You should make a thread an lace us with stories. Maybe ask a cop. shyt would be
NVM cause then there'd be so much pacspit I'd have to dip my monitor in rice. Maybe give it a shot
One day, I had to take a major piss while driving around. It was like DEFCON 3 level so I couldn't stop for anything. So, as I'm going through an intersection making a left turn, I see this dude walking across the street. I'm thinking, "Man, those jeans look waaaaay familiar". He had these navy blue jeans but the stitching on the pants back pockets were a unique bright red, yellow, green pattern. I look at the dude's hair cut and moustache and I'm like "Crap, that's the dude in the 7-Eleven security video!" I investigated a credit card fraud case where someone forgot their credit card at a gas station and someone picked it up and used it at a 7-Eleven among other businesses. 7-Eleven gave me a copy of the security tape and fingered the user of the card. But, I didn't have anything else to go on so it was a cold case for one month. So this dude, over a month later, is wearing the same jeans, crossing the street where there's the same 7-Eleven at the intersection. I couldn't stop and try to apprehend. He saw that I was eye-balling him and he had the
look of "I should walk in the opposite direction of that cop car". I had to pee, couldn't stop and apprehend. Never saw that dude again.
Did you ever cut people slack?
Yes. Often for traffic violations.
Why did you stop working as a cop?
I guess I'll keep that to myself, but nothing illegal.
