Or be a hooker.

Well, she is not a hooker. I tried to offer her money for sex when we first met. She turned me down. lol

She is a Gypsy. speaks the language and everything. She cant read or write. Has no concept of what a "job" might be. The usual signs.

She is a hell of a lot of fun!

I would file a complaint against the cop and have her file saying he ask her for her phone number.

LOL

Reminds me of Christmas Eve a few years ago. My wife and I were up into the wee hours getting all of the presents ready when she found out we were about out of milk. Apparently there is something Unchristian about not having milk on Christman day so there I am heading back from the minimart when I see flashing lights behind me.

Officer Friendly asks me for my papers and starts questioning my why I am out so late on Christmas Eve, where have I been and where am I going.

I gave him the whole out of milk on Christmas tragedy story. He looks at me and says, “show me the milk.” I pull out a gallon of 2% and he just walked back to his car and drove off.

And you are going to court, why? Take your proof of Insurance and repair ticket for the windshield to the clerk or where ever it is you need to show up, pay the damn court cost and go on.

The last time i questioned a cops motive I got lifted up and slammed down on the hood of my car face first by 3 cops and had a nice long walk back to the parkinglot the next morning.
That was after a concert and i was grilling a few tips until the traffic died down some. My mistake i guess...

A friend of mine and I were talking about this once. He visits the local establishment now and then and tells me that the police often wait outside at closing time.

My question was, what about bartenders, wait staff, people driving to bakeries to open up, etc? Do they get pulled over too? I suppose that the local police eventually recognize the locals, but it must be a hassle for people legitimately out at the early hours of the morning (not that anybody NEEDS a reason at all to be out with First Amendment freedom to peaceably assemble).

I have skimmed through the thread.

You have a girlfriend that is twenty some years younger than you, you know she is a theif and you tell cops there may be contraband in your car.

Hmmmmm. Living life on the edge???

If you were looking for advice:

Clean out and vacuum the car, thoroughly.
Find a new girlfriend.
Change your bank accounts and locks.
limit your discussions with police officer to yes sir and no sir.

If you are just bragging, then nevermind.

Done!

Find a new girlfriend.

Very difficult! I was single for 6 years. I dont want to do that anymore. Besides, she has already met my parents. I think my mom is still freaking out.

Change your bank accounts and locks.

Why?

limit your discussions with police officer to yes sir and no sir.Good advice....

If you are just bragging, then nevermind.

Thanks!

She steals chips from drunks at Blackjack tables Friday and Saturday nights.

Sounds like this gal is a local grifter,

I'll bet she deals, too.

Why go to court?? just get the windshield fixed (about $30 to fix a rock chip), find a copy of your insurance card or get a reprint from your agent and go see the clerk of the court , upon presenting the insurance card showing it was in force at the time of the stop and the repair bill for the windshield you’ll pay some token amount to get both tickets dropped.

Next time you get stopped the correct answers are:

“NO! I do not know why you stopped me.”
“heres the license, registration and insurance card sir”
“You may NOT search my car.”

If they ask anything remember they are fishing for you to incriminate yourself, STFU.

It was a voluntary request. The driver refused. No search conducted. End of issue. No rights abused.

If there was probable cause the officer did NOT need a warrant.
The other tickets had nothing to do with the search. They were valid.

The officer needs only reasonable suspicion for the stop and Foxpro gave that in his description of his actions.

All in all it seemed a reasonable contact and conclusion.

Can I have my chips back?

She tells me it is all in the wrist and pinkies. You also have to gauge the intoxication level of your target. I remember there was some big dentist convention one weekend and they (her and her friend, it is a team thing) ended up with $2500 of chips in one night. One distracts the target and the other uses her pinkies to snap chips into her pile. They showed me how they do it one night and they got me, and I was looking for it. It is like a slightofhand magic trick.

My theory is that the casinos don't mind, because they are not actually stealing from the casino, and they like the young girls hanging around flirting with their low cut dresses. The guys bet more and tend to stay at the tables longer. I also believe they give some of the dealers a cut of the take to look away.

Everybody wins except the drunks. And that is what Vegas is all about.

Diving around looking for something is probable cause?

Nobody knows who I am.

Basically, I cant tell anybody about this stuff, so it is fun to do it here, anonymously.

I am waiting for a computer program to finish running, so it is fun to do this on the clock. lol
