Top Ten (OK, 12) Things Elk Has Heard On Patrol

Last Christmas eve my wife got pulled over for speeding (ya know how da moms are on xmas eve) and the officer required her to sing a christmas carrol for the penalty. She did, and he let her go!

I've done the singing Xmas songs to be let go thing too! It's pretty funny and kind of nice to leave someone with the thought we are still human too.
When we caught another officer sleeping at night in the unit we'd get some black paper and tape it to all the windows then wait and see what he does. He usually starts by turning on the healights, but to no avail:):)

Here's the story, our Cal Trans workers usually work in the middle of the night so's to avoid all the traffic problems during the day with road closures. Well, our department assigns officers to work OT with the crews at the beginning of the closures so they can makes sure people don't crash into them. We had a unit that was assigned to do this and what the guy did was park at the start of the closure. The partner walked about an 1/8 mile back to the workers and told them that they were there but to make sure the workers didn't come over to their unit because they had a police K-9 in the car and it would attack. The workers agreed and the officer went back to the unit. At the end of the shift, the Cal Trans guys wanted to clean up and leave but they couldn't get a hold of the unit. They called a Sgt and told him what was going on. They told the Sgt that they were afraid to go near the car because of the dog. The Sgt, knowing the officers, went over to the car and found both of them asleep, and the K-9 was really one of the officers own dog! BUSTED!:)

isn't that a double negative or something ;)

That's just too funny Elk. I bet the messing with poeple part of being a cop could be pretty fun :D

You have to be able to have fun or ANY job will suck!!

AJ that reminds of other stuff we did. When it was scorchin hot in the summer, the car cops used to make fun of us cause they had air conditioning. When we were all at a scene somewhere, the motor guys would go into the cars and turn up the heaters full blast. It was a nice surprise for the car guys after sweatin their nads off on the pavement, like WE did all day!!;) Locking the doors with the keys in the ignition and turning on the lights and siren was funny, especially after we split, leaving the poor car sap staring through the window! It was a rough world out there, you gotta take care of your own:):)

Man, this could start a whole new thread---practical jokes. I'll bet this thing could go bad in a hurry! :debil:

My favorite P.J. that I pulled on a buddy was taping a picture of a bone over the heart picture on his " I love (heart) my Doberman (picture)" sticker on the back bumper of his truck. Took him a week to notice. He said he got some bad looks on the freeway and didn't know why! :p

We had a Sgt. give one of our buddies a special vehicle theft pin for his achievements. My buddy wore it with confidence for weeks until someone asked what the hell he was wearing a BOY SCOUT achievement pin for!!:):)
