The sadism got too much for me in my apartment tonight and I had to get out. So I grabbed a cup and put some ice and fruit juice in it and went for a drive.
I know this area OK and I used to go to an AA meeting at this church long ago and I knew they had a big parking lot so I wasn’t too far away so I drove there and parked under a street lamp right at front near the street and listened to the Beatles: Live at the BBC and sipped my drink.
I don’t do anything illegal anymore so when a cop drove about 10 feet from me I didn’t even flinch and he barely slowed down when he looked at me. At first I was glad that I didn’t warrant any bad attention from a cop and he saw I was harmless and not the kind to start trouble.
But the more I thought about it bugged me and I thought “Wait a minute, I caused plenty of trouble in my time and had multiple run-ins with law.” I thought it was disrespectful of him to dismiss me so fast and not even pay attention to me. I earned at least a little fear from him.
If you had been eating a doughnut he definitely would have searched you. I’m just trying to make you laugh…I know it’s a stereotype so don’t start flagging the heck out of me…
I still get nervous around cops even though i don’t do anything to break the law anymore. I was never a real criminal but i did my share of stupid stuff in my younger days.
Mate. Cops only pull you over when your nervous or hiding something! I guess it’s a learned skill and a matter of survival to them in their jobs. I know that paranoia creeps in but I’m glad your doing well and your not getting your ass busted by the cops!
Yeah, I mistakenly took a donut at work in the Army Reserve bigwig’s office. The secretary called the FBI and the CIA and my boss and they all asked for the death penalty.
