Dem copper once stopped me for what he claimed “giving him dirty look”. He searched my car from end to end, and had to let me go. All I had in trunk was lots of dirty laundry since I was headed to a public laundromat in Chicago. To extract revenge for unnecessary harassment, I followed his police vehicle for half an hour. I think that must have scared him, because he put on his dome light flasher and took off at high speed.
One must be circumspect when dealing with Chicago’s finest. Traditionally, they - shall we say - “have had a lot of latitude” when carrying out their duties!
That’s almost as good as a friend of mine. A state trooper made a fast lane change, forcing my friend to divert. He then gets pulled over for illegal lane use or something.
The cop comes back with the ticket and my friend is talking on his cell phone.
The cop says “ go ahead and finish your conversation, I can wait.” My friend replies “I’m all done. Would you like to speak with your Commander?” and hands him the phone.
All I know is the ticket was cancelled and Internal Affairs later called my buddy for a statement.
