So I'm late as -blam!- driving to work this morning, (I get up at 330 every morning to be at work at 5) and I'm like alright I'm gonna have to speed to make it on time. Sure as shit right when I turn on to the first road of the ridiculous drive I have to make, a cop pulls in front of me and we go slow as hell almost all the way there. He turns off into a gas station and I'm like shit I gotta haul ass just to barely be able to make it. So I'm flyin and didn't see him turn right out of that gas station and follow me. Then the lights go on. My heart drops. I'm like god damnit I'm gonna get a huge ticket and probably get suspended from work for being late (they're super strict here).
So the cop walks up to my truck cool as shit and goes, "you're late to work aren't you?" I'm like yes sir I'm sorry I normally don't do this. Then he takes my info and I sit there for 15 minutes stressing the -blam!- out. He finally walks back up and goes "alright you were going 71 in a 35, but I'm going to give you a warning. This is a 284 dollar fine normally. Next time make better decisions."
Couldn't believe it. I was so relieved. I thanked him and shook his hand and was on my way. When I got to work, I noticed he wrote down 45 in a 35 and just gave me a warning.
It's officers like this, that truly understand the good citizens from the bad, and make me glad to be a part of this society. Because we all know there are power hungry ass hole cops out there too. But this guy was cool as -blam!- and helped me out. Hopefully I never see him again, and I mean that in a good way.
Sorry for the wall of text, just figured I'd share my morning with off topic.

Finally, people not taking a shit on the police.
