Unfortunately I wasn't in the teener tonight, but I had a run in with "Huntsville's Finest" (What an oxymoron). I was headed down the interstate and exited to get on a south bound limited access Parkway. Well there is this really nice sweeper that leads to the merge that can be taken very smoothly at the interstate speed of 65mph. The parkway speed limit is 50. I know this pig is behind me somewhere, but he didn't seemed to be interested in me for the previous 5 miles, so I do my thing have my 30 secs of fun and merge onto the Parkway at 60, which is about the flow of traffic speed. AS I look in my rear veiw to merge this pig breaks half a dozen traffic laws to wrecklessly tailgate me, kinda like "look at me I am a punk with a badge and I can do anything I want". SO I drop the speed from the flow of traffic to 50mph. Grandma passes me on a bike but this pig is still on my ass. I can play his game, so we cruise at 50 for about 6 miles him right on my ass and me pickin' my nose in the mirror. People are passing us by the dozens, I am still at 50mph. Then this moron tries to go around me on an access ramp and I am actually stuck in traffic so he can't merge in front of me. He keeps going on the next access road, at 60+mph and finally get past the traffic and starts cruising at 60mph right past all of the 50mph speed limit signs. I speed up to traffic speed and captain pig slows down again to fuck with me some more but some one turns in front of him and the pig has to slow down enough for me to get a screen of traffic in front of him and I go on about my life severly pissed.
What kind of recourse does the regular citizen have against the Donut Nazis? None. "WHO YA GONNA CALL" the cops, please. That is about as effective as asking Ted Kennedy to tell the truth. Can you tell I don't like this new breed of pigs? Punks with a gun and a badge. Don't tell me I need cops because I don't. End of rant (for now) Number of time I used pig in this post: 4 Number of times I used Captain pig: 1 number of times I used donut nazi: 1 |

My dad was a cop for 30 years and he has been retired for 20... He tels me of stories of the old days when you'd drag a drunk out of a bar and let his head pop on the steps after a brawl.... Today these guys are nothing like they used to be, and thats why I don't respect them very much...
Hell about 3 years ago I was giving the bug hell and then slowed down and turned in the driveway. When I got in the shop the phone was ringing so I grabbed it... I was on the phone for a good 3 minutes before a city cop ( I live in the county) came up my driveway with lights and siren blaring... He yells at me and says "who the hell was driving this blue car?" I said, thats me... So he yelled and told me to get off the phone.. He left the lights going (in my damn driveway thats 1/4 mile off the main road on a dirt road.) and commenced to tell me how I was going over 100 MPH through towm < I never even saw the guy! He then tells me that I was running from him, but I wasn't.... didn't know he was there.... I just said look, I'm driving a VW, these things are slow.... About that time my dad pulls up and comes to see whats going on.. ask the cop why the hell he has lights going in the yard. He gave a smartass answer.... My dad just looked at him and said "Hey boy, what fucking toy store did that badge come from anyway, it almost looks real" I about flipped! Believe it or not, it was the guys first day on the job and he was a boot from hell... I didn't even get a warning.... A beetle going 100, is he high??? (It had a 2613 TIV nicely fitted into the engine bay) |
