I Fought the Law

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

Off-duty cops think they rule the road

Up +258 Down

When I was 17 I hadn't yet been alive long enough to have a healthy fear of police. I DID have a habit of giving other drivers the finger when they did something unnecessarily stupid that endangered me. One day I'm driving down a road going 45 or 50 in 45 - basically doing nothing wrong - this small pickup truck blots out of a parking lot in front of me forcing me to slam on my brakes and slide, and also scaring the shit out of me. I didn't hesitate to let my middle finger shine and let out plenty of curses that I only wished the other driver could hear. Suddenly the driver (now driving in front of me) hits his brakes and stops in the middle of the road, gets out and starts angrily walking towards my car. He didn't have a weapon so I basically figured I would sit there with the window up and then drive away when he was close enough to not get run over. He starts yelling for me to get out of the car, and I tell him to fuck the hell off. Then he slaps a police badge on my window and says "what do you think about that". I told him "I think it means you're a piece of shit for almost killing us both while also being a cop". After he keeps yelling for a minute about calling backup, I just tell him "fuck you, we can sort this shit it out in court then cause I havent done shit". He walked away cursing and yelling, got back in his car and drove off. Now that I'm 29 I can safely say that I was lucky I didnt get tazed at best.
