    Have you ever been on bicycle patrol?

    I was just thinking about asking that. Friend of mine transitioned to airport police and rode bicycle there for a few years. Loved it because he could ride around the airport and get a lot of exercise. But, when he had an opportunity to become a motorcycle cop, he took that in an instant. A year later, while enjoying that he confessed that he should've stayed at the airport since he enjoyed it more and better conditioning. Sadly, someone ran a light and smashed into him while on a motorcade. While he lived, he was forced to desk job and eventually retired.

    Haha. I’m LEBA certified. Thank goodness I was never assigned to the COP devision that does this.

    Dear Cop... Why couldn't the officer that pulled me over on my way to work this PM, just tell me to fix my break light.... instead of issuing me a ticket for it? :(

    Is it a "Fix it" ticket" Here, those are just written repair orders that don't cost anything unless you don't repair it. usually, go to PD and have them sign off on it so they know it's been done.

    No, it was a ticket with a fine.

    Are tickets quotas a thing, or no?

    In Oklahoma, quotas are illegal. The whole quota thing is a myth.

    I was once arrested in Oklahoma for smuggling books.


    ..... but nobody there could prove the charges.

    What's the funniest excuse you've heard while pulling someone over?

    I’m sorry, I really have to use the bathroom.

    So, has the mystery been solved as to what that yellow thing is?
    I maintain it's a Kraft cheese single.

    I’ve only used it a handful of times in two years. I prefer hands on.

    Do the Police REALLY want to know about the annoying neighbor's barking dog at 3a.m., the cars parked in the bicycle lane blocking my ride forcing me into the street, the abandoned truck blocking the local fire hydrant, that sort of public thing??

    When our call volume is high, no. If it’s quiet, that’s part of the whole “protect and serve”.

    My son is waiting to the join the police academy... Figured since he couldn't join until he was 21 he would waste some time by joining the Army and get some infantry training. ;)

    Oh and Roll Tide Roll... :p Bama Baby!!
