You never know what you’re going to see when driving around on patrol. The other night, I was driving down the street when I saw a car with the word “STOP” mounted on the rear window.
When the car slowed down, its regular red stop lamps came on like normal. A blue lighted “STOP” also came on. Even though it was kind of funny to see, a blue light is not allowed on a car.
I activated my lights and stopped the vehicle. I walked up to the driver and said, “I stopped you because of the blue light you have in the window.” I went on to explain why the blue light was illegal on the vehicle.
“Okay officer. I can discount connect it right now.”
“Do you have a driver’s license?” I asked.
“Yes,” the driver said as he reached into his wallet and showed me. That’s when the driver pointed to his back window and said, “I have a red one I can put on instead.”
“Okay. A red light will work.” I found it interesting he had different colors on demand. What other lighting fixtures did he have with him?
The driver then said, “Give me $25 for this one and you can have it.”
“No, that’s okay,” I replied.
“Come on officer. Just give me $25 for the light.”
“No, I don’t need it.”
“Just $25.”
His pleading voice was begging me to buy it from him. The car stop turned weird at that moment. If just goes to show that you never know what people are going to say at work.

How crazy. He was obviously a bit desperate for some cash, bit bizarre to ask it from you.
On a different topic, where were you this morning, when I came across a crazy lady on a single, one lane bridge to work? Get this, I’m half way across and clearly have right of way and she comes round the corner, drives right up to me like she has no intention of stopping. Clearly she was going to ram me. I had no option back to reverse right back off the bridge. I was not impressed. Takes all sorts.

He tried to sell you it? Haha that’s so random. Drugs right? He had to have been on drugs.

It was weird. I think he really wanted to make his money back.

I mean, the only reason someone is desperate to get back $25 is for drugs! Ha. (I watch too many Cops episodes.)

He’s driving a Ferrari and he’s trying to get $25 from you?

Actually, it was just a Ferrari sticker. The car was a bit tacky.

I bet the sticker was for sale too.

Jeebus, just give the man some money. He’s probably brain damaged from getting rear ended a thousand times and that’s why he has the sign in the back window. Lol.

Haha. I didn’t think about that being the reason for the sign.

What kind of car is that? I’m clear on the sticker but I can’t tell what it’s supposed to be.
