I was driving through Lancaster, PA 10 years ago and was pulled over by a police office. I was with another business colleague and we were both dressed in business suits. The officer quickly said that two men matching our description had shoplifted some food from a convenience store.

My colleague and I immediately started laughing as I exclaimed “You mean two good looking men, dressed as businessmen and workout two hours a day ripped off some candy bars”? I apologized while we were all laughing and I was almost to point of tears it was so funny.

The officer said that it was the car that matched the description and we started laughing even harder. We were in Land Rover, not the kind of car that gets mistaken for anything.

I said they must have been pretty stupid to use a Land Rover as a get away car. I was trying not to laugh but it was no use.

Anyway the officer quickly apologized and excused himself.

My friend and I stayed there on the side of road making fun of each other and laughing until our stomachs were hurting.

The point is, most cops are doing their job and protecting you and I from dumb people and bad people.

The office only did a behavior assesment on you and you acted like a good and decent person, er citizen. Passing the first test of the minor “tell” interview he moved on to his job and bade you a good day.

He probably didn’t take any notes regarding you either.

Move on and have a good day.

He radioed in for a warrant check.
