I almost went to jail
I'm going to the airport with my wife and son who I was dropping off on his way back to college. We go to the designated drop off point and let out my son, wife goes inside to help him check in luggage. No more than 2 minutes a lady cop says, "MOVE NOW OR I'LL TICKET YOU!!" OK, but my wife is inside, she says "if you go in and get her out quick I won't ticket you" so I go in and in 2 minutes we are both out and guess what, a ticket is on my car. I go to find the cop and she started yelling at me to go back to my car. I said to her, you told me you wouldn't give me a ticket if I came right out, she again starts yelling to me to get back to my car, Now I'm pissed. I throw the ticket at her (we were like 15 feet away) she gets on her walkie talkie and calls the entire police force at the air port. Now I'm surrounded. (can you believe this?) 5 cops come over and the head dude tells me he could fine me $1,000 and put me in jail for throwing as piece of paper at the cop. Officer I said, you don't understand, she said she wouldn't ticket me and she did, She set me up. Well I figured at this point, I better cool down, end result, I kept the ticket, no jail, and we drive away. It was entertaining for the people standing around, kind of like we were making a movie. My wife almost had a heart attack. end of story. Moral of the story, cops are always right. Gary
