NYPD Police Officer vs. New York Lawyer

A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a NYC Police Officer. He thinks that he is smarter than the Police Officer because he is a lawyer and is certain that he has a better education than any Police Officer. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Police Officers expense.

 

The Police Officer says," License and registration, please."

 

"What for?" says the lawyer.

 

The Police Officer says, "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."

 

Then the lawyer says, "I slowed down and no one was coming."

 

"You still didn't come to a complete stop”, Says the Police Officer.  “License and registration, please".

 

The lawyer says, "What's the difference?"

 

"The difference is you have to come to complete stop, that's the law.

 

License and registration, please!" says the Police Officer.

 

Lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I'll give you my license and registration; and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket."

 

"That sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir," the Police Officer says.

 

At this point, the Police Officer  takes out his nightstick and starts beating the ever-loving shit out of the lawyer and says, "Do you want me to stop  or just slow down?

POLICE STORY
In most of the northern states, there is a policy of checking on any stalled vehicle on the highway when the temperatures drop down to single digits or below. About 3 AM, one very cold morning, a state police officer responded to a call. There was a car off the shoulder of the road outside Casper, WY. He located the car, stuck in deep snow, and with the engine still running.
 
Pulling in behind the car with his emergency lights on, the officer walked to the driver's door to find an older man passed out behind the wheel with a nearly empty vodka bottle on the seat beside him. The driver came awake when the officer tapped on the window. Seeing the rotating lights in his rearview mirror, and the state policeman standing next to his car, the man panicked. He jerked the gearshift into 'drive' and hit the gas.
 
The car's speedometer was showing 20-30-40 and then 50 mph, but it was still stuck in the snow, wheels spinning. The policeman, having a sense of humor, began running in place next to the speeding, but still stationary car. The driver was totally freaked, thinking the officer was actually keeping up with him. This goes on for about 30 seconds, then the officer yelled at the man to 'Pull over!' The man obeyed, turned his wheel and stopped the engine. Needless to say, the man from Casper was arrested, and is probably still shaking his head over the state patrolman who could run 50 miles per hour. Who said cops don't have a sense of humor?

What some Police would like you to know.

Your 5 year old kid getting pushed down by another 5 year old kid is NOT a police matter; talk to the other kid's parents, not the police.

 

If your kid won't do his homework or do his chores, 911 is not the answer.

 

If a cop causes a car accident we usually get a ticket, and sometimes we get suspended. When is the last time you got 3 days off (without pay) for rear-ending a guy at Wal-Mart?

 

If you think you can fan all the pot smoke out of the car before we smell it, good luck.

 

We know you've had more than two beers. When I've had two beers, I didn't hit six parked cars, drive my car through the front doors of a Toys-R-Us, pee my pants or pass out at a traffic light.

 

When you see an emergency vehicle behind you with its lights and sirens on, pull to the RIGHT, and stop. We are usually required to pass cars on the left.

 

When you're driving in the fast lane and you see a cop behind you, don't go 5 MPH under the speed limit. We are not impressed by how safe of a driver you can be, we're trying to go help someone (or catch that guy in the SUV that just cut you off). Safely move over and let us pass please.

 

If you get a warning instead of a ticket from a motorcycle cop, go buy a lottery ticket, because you've already beaten the odds.

 

When you see an officer conducting a traffic stop, or with a suspect in handcuffs, it is generally not a good idea to approach him and ask for directions. If you do, don't expect the officer to be nice when he tells you to get lost, and don't expect the officer to take the time to explain.

 

Here's how to get out of a ticket. Don't break the law.

 

If you drive a piece of crap, that is why you're getting pulled over.

 

In one week I pulled over 10 cars for minor traffic violations. 5 out of 10 had no vehicle insurance. 3 out of 10 had suspended driver's licenses. 2 out of 10 had warrants. 1 out of 10 had felony warrants. 1 was a known sex offender with his 12 year old niece in the car without her mother’s knowledge.

 

If you've just been pulled over doing 70 in a 35, do not greet the officer with "what seems to be the problem, officer."

 

We get coffee breaks too, and sometimes we run into stores and do some shopping during them.

 

When you're the victim of a burglary, take the time you spend waiting for the officer to find the model number and the serial number of the stuff that was taken.

 

Some cops are just jerks, but take heart in the fact that other cops don't like them either.

 

If it's nighttime and you're driving a vehicle with tinted windows and I pull you over, it's not because of your skin color. I usually can't tell if the vehicle even has a driver until the windows rolled down.

 

Every time you hear on the news about people running away from a crazed gunman, someone's son or daughter in a police uniform is running TOWARD that crazed gunman.

 

Yes, it's true; cops usually don't give other cops tickets. Think of it as an employee discount, perk or benefit. Other cops are family and you wouldn't give your brother a ticket if you were a cop either.

 

If your local police agency has a helicopter, everyone knows it's loud and annoying, but did you know it can cover the same area as 20 patrol officers and safely chase criminals that are driving 90 MPH through city streets. Many times the guy has no idea it's there and slows down.

 

Police work is….writing reports.

 

If you rob a gas station you're only going to get about $100, but I get to see a K9 dog use your arm as a chew toy. For all I care you can keep the $100.

 

In one year of patrol work in a large city, only about ten minutes would be cool enough to be on the television show Cops.

 

Every traffic stop could end in gunfire, but we have to be polite and professional until that time.

 

I've taken about the same amount of men and women to jail for domestic violence, so NO it's not always the man.

 

People love fire fighters.

 

If the light was yellow, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

 

Cops know you pay taxes and that your taxes pay cops' salaries. Cops also pay taxes, which also pay cops' salaries so, hey, this traffic stop is on me. Now sign here; press hard. There are four copies.

____________________

The Citation

A motorcycle officer stops a man for running a red light. The guy is a real jerk and comes running back to the motor officer.

 

The violator demands to know why he is being harassed by the Gestapo! So the officer calmly tells him of the red light violation. 

 

The "Motorist" instantly goes on a tirade questioning the officer's ancestry, sexual orientation, etc., in rather explicit terms. 

 

The officer, being a professional, takes it all in stride.

 

The tirade goes on without the cop saying anything.  When he gets done with writing the citation he puts an "AH" in the lower right corner of the narrative portion of the citation.  He then hands it to the "Violator" for his signature.

 

The guy signs the cite angrily tearing the paper, and when presented his copy points to the "AH" and demands to know what it stands for. 

 

The officer then removes his mirror sunglasses, gets in the middle of the guys face and says, "That's so when we go to court, I'll remember you're an Asshole!"

 

Three months later they are in court. The "Violator" has such a bad record he is about to lose his license and has hired an attorney to represent him.  

 

On the stand the officer testifies to seeing the man run the red light.  Under cross examination the defense attorney asks, "Officer, is this a reasonable facsimile of the citation you issued my client?"

 

The Officer responds, "Yes sir, this is the defendant's copy, his signature and mine, same number at the top." 

 

The Attorney says, "Officer, is there any particular marking or notation on this citation you don't normally make?"

 

The Officer says, "Yes sir, in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an 'AH , underlined.'"

 

The Attorney asks, "What does the AH stand for, officer?"
The Officer replies, "Aggressive and Hostile Sir!"
The Attorney says, "Aggressive and hostile?"
The Officer says, "Yes Sir."
The Attorney says, "Officer....... Are you sure it doesn't stand for Asshole?"
The Officer says, "Well Sir, You obviously know your client better than I do!"

"Best Comeback" line by a Police Officer

If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the policeman's credibility....

Q: "Officer -- did you see my client fleeing the scene?"
A: "No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away."

Q: "Officer -- who provided this description?"
A: "The officer who responded to the scene."

Q: "A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?"
A: "Yes, sir.  With my life."

Q: "With your life?  Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?"
A: "Yes sir, we do!"

Q: "And do you have a locker in the room?"
A: "Yes sir, I do."

Q: "And do you have a lock on your locker?"
A: "Yes sir."

Q: "Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?"
A: "You see, sir -- we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room."

The courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's "Best Comeback" line -- and we think he'll win.

Great Answer from P.O.

Recently, a California website ran an e-mail forum (a question and answer exchange) where the topic was "Policing the Community."

One of the civilian email participants posed the following question: "I would like to know how it is possible for police officers to continually harass people and get away with it?"

From the "other side" (the law enforcement side) a cool cop with a sense of humor replied:  It is not easy. In
California we average one cop for every 2,000 people. About 60% of those cops are on patrol, where we do most of the harassing. One-fifth of that 60% are on duty at any given moment and are available for harassing people. So, one cop is responsible for harassing about 10,000 residents. When you toss in the commercial, business and tourist locations that attract people from other areas, sometimes you have a situation where a single cop is responsible for harassing 20,000 or more people each day.

A ten-hour shift runs 36,000 seconds. This gives a cop one second to harass a person, and three-fourths of a second to eat a donut AND then find a new person to harass. This is not an easy task. Most cops are not up to it, day in and day out. It is just too tiring. What we do is utilize some tools to help us narrow down those people which we harass. They are as follows:

PHONE:
People will call us up and point out things that cause us to focus on a person for special harassment. "My neighbor is beating his wife" is a code phrase we use. Then we come out and give special harassment. Another popular one on a weeknight is, "The kids next door are having a loud party."

CARS:
We have special cops assigned to harass people who drive. They like to harass the drivers of fast cars, cars blasting music, cars with expired registration stickers and the like. It is lots of fun when you pick them out of traffic for nothing more obvious than running a red light.  Sometimes you get to really heap the harassment on when you find they have drugs in the car, are driving drunk, or they have an outstanding warrant.

RUNNERS:
Some people take off running just at the sight of a police officer.  Nothing is quite as satisfying as running after them like a beagle on the scent of a bunny. When you catch them you can harass them for hours.

CODES:
When you can think of nothing else to do, there are books that give ideas for reasons to harass folks. They are called "Codes" Penal, Vehicle, Health and Safety, Business and Professional Codes, to name a few. They spell out all sorts of things for which you can really mess with people.

After you read the code, you can just drive around for a while until you find someone violating one of these listed offenses and harass them. Just last week I saw a guy smash a car window. Well, the code says that is not allowed. That meant I got permission to harass this guy. It is a pretty cool system that we have set up, and it works pretty well.

We seem to have a never-ending supply of folks to harass. And we get away with it. Why? Because the good citizens who pay the tab actually like the fact that we keep the streets safe for them. Next time you are in my town, give me a single finger wave. That will be a signal that you wish for me to take a little closer look at you, and then maybe I'll find a reason to harass YOU.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Leave it to the Mounties
The following news story appeared in a recent edition of Canada's "Globe and Mail".

In most Canadian provinces, police forces have a policy of checking on any stalled vehicle on the highway when the temperatures drop into the single digits or below. One morning in March, about 3:00 a.m., RCMP Constable Bill Wisen was alerted to respond to such a call. A car was parked off the shoulder in sub-freezing temperatures on the Trans Canada Highway outside of Medicine Hat, Alberta.

Constable Wisen located the car, its engine still running, stuck in deep snow alongside the highway. Pulling in behind it with his emergency lights on, he walked to the driver's door to find a man passed out behind the wheel and a near empty bottle of vodka on the seat beside him. The officer tapped on the window and the driver woke up. Seeing the flashing lights in his rear view mirror and a Mountie Constable standing next to his car, the man panicked. He jerked the gearshift into drive and hit the gas. The car's speedometer was showing 20-30-40 then 50 kph, but the vehicle was still stuck in the snow, wheels madly spinning. Constable Wisen, having a sense of humor, began running on the spot next to the "speeding" but still stationary car. The driver was totally freaked out, thinking the officer was actually keeping  up with him. The "race" went on for about 20 seconds, then Constable Wisen yelled at the man, ordering him to "Pull over." The man obeyed, took his foot off the gas pedal, turned his wheels and stopped the engine. Once out of the car, the drunken driver asked about the RCMP's special training and just how the Constable could run 50 kph..

The man, Mr. Robert Duport of Medicine Hat, was arrested for driving under the influence, still believing that an RCMP Constable had outrun his car.

True Reports 

The following were taken off of actual police car videos around the country.

"Relax; the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch out after you wear them awhile."

"Take your hands off the car, and I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document."

"If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

"Can you run faster than 1,200 feet per second? In case you didn't know, that is the average speed of a 9mm bullet fired from my gun."

"So you don't know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?"

"Yes, Sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh ... did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?"

"Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."

"The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"

"Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy, and step in monkey do-do."

"Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife will get a toaster oven."

"In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC."

"Just how big were those two beers?"

"No sir we don't have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we want."

"I'm glad to hear the Chief of Police is a good personal friend of yours. At least you know someone who can post your bail."

And the best one

"You didn't think we gave pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't. Sign here.

____________________

Husband and Wife

The officer says, "I clocked you at 80 mile per hour, sir." The driver says, "Gee, officer, I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar needs calibrating." Not looking up from her knitting the wife says sweetly from the passenger seat, "Now don't be silly, dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control."
As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, "Can't you keep your mouth shut for once?" The wife smiles demurely and says, " You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did." As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, "Darn it, woman, can't you keep your mouth shut. The officer frowns and! says, "And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine." The driver says, "Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket." The wife says," Now, dear, you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving." And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver turns to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T YOU SHUT THE HELL UP??" The officer looks over at the woman and asks, "Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?" "Oh, heavens no, officer. Only when he's been drinking."

Cop Talk
"Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch out after you wear them awhile."

"Take your hands off the car, and I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document."
 
"If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

"Can you run faster than 1,200 feet per second?  In case you didn't  know, that is the average speed of a 9 mm bullet fired from my gun."

"So you don't know how fast you were going?  I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?"

"Yes, Sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help.....Oh.....did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?"

"Warning!?  You want a warning?  O.K., I'm warning you not to do that again, or I'll give you another ticket."


"The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"

"Fair?  You want me to be fair?  Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on carnival rides, eat cotton candy, and step in monkey poop."

"Yeah, we have a quota.  In fact, two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."
 
"In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC."

 "Just how big were those two beers?"

  "I'm glad to hear the Chief of Police is a good personal friend of yours........At least you know someone who can post your bail."

"You didn't think we gave tickets to pretty women?.........You're right, we don't.........Sign here."

His Holiness

After getting all of Pope John Paul's luggage loaded into the limo (and he doesn't travel light), the driver notices that the Pope is still standing on the curb.

"Excuse me, Your Holiness," says the driver, "Would you please take your seat so we can leave?"

"Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope, "they never let me drive at the Vatican, and I'd really like to drive today."

"I'm sorry but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job! And what if something should happen?" protests the driver, wishing he'd never gone to work that morning.

"There might be something extra in it for you," says the Pope.

Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 105 mph.

"Please slow down, Your Holiness!!!" pleads the worried driver, but the

Pope keeps! the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens.

"Oh, dear God, I'm gonna lose my license," moans the driver.

The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio. "I need to talk to the Chief," he says to the dispatcher.

The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a limo going a hundred and five.

"So bust him," said the Chief.

"I don't think we want to do that, he's really important," said the cop.

The Chief exclaimed, "All the more reason!"

"No, I mean really important," said the cop.

The Chief then asked, "Who ya got there, the Mayor?"

Cop: "Bigger."

Chief: "Governor?"

Cop: "Bigger."

"Well," said the Chief, "Who is it?"

Cop: "I think it's God!"

Chief: "What makes you think it's God?"

Cop: "He's got the Pope for a limo driver!"

Traffic Stop
A Missouri State Trooper pulled a car over on I-55 about 2  miles north of the MO/AR state line. When the Trooper asked the driver  why  he was speeding.
 
The driver answered that he was a magician and a juggler and he was on his  way to Sikeston to do a show that night for a birthday  party and didn't  want to be late.

The Trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling, and If the driver  would do a little juggling for him that he wouldn't give  him a ticket.


The driver told the Trooper that he had sent all of his equipment on ahead and didn't have anything to juggle. The Trooper told Him  that he had some flares in the trunk of his patrol car and asked if he could juggle them.


The  juggler stated that he could,so the Trooper got three flares lit them and handed them to the juggler.


While the man was doing his juggling act, a car pulled in behind the patrol car, a drunk got out and watched the performance briefly. He then went over to the patrol car, opened the rear door and got in.


The Trooper observed him doing this and went over to the patrol car, opened the door and asked the drunk what he thought he was doing.


The drunk replied, "You might as well take my ass to jail, cause there's no way in hell I can pass that test."

At the Police Station
A first grade class was on a field trip at the police station.
 
A senior officer is showing them around and noting points of interest.
 
He points to the left wall and says, "These are the jail cells we keep all the bad guys in." The children are fascinated and look around in awe.
 
He then points to another wall and says, "These are all the files so we can keep track of all the bad guys, and these pictures are all of America's most wanted criminals."
 
A little girls raised her hand and said, "These are pictures of the baddest people in America and you're looking for them?"
 
The officer replies, "Yes."
 
Then the little girl asked, "Well why didn't you keep them when you took their picture?!"

Cop Under Fire
If you ever testified in court, you might wish you could have been as
sharp as this Cop. A defense attorney was cross-examining a police
officer during a felony trial-----it went like this:

Q. Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene?
A. No sir, but I subsequently observed a person matching the description
of the offender running several blocks away.

Q. Officer, who provided this description?
A. The officer who responded to the scene.

Q. A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender.
Do you trust your fellow officers?
A. Yes sir, with my life.

Q. With your life? Let me ask you this then officer, do you have a room
where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?
A. Yes sir, we do.

Q. And do you have a locker in that room?
A. Yes sir, I do.

Q. And do you have a lock on your locker?
A. Yes sir.

Q. Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your
life, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share
with those same officers?
A. You see sir, we share the building with the entire court complex, and
sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.

With that, the courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was
called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's best
comeback line and we think he'll win.

Gotcha
From the country where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes a true story from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighbourhood tavern. Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man  stumbled around the carpark for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what  seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five vehicles, the man managed to find his car which he fell into. He was there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine dry night), flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches,reversed a little and then remained stationary for a few more minutes as some more vehicles left. At last he pulled out of the car park and started to drive slowly down the road.

The police officer, having patiently waited all this time,now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and carried out a breathalyser test. To his amazement the breathalyser indicated no evidence of the man having consumed alcohol at all!

Dumbfounded, the officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the Police station this breath-alyser equipment must be broken. 

"I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy."

Last Laugh
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post. A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40.

The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.

Young Entrepreneur

A policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem - a 12-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign, which read:

"RADAR TRAP AHEAD"

The officer then found a young accomplice down the
road with a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket full of money.
(And we used to just sell lemonade!)

Fred???
 
A law enforcement officer stops a car for traveling faster than the posted speed limit. Since he's in a good mood that day he decides to give the poor fellow a break and write him out a warning instead of a ticket. So, he asks the man his name.

"Fred," he replies.

"Fred what?" the officer asks.

"Just Fred," the man responds.

When the officer presses him for a last name, the man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it.  The officer thinks he has a nutcase on his hands, but plays along with it.

"Tell me Fred, how did you lose your last name?"

The man replies, "It's a long story so stay with me. I was born Fred Dingaling. I know, funny last name. The kids used to
tease me all the time.  So I stayed to myself. I studied hard and got good grades.  When I got older, I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college, medical school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I was Fred  Dingaling, MD.

After a while I got bored being a doctor so I decided to go back to school.   Dentistry was my dream. Got all the way through school, got my degree so I was now Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS.

Got bored  doing dentistry so I started fooling around with my assistant.  She gave me VD.  So, I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS with VD.

Well, the ADA found out about the VD so they  took away my DDS so I was Fred Dingaling MD with VD.  Then the AMA  found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so  they took away my MD leaving me as Fred Dingaling with VD.  Then the VD took away my dingaling so now I'm just Fred."

The officer walked away in tears, laughing so hard, and tore up the Warning ticket.

How To Get Out Of A Speeding Ticket
 
A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange:

Officer: May I see your driver's license?
Driver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.

Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?
Driver: It's not my car. I stole it.

Officer: The car is stolen?
Driver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.

Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?
Driver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.

Officer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?
Driver: Yes, sir.

Hearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation:

Captain: Sir, can I see your license?
Driver: Sure. Here it is.

It was valid.

Captain: Who's car is this?
Driver: It's mine, officer. Here's the owner's card.

The driver owned the car.

Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?
Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it.

Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.

Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it.
Driver: No problem.

Trunk is opened; no body.

Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.

Driver: Yeah, I'll bet the lying s.o.b. told you I was speeding, too!

Only in Texas (maybe OK)

A Texas State Trooper pulled a car over and told the driver that because he had been wearing his seat belt, he had just won $5,000 dollars in the statewide safety competition. "What are you going to do with the money?" asked the policeman. "Well, I guess I'm going to get a driver's license," he answered.

"Oh, don't listen to him," yelled a woman in the passenger seat. "He's a smart aleck when he's drunk."

This woke up the guy in the back-seat, who took one look at the cop and moaned, "I knew we wouldn't get far in a stolen car."

At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and a voice said, in Spanish, "Are we over the border yet?"
