One time I called the police

Because my twins found a small bag with a powdery white substance on the sidewalk down the street from our house on their way home from school. They were about 10 years old. They came in the door, saying mom we found a bag of drugs on the sidewalk.

I called the police because I wasn’t sure what I’m supposed to do with it. They said they would send an officer over. When I gave it to him, he studied it and And then he put his finger in it and tasted it.

I said, are you sure you should do that? He said well I need to figure out what exactly it is.

After he tasted it, he smiled and said that’s crushed up mint candy! Lmao

A longtime ago, when I was young & reckless, I was speeding down a road at 3am, and glimpsed a cop car. I immediately removed my feet from the pedals and disengaged the clutch and let the car coast. NO brake lights. The cops came up behind me flashing lights. Pulled me over.

I was a longhaired bearded teenager driving my own sportscar. The cop told me that it was illegal to use a radar detector. I told I dont have one.

He ordered me out of the car, frisked me and asked where was the radar detector. Again, I said I dont have one. He had me lean against the trunk, while his partner searched my car, under the seat, under the dash, inside the engine, but nothing.

I could see he was pissed, but he had no evidence.
Finally, he gave me a warning, and said radar detectors are illegal. And left.

@Guardian oh! Virginia is the same way about radar detectors, they'll tear your car apart if they think you have one
