I Fought the Law

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

Tools of the People

There were some really unlikeable cops where I used to live. Yet, I have only gotten one ticket. An unreasonable sum for a single out headlight after the cop kept me for an hour. Apparently I made the mistake of accurately explaining why there was an advanced chemistry book in my car, and responded to his "You think you're better than me?" face with my "Well, duh," face. (Not that I intended to.) Well, about a month later, I was eating at a sub shop near close. That same cop (too fat to not recognize) comes in, in uniform, and orders the same thing I had, only to find out I got the last of the appropriate meat. Well, I paid for my sandwich, and was going to walk out the door when the guy said, "Hey kid, give me that sandwich, I'll pay you." I politely said no, and left. Apparently there was no other crime going on, because the pig tried to tail me. I responded by driving perfectly, yet frustratingly slow. The tool just kept on. Well, I was closer to a friends house, and didn't really want this guy knowing where I live, so I pulled in to his... next door neighbors' house. I ate my sandwich and read a book until he left. Much later, I heard from my friend that his neighbors (whom I hated) had been deported. Apparently Officer Baldy had tried the 'stakeout my house on a slow day' strategy, and caught the Mexican Horde up to no good. Used like a ragged oil cloth, I think I'll stand by that "Well, duh," officer.
