A cop in '99 told me suicide was illegal. I learned this after getting pulled over doing 60 mph in a 50 zone.
He said my high rate of speed indicated I might be a danger to myself.
True story.
“A cop in ‘99 told me suicide was illegal.”
Many years ago suicide was illegal in Texas (unless that law was repealed, it still is). I was a junior high counselor in a town and the police chief told me suicide was illegal (which I already knew), and he wanted me to inform him if any students told me they were thinking of killing themselves. I would not do that and he was pissed. A few months later, he was arrested for robbing a bank. Somehow, I saw that as poetic justice as he was removed from my world.
