We had a motorcycle cop in Independence like that. Officer Harding (Hard on) we called him. Once gave me 6 tickets in my Dodge SuperBee-complete roadside inspection. Then on the way to court for those- pulled me over and gave me 3 more.
I ran into him years later after he retired. I am sure he holds the record for most tickets given in a career. I recognized him and told him- hey you gave me 9 tickets once. "Oh, you had the yellow and black Superbee?" "yep, that was me." He kind of shrugged, then apologized. Said that was the most he ever gave to one person. Said he had a major drinking problem and a bad marriage and used to take it out on people. He bought me beers all night and we made our peace with it. Not sure if he is still around or died of alcoholism.
BTW his wife was named Dee and she was my manager at McDonald's. I was 15 at the time and she was the biggest Bitch I ever dealt with in the corporate world. She made me clean the restrooms with a ****ing toothbrush one time. No wonder Hard on -drank so much. Two of the worst people I ever dealt with in my teen years. |
damn
at least he bought you some beers. This prick came to court and was an even bigger dick. I remember my fine was $400 plus. Don't get me wrong, I was speeding, but he didn't have to be a dick. This was on the way to a Chiefs game. I got pulled over on the same highway (not Bates), going to another game and got a ticket but the cop was really nice.
