Ok, many many years ago.. I finally got to go out with this girl I was crushing on. I forget where we were going, but I was hauling ass down the highway to get there.
Ahead, I see this lone cop standing on the side of the road pointing at me. I'm like "Crap, I need to change directions just in case he decides to get in his car and go after me". I whip into the highway transition and quickly hop on the highway going the other direction.
That same cop is now on the left side of the highway pointing at me again, still not in his car! WTF! It is like he knew what I was going to do and ran across the lanes of the highway to meet me on the oncoming lane.
I keep booking it, while trying to come up with another plan. I did not want to get pulled over and get a ticket with this girl in my car. That would be so embarrassing.
Anyway, I look in my rear view, and suddenly, there are 3 police cars and a helicopter after me! I'm pretty sure that bird in the sky was helping all along. That's when I decided to pull over...
A cop comes to my side of the car with his weapon drawn, I end up handcuffed and in the back of his car. He had my ID and was talking to the other cops, outside, before they left. The girl was still in the passenger seat of my car, probably freaking out. :(
When the policeman gets back into his car, I noticed a glint of light come from a small and familiar symbol, hanging from his rear view mirror.
The cop started talking to me. He said I am going to jail and my car will get impounded, that was stupid of me, etc, etc...
I asked "You're Airborne?"
He angrily replied "What do you know about Airborne?!"
We then chatted for a while about military, and what I do, and what he did, etc..
Next thing I know, I am uncuffed, and driving off in my own car, with a story to tell.
He couldn't do anything about my tickets.
1- 105 in a 55MPH
2- 95 in a 55MPH (I guess you get a new speeding ticket each time you change direction.)
3- Wreckless driving (It's true, there was no wreck, so it was wreck less :p )
4- Following too close (When I was in the cloverleaf thing to change direction, the car in front of me wouldn't frikken move)
5- Passing on the shoulder (That car didn't move, so I went around him)
Thanks to a coke-snorting lawyer that my friend knew about, all of those tickets became parking tickets, and no points on my record. To pay for his services, I had to do some residential electrical wiring on one of the lawyer's houses he bought to flip. By "some", I mean I had to convert a 24V system, from like the 1950s, into a current 120V system, wire in a new breaker box, install lights, fans, switches, etc.. It was a lot of work, doing it all by myself, running from the attic to the basement. I ended up doing it all with the power on to make it easier... less running up and down. I kind of like the little buzz and it doesn't really hurt unless you lower your skin resistance by getting wet.
There you go...
