A police officer had a perfect hiding
place for watching for speeders.
But one day the officer found a problem: a 10 year old boy was standing
on the side of the road with a huge hand painted sign which said "RADAR
TRAP AHEAD."
A little more investigative work
led the officer to the boy’saccomplice, another boy about 100 yards beyond
the radar trap with a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket at his feet, full
of change.

The woman in question, a cute blonde
as it happens, was pulled over for speeding by a California Highway Patrol
motorcycle officer. When he walked up to her window and opened his ticket
book she said: "I bet you’re going to sell me a ticket to the Highway Patrolmen's
Ball." He replied, "No, highway patrolmen don't have balls." There followed
a moment of silence while she smiled and he realized what he'd said. He
then closed his book, got back on his motorcycle and left. She was laughing
too hard to start her car for several minutes.

A motorist was unknowingly caught
in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed
his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40, and a photo of
his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph
of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from the police department
that contained another picture -- of handcuffs.

True story from Orange County: A
man goes to a party and has too much to drink. His friends plead with him
to let them take him home. He says no- he only lives a mile away. About
five blocks from the party the police pull him over for weaving and ask
him to get out of the car and walk thel ine. Just as he starts, the police
radio blares out a notice of a robbery taking place in a house just a block
away. The police tell the party animal to stay put, they will be right
back - and they run down the street to the robbery. The guy waits and waits
and finally decides to drive home. When he gets there, he tells his wife
he is going to bed, and to tell anyone who might come looking for him that
he has the flu and has been in bed all day. A few hours later the police
knock on the door. They ask if Mr. X lives there and his wife says yes.
They ask to see him and she replies that he is in bed with the flu and
has been so all day. The police have his driver's license. They ask to
see his car and she asks why. They insist on seeing his car, so she takes
them to the garage and opens the door where they find: the police car,
lights still flashing. This true story was told by the driver at his first
AA meeting, according to the newspaper account.
