I Fought the Law

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

All my friends, know the Lowrider

Up +53 Down

So the other night I was about to go to a homegirl's party at her house about 20 min away. I wasn't in the mood to drink or get to crazy so I decided to drive myself so I could leave when I was ready instead of waiting for everyone else. At this point its probably important to note that I drive a Lowrider Truck so I'm used to getting extra scrutiny from the cops. So I'm on the road out of my neighborhood, and I see a cop driving the other way bust a U and start following me. I saw he was following me and I knew I was about to be pulled over despite driving carefully, because thats just the way it works when you're a lowrider. So I pull into a gas station, and the cop comes up to my window and tells me immediately "I'm not trying to give you a ticket, you're only gonna get a warning but you were driving a little fast on the road back there" I hand him all my stuff, and began thinking it was a little strange that he told me right off the bat that he wasn't going to ticket me. He came back gave me all my stuff, then looked at me and said "Did you do all the work on this truck yourself?" I was caught completely off guard, but spent the next twenty minutes talking to this upper-class looking Anglo cop about lowriders, which was a hell of a lot longer than it took him to take care of the "warning" business. So I basically got pulled over so this cop could ask me about my truck, but not in a racially profiled way. I guess theres a first time for everything!
