The car me and my friends were driving in ran out of gas. In the middle of the road. Guess who offered to be nice and walk 1.5 miles one way to the nearest gas station to get gas.
I'll give you a hint... the same guy who was picked up by coppers 30 minutes into the walk for "looking suspicious"
Apparently, "looking suspicious" means bundled up in a coat, shivering, and smoking a cig while holding an empty gasoline container.
That po man just couldn't fathom the thought that I wasn't drunk or packing drugs. It took 3 pat downs and my offering for a strip search as long it was in his car with the heat blasting.
Instead of being the helpful service to the community that I thought policemen are supposed to be, he got frustrated at his inability to arrest a 20 year old hippie and drove off, leaving me on the side of the road to continue my walk.
Well... I know one cop that got a complaint phoned in to the sheriffs office tonight

yeah... when I saw the car pull up next to me I initially got excited thinking he was gonna offer some assistance. I even walked up to the car with a smile on my face about to say "thank you so much!" when he abruptly jumped out of the car and ordered me to put my hands in the air.
Apparently he's "heard that one a thousand times" when he heard my predicament. Guess all the criminals these days carry around gas containers

That's as fucked-up as can be but, sadly, it dosen't surprise me one bit. One of your friends owes you some corn, if you ask me.
similar thing happened to a friend of mine a while ago, he was drivin through Kentucky and ran out of gas a lot quicker than expected... except! The cop happened to have a FULL gas can in his trunk, gave him the gas from that, and then followed him to the gas station.

so what ended up happening? he just left you on the side of the road ?? ugh. please call and complain asap, even if it doesnt do anything. call anway
Yeah, pretty much. He asked if I had been drinking because I was "slurring my words" (keep in mind I had been walking in 20 degree temp and I still had a cig in my mouth) I said no, he asked if I'd be willing to blow a breathalizer I said no because I didn't wanna waste both our time and he had no reasonable suspicion. Apparently denying a breathalizer is all the suspicion he needed to "take me downtown" so I eventually gave in and blew a 0.
So then since I obviously wasn't drunk he immediately asked me who I bought my weed from, rather than just asking if I had any drugs. I told him I didn't know what he was talking about, he told me to put my hands on the car and he pat me down, didn't find anything. At this point I was super pissed, and when I get pissed I tend to mouth off. a lot. He asked what was in the gas container, to which I replied Nothing yet, thanks to this holdup. I've never seen anyone search a gas can so thoroughly, by the way. It's actually funny looking back on it, how he kept shining his flashlight inside and shaking it around and peeking through the hole. He then made me to empty all my pockets. Opened my pack of cigs, and UNROLLED ONE!! to see if I had any grass hidden inside. After a few more pat downs I could tell he was getting frustrated with my layers of clothing preventing him from reaching all the way up my arsehole so I said I'd give in to a strip search as long as I could sit in his car with the heat for a while. I think that's what pissed him off and he just stood up straight and cocky, dropped my nuts on the ground and said "You better hope I don't find you on the streets again because next time I'm not gonna be so easy on you and got in his car and drove off.
Lucky me, during this whole procedure I was able to get his name and car #. I immediately called the police office and told them what happened and all I got was an apology and was told they would "deal with it appropriately" which I took to mean they'll all laugh about it later over a cup of hot coffee while I'm still walking on the side of the road. Personally, I was thinking that if he really was sorry then he'd pick his fat ass up off his chair and pick me up himself.
Call back tomorrow. Ask for the guy in charge. Ask what if anything was "dealt with".. Try to find out of the guy in charge was even informed about it.
Call a local news organization, give them the guys name and badge number.
when i was in college between classes, my then-boyfriend and i got the car stuck in the snow, dead of winter. i'm trying to dig out the wheels as tim's trying to work the car out, and a highway patrol slows down as he's passing and then just continues on down the road. wtf?
on the other hand, i had a very nice cop change my flat tire for me once in the pouring rain.

I've never had a cop go out of their way to help me, but I do know a few kids from high school that joined the police right out of school that would offer their shirt to a guy on the street if necessary. Sadly, I never run into those guys on the road :-\
I still blame my friend for all of this... his gas meter in his car has been broken for some time and he's too lazy to fix it so he just guesses how much gas he has based on mileage. Apparently, he forgot it's winter and he uses more gas with his heat... hence less miles
Well, a big reason I don't do that job anymore is that I disliked a lot of those guys I had to work with. Some people get into the job for all the wrong reasons. Every dept has there share of AZZ HOLES. Sorry you went through that.
Since Ive been staying home the last few days , And its been single digit temps . This morning i decided to go and remove the16'' of snow from on top of my Astrovan... So i break out the step ladder and the big broom, start up Suzie's Subaru turn on her heat and heated seats ( cause i dont want her azz to be cold ) and go to start and warm up my van,(I gotta get my kids later today ) and i go to start the van and i get NOTHING ... not a click not a sound .. so I say ,Funking great ... So I quickly grab Suzies car from the garage (she heading out to work) and put it near the van to jump start it .. Pop the hood and a Freeking Mouse runs up my arm and jumps off me and runs down the driveway...after jumping back I look and the little booger had started nest on top of Suzies engine..I saw mouse droppings in the garage and just forgot to get a few traps ..But anyway the freeking cold killed my battery.....I'm Pissed .. but that little funker aint living in our garage "RENT FREE " anymore ...
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH to my landlord. The freaking security door is jammed shut. This means if you go out (which you have to use the side door) you cant get back in. Well I guess its an apartment party for me. But still. And the emergency maintenance hasnt called back yet. Damn it.
