The officer asked for her DL - she couldn't find it. This could have been a bad story because frankly, she's a bone head. A polite bonehead, but a bonehead none the less. However, the officer was polite, patient, and understanding. He took the info, ran her record and plates (as well he should), and sent her on her way with a few helpful pointers on safety.
As I said in the other thread today - I have always taught my kids that the police are there to protect us and we go to them when we need help. I wondered if that was a mistake. Ironically, my question was answered about 1hour after I posted. Kudos to the officer from Grafton Wisconsin for not making a liar out of me!  |
Thanks for posting that. It's a good thing she wasn't stopped by a "too-much-testosterone", tailored "uniforms-to-show-off-my-big-muscles type of officer known to work in Dans neighborhood, she probably would have gotten tazed
