So i'm leaving the bar last night, i've had a few beers, definitely over the limit to drive, it's about 2:30am, i go across the street get my bicycle out of the rack, watch one car go through the intersection, followed by another who totally blows the stop sign, wouldn't you know it, it was good ol johnny law:eek: :D .
they go past, i get on my beach cruiser and cross the street, no traffic in sight except for the one car and the cop who had already gone way passed me. I'm bs'n with some friends on the other side of the street now when the cop comes back around and starts to hassle me for not having a light on my bike. I'm totally blown away and caught off guard by this, so i tell her, in a calm polite manner, we're on the same team here, it's boulder city, it's 2 am, there is no one around, and I'm on the sidewalk, and I'm on a friggin bicycle instead of driving.
She gets a big time power-trip attitude with me, so i ask her about blowing the stop sign, "well i was following that other car and i might have California stopped it." I wonder if that excuse would work for me anytime.... yeah right. This totally gets her pissed at me, cause i'm 100% right, and she starts to threaten to take me to jail for being disorderly, no light on my bike, and riding intoxicated. At this point any conversation i try to make with her results in her telling me that i need to stop arguing, i guess that's her way of saying "you're right, I'm pissed, and i will win this battle". After that i pretty much figured out that this lady is lacking all sensibility and reason and simply give in and tell her, "I'm sorry, thank you for not taking me to jail, blah blah blah." she demands to me to give her my name, i do, end of story. Now i'm this lady's chit list over a bunch of bs.
I'm all for law and order, and police taking care of business, but thats pure crap to screw with some guy for some petty bullchit on a friday night, and threaten to take em to the slammer. what is this country coming to, no one wants to even take a stand for what is right anymore. and anyone that tries has to be willing to spend the night in the big house, with no charges filled. it boils down to harrasment in reality. :mad:
