Well sometimes being in the wrong mind space can get you into trouble. The other night I was coming home from class and was just pondering my up coming class when all of a sudden those cherry lights popped on in my rear view mirror. I was pretty sure I was speeding but the radar detector made no indication he was showing his radar love. So I pulled over and waited for the 'Do you know why I pulled you over?' line. It did not take long and my response was a calm, 'No officer I do not.' Not wanting to admit to anything I was not 100% on I stuck with that. He asked for the usual, but I had an ace in my deck.
I have (had) and PBA card from a friend that is a cop in our town. Well the nice officer told me he was pacing me, hence the silent radar spotter, and got me going 60 in a 25! Oh fuck me! But after a few minutes of polite conversation he let me go with a warning and took the card. I thanked him and drove away slowly.....
In all honesty I was not paying any attention to my speed or who was behind me. Usually I at least notice the lights behind me, I dont need a radar detector to tell me what cop head lights look like lol.
I had to run home and find my updated insurance card, as it turned out the one I had in my car was expired. So again I thank my luck stars that this ended well. Always be polite to the cops and never be overly arrogant with a PBA card. I never flashed the card out at him, it just soooo happened to be in front of my drivers license.
'Wow, how did that get there?'
Lesson learned, never drive out of a college that has real cops as security guards in auto pilot. They love an easy ticket, and I will not let them get me. Just because I will not be speeding by there any time soon or park in any areas I am not supposed to be or blow a stop sign. There are tons of stop signs all over the campus, and they are just waiting for you to do a 'rolling stop'

And during this entire post I was thinking of RangerTom, and in keeping up with that I give you this. Just something I stole from god knows where on the internet. And to get this picture you had to have seen the last Batman movie. And to truly get this picture you have to understand this line:
'In their desperation they turned to a man they truly did not understand'

Oh sure... Single me out!
I truly miss having my "tin" in my wallet too...
And BTW, have you ever noticed that the New Jersey State Police uniforms make them all look like East German Border Guards?
I'm sure that the PBA card isn't what I'm thinking, because I've never known a Pro Bullrider Association card to get you out of a speeding ticket. Elaborate a bit more on the magic of this PBA card wouldya?
RangerT: Yes RT I have and poke fun of the Nazi Troopers. Its funny, I new one trooper a while back,, a really nice guy, he did not fit in with them because he was just too nice!
Sav: LOL! A PBA card is a courtisey card the police give out to family and friends. Its just kind of a nice way of saying you know someone so can you please cut me a break lol.
What is a PBA card?
To answer the question...
Police Benevolent Association
We in Philly had the FOP.
I need one of those cards (or 10!)
