THE SMART COP


Police aren't perfect, but this cop comes close to winning the
ingenuity award. A driver did the right thing, stopping at the
crosswalk even though he could have beaten the red light by
accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman
behind him went ballistic, pounding on her horn and screaming
in frustration as she missed her chance to drive through the
intersection with him. Still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her
window and looked up into the face of a very serious police
officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.
He took her to the police station where she was searched,
fingerprinted, photographed and placed in a cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and
opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk
where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, "I'm awfully sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up
behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the
guy off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him.
I noticed the "Choose Life" license plate holder, the
"What Would Jesus Do?" bumper sticker, the "Follow me to
Sunday School" bumper sticker and the chrome plated
Christian fish emblem on the trunk.

Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car.
