didn't arrest them in the car for open beers, he made then open them and dump then out, inside the car

He had them poor everything left in the 30pack on the floor is his car, after every beer was opend and dumped the cop let then go to the concert. I'll bet the car still smells like stale beer

Was that 1970 at Watkins Glen?

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

I don't know where Watkins Glen is, but 1970 was to long ago for it to be the same thing. My dad was born in 1958 so in 1970 he would have only been like 12years old.

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

I was 17 years old and two friends and myself went on a boar hunting trip up north. My friend had a friend that was a manager of a new apartment complex which was only 20% occupied. He told us we could stop there on the way up and stay the night in a vacant apt. When I woke up the next day (about 11:00), I looked out the window and to my surprise I had a view of an outdoor high school swimming pool. Well it must have been the girls swim team period. So to get a better view I got the bright idea to use the scope on my rifle, about the same time some blue haired lady came walking by. One hour later I'm sitting in the pokey trying to explain myself. Unfortunately this is just one of many dumb things I did growing up.

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

When I first got married a few of us were framing house's for a living. We had the foundation in on one lot and had just put on the first floor deck when mother nature played a trick on us. It rained heavy for a day and a half and then we had a quick freeze over the weekend. When we got back to the house the basement had over 3 feet of ice in it and we were afraid the walls might crack from expansion. So we closed off the stairhole and ran some salamander heaters to get it to thaw. Since I lived the closest I got the job of going out in the middle of the night and filling the heaters with kero. I went out the first night about 1 AM and went down and proceeded to fill the heaters. When I came back up and stuck my head up through deck there were spotlights on me and three revolvers pointed at me. Someone called the law and said I was steeling lumber. I never heard a thing over the roar of the heaters. I told the cops what I was doing but they did not buy it. I tried to unlock the job trailer but my key would not work

. I asked the cops how much lumber did they think I could cart off with my 72 Duster??? They still did not buy it

Well after about an hour in the back of a police car the owner of the home we were building was finally contacted confirmed my story and they finally left me go home.

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

Awhile back was at a county fair with wife and kids. Just walking along, eyeballing this and that. Came upon a senior Sheriff with a couple of his rookies. I walked up to the senior cop, eyeballed his gun. I remarked-"hey, cool gun, can I hold it?" Rookies eyes real big, wifes eyes rolling--senior cop had cold steel in his glare at me. Just kidding says me--realizing how foolish it was to screw with this guy. All chuckled it off. Wheeeww. Never do that again.

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

I was 18 coming home from an 18 and over bar that served beer.But the leagal drinking age was 21. I was very drunk and had an open 12pk in my car. Going down the highway i swerved. I caught myself and looked in my rearview mirror. Sure enough a cop was behind me. The police booking station was right on the side of the highway and we were approaching it. As I came up to the station the cop hit his lights and pulled me over on the onramp to the station. i figure I'm definately going to jail. After all I am already there. He pulls me out of the car and gives me some sobriety checks. Then looks through my car and finds the open 12pk. He tells me to have a seat in my car and he would be right back. He comes back about 5 minutes later and tells me to put my 12pk in my trunk. he didnt want to see it. So I did. Then he tells me to drive straight home and he did not want to see me again. And he didnt!!!!!!!!!

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

How about 103 mph. in a 70 mph. Better yet in a one ton pick-up. Flat footed for miles. Trooper asked whats the hurry? I asked was that you weaving in and out of traffic behind me? He said yes. He said he was trying to catch me for miles. I told him he had a big arm on him and Semper Fi. I got told to slow down. SIR yes SIR Semper Fi.

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

I went to the store the other day and when I came out, there was a city cop writing out a parking ticket. I went up to him and said, "Come on, buddy, how about giving a guy a break?" He ignored me and continued writing the ticket, so I called him a Nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a piece of horse ****. He put that one on the windshield with the first and then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote. I didn't give a sh$t! My car was parked around the corner.

ehenry · Jan 26, 2004

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

I had a Mississippi State Trooper pull me over once for speeding. While he was writing the ticket he was standing in between his car and my truck. I was guilty as sin. ANYWAY, while he was writing the ticket his car jumped in drive and started coming at him. His back was to his car and I was leaning on the gate of my truck. I reached out and grabbed him by the arm and tried to pullhim out of the way. Ofcourse he though I was trying to jump him or something and he went for his gun. I yelled that his car was fixing to hit him and then he threw all his stuff down and dove out of the way. It really screwed his car up when it his the back of my truck. To make this short I got out of the ticket for trying the get him out of the way and I also got an apology from him about going for him going for his gun.

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

alot of people have got to be really holding back here - LOL i have one that always stood out in my mind i was young,dumb,etc. deerhunting. i tried to pick off a running buck between 2 does at @ 50yds i guess. i shot too far ahead of the buck and hit the doe in front of him - in the back leg. i was scared, but thought i could not leave the doe to slowly die, so i finished her off. i didn't want to leave it there, so i thought i would just take it down the backroad to a guy who worked in the mill with me, and avoid hauling a deer out of season all the way home in the back of the pickup truck. of all things, there was a roadblock out in the backwoods between nowhere & the next stop sign. i was sweating bullets, just waiting on the officer to glance into the back, but he just wanted to see my license. i had on some cotton gloves, and in disbelief of my luck, i whipped off the glove, pulled my wallet out and then noticed the look of horror on the officer's face! my hand was bloody from field dressing the deer! then he started looking around, saw the deer and the game warden was called up. i think they believed my story, as they could see the broken leg, but i still had to sit in jail a few hrs until a friend bailed me out. luckily, i didn't lose my pop's truck & gun. and at least the sheriffs' home for teens got the venison

Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.

There are plenty that I could tell on myself, but the one that stands out in my mind happened to a friend of mine. It's about 1973 in a small Southern town...my friend and a buddy are just driving around town looking for a party...and smoking a joint...talking about how they need to be cool with it so they don't get busted. Sure enough, minutes later he looks in the rear view mirror...and sees a cop with his blue lights on! They hurriedly stash the dope and roll the windows down to clear the smoke...pull over to the side of the road...and my friend starts walking to the back of the car while fumbling for his license. The police officer slowly pulls alongside...looks at my friend real hard, and keeps on going, because...he is leading a funeral procession! It's been thirty years, but we still get a laugh out of that one.
