I Fought the Law

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

Every small town has that one cop that is constantly harassing that one teenager. That teenager happened to be me. The cop will remain nameless. Being the small town kids that we were we raised our fair share of hell, but nothing so extreme as breaking windows, or spray painting buildings. Hell, we never even shot a sign in the woods. All hell raising aside I was a genuinely good kid; varsity athlete with straight A's. As the years progressed this guy just couldn't hook me on anything... Because there was nothing to hook. When I was 17 I was walking down the street late one night, after cerfew, smoking a cigarette. And guess who showed up? Knowing that I wasn't of age he stops me and has this "I got you now" look written all over his face; all the while he doesn't realize the ace up my sleeve. He asked me how old I was, so I told him. Without checking my ID he proceeds to issue me an MIP, handcuffs me, and takes me to the station for processing. We go inside and he hands the booking guy all the stuff and then uncuffs me (it is a small town after all). A few seconds after that the booking officer looks back at him with a blank look of disbelief and asks him point blank "Are you fuckin kidding me?". The booking officer promptly ripped up every piece of paper in his hands. As he hands me back my ID he looks at me and says "Happy birthday, the statute of limitations on your charges ran out about 5 minutes ago." I turn to the cop and gave a little smile and turned to walk out the door. As I left the room I could hear everyone burst into hysterics. That was four years ago and this cop who was always on my case hasn't so much as spoken to me since.
