funny (anti)cop story
Here in New Zealand, down in an area called Otago, there are long straight roads and nobody around...
A guy was going about his business and doing 5kms (that's 3mph) over the speed limit and a cop pulled him up ticketed him. He said to the cop "I don't believe this, you are giving me a $50 ticket for doing 5 k's over the limit?", the cop said "yup", so the motorist said to the cop "Well I'm an Occupational Health and Safety Inspector, and I'm fining you $180 for standing on the road without a safety vest on". However the cops in Otago have been having a bit more luck recently, it said on the news that they had caught a lot of people doing 160kms to 250kms, and even one at 330kms. |

I guy I know was a provincial Motor Vehicle Inspector. One winter evening, on the drive home, he was stopped by an RCMP constable, for speeding, about 10 kph over on a limited access highway. Cy thought the guy might let him off, but no, dice. When the constable was done, Cy asked for his citation book. The Mountie asked "Why?"
Cy said, "I'm writing you up for a non-functioning headlight." Take that!  Les

Bill, that cop is a punk. You can tell him that from a LA Cop. It is simply ridiculous.

I used to work for the local air pollution district here in Los Angeles, and i wrote the agency a ticket for having a non-functioning vapor recovery system on their gasoline dispenser. If you don't live in LA, its a system to recover the displaced gasoline vapors that get pushed out of the gas tank in your car as you fill it up.
I also wrote a ticket to the Internal Revenue Service, but that's another story.

LOL, the drunk Santas. I haven't heard. Maybe I should buy them all a drink for all the laughs they have given us.
Hi Leland. Yup I'm still around. Strange thing is when I had a proper job I used to spend hours on here and read every thread, even making multiple posting a day to proper their theories correct that I really don't know what I'm talkin' about. Now that I've got lots of spare time I'm only spending half an hour a day... How's that new (not that new I guess) job going as a supa dupa secret agent? |
