Don't Scare Me Like That, Officer

[tlaporte]

I was stopped at a stop light this morning on may way to work when I noticed a police officer on a motorcycle in my side-view mirror. He navigated his way through the traffic, splitting lanes in order to pull up next to me.

At this point I'm thinking I've got my brand new CA license plates on the troopy, I've got my registration papers in the glove box, my insurance is in order, what would he be coming up to pull me over for?

The truck is RHD, so he pulls up right next to my driver's side window, which is open, and says:

"That truck is bitchin! It must be great fun to ride."

The light turns green and he scoots off in front of me.

Of course it made my day, but jeez, nothing like a little crappin' in your pants before breakfast!

A few years ago, I bought a RHD Aussie FJ45 pickup from Marv Spectre. I drove it from LA to Colorado in 2 days with no license plates but I did have insurance on it and a bill of sale from Marv. I was passed a few times by some highway patrolmen in Cali and Nevada but 10 miles from home, I got pulled over.

The officer came up to my passenger window and looked at me very puzzled as I am sitting on the opposite side of the truck. He decided to walk around to my side of the vehicle. He asked a ton of questions about the truck (where he could get one mostly, and what i had to pay for it). He looked at my papers and was off. Before he left, I asked him how he liked standing on the opposite side of the truck. He said that he felt a little safer over there.

A few months later, I moved into a rental and lived right across the street from that officer. He loved my old 45 and would always give me a big wave or a thumbs up whenever he saw me.
