I Fought the Law

Jesus broke the law. So did George Washington. You did, too, and we want to hear about it.

Up +39 Down

When I was a teen I made my money street racing,(long before rice racers) and lost my license. I joined the Navy, lived overseas for a year during the Gulf War, and returned home to a new state. I picked up a new DL and bought a little pickup truck. The Navy then sent me BACK to the state I had all that history (outstanding warrants) in for a year training. On a roadtrip through the state to visit family, my female friend and I were traveling in a group of cars going about 15 over the limit. It was late at night, and she had stretched out to sleep with her head in my lap. Suddenly a cops appeared up ahead and the whole group was forced off the road into a parking lot to get ticketed for speeding. Just as I came to a stop, the cop shined his light into my windshield. My friend choose this time to raise her head up out of my lap, and wipe the drool off her face as she looked around. As I passed her my wallet and told her my ATM pin so she could throw my bail, the cop walked up, and saw my Gulf War Vet sticker on my truck. He peeked in to be sure my zipper was up, then asked if I was a Vet, I told him I was and he told me to get back on the road and drive slower. If he had run my plates/DL or name, I'd have gone to jail in some backwater
