Ever get stopped for speeding in the south?? Some kind of Sheriff.
I did and the good old boy took me and 2 kids to a magistrate in the middle of the night.
Interesting for me and the kids, I explained to some one I was headed to TN. as a friend had committed suicide and we needed to be there for the family.
At the time of the stop the Sheriff swore I was doing 90 mph in a 50 mph zone. I did not say a word as I knew my auto was too old to make it up to 60mph.
I had less then $250 on me and the fine was $450. Now what were they going to confiscate my car, leave us out on the street of a strange town for days???
Kids cried I cried until I was told my fine was $10.00 bless their hearts. I paid the fine and the Sheriff followed me out to the car with the kids and handed me a $20.00 bill and walked off.
Cops, they are human, my son had money stolen coming home from bootcamp by a hooker and a cop paid his bus fare home.
Cops, some are good some are bad, but even the worse will put their life on the line for a low down sneak snake.
