Re: Unusal confrontation with a police officer.
Just after I got married I was in Baton Rouge LA helping my father in law move my sister in law. he rents a u-haul and tells me to drive his car. This would be a new cherry red,convertible Porsche Boxster. So there we are driving down I-10 doing 55mph(U-haul governed) my father in law the 50+ yr old Dr. driving a u-haul and me the 26 yr old driving the Boxster. Two La HP pull up behind us trailing for about 5 miles. I am thinking here we go I am gonna get pulled for screwing around in a car way out of my price range. New father in law will be pissed at me for getting a ticket in his car. The HP proceed to box in my father in law and pull him over. I pull to the front of the lead HP and get out to find out why the hell they would pull over him instead of me. They tell me I looked like I was a cop or in the military(which I am) and that there have been alot of thiefs of u-hauls lately. Now I ask you which looks more out of place, well dress older guy in a u-haul or a 26 yr old kid in a 50K dollar car? never did figure that one out.

<br /><br /> I'm enjoying this thread, we are only trying to do what is expected of us. Sometimes, with us being human, and making mistakes also, it does provide some funny, and memerable stories.
