I Fought the Law

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

One night four years ago, I was the designated driver for a group of friends. A second sober friend turned up, so I decided to duck out. When I got to my car I noticed a cop parked not far away. He was watching me. Being as I was sober, I ignored him. I use a wheelchair during due to a birth defect, but I can still walk. I do have a hardcore limp that makes me look like a drunk penguin. The cop watched me get out of my chair, load it into my Blazer and then get in and drive away. He pulled me over a block away, and the first thing he said was “Were you drinking tonight? You were walking a bit funny back there.” All I could do was stare, and then I just started to laugh. He got defensive and asked what was so funny. I just pointed to my chair and to my parking sticker. At this point he looked really horrified. I couldn’t help myself, so I asked if I should get out and try walking a straight line. He just said no, and left.
