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

Citizen's arrest

Up +9 Down

Back in the 80's I drove a brightly colored Porsche 911. The town in which I lived was very small and tight knit at the time, and the Porsche stuck out like a sore thumb. The local Sheriff's department had been harassing me for weeks over ridiculous speeding tickets when I was pulled over for perhaps the fifteenth time. I had been watching my speedometer since I had noticed a cop behind and at most I was doing 2 mph over the speed limit. When the officer approached I told him that I was barely over the speed limit. He smirked, acknowledged that fact, and wrote me a ticket. Fed up to the point of screaming, I began following the cop as he drove down the road. Noticing that he was doing at least 10 mph over the limit, I began flashing my brights at him. Finally he pulled over, visibly agitated, and asked me what he could do for me. I told him that he had been speeding and that I was making a citizen's arrest. I called the police and enjoyed my victory as he fumed on the hood of his cruiser.
