Tonight I was heading home from Mom and Dad's and I was sitting at a light not to far from my house. A car was coming at me in the opposite direction with no lights on, so I flashed my lights on and off to let them know. (Around here, people do that to let other drivers know a cop is ahead....)

Well, it turns out it WAS a cop...and he didn't realize his lights weren't on until he went to the next light and made a u-turn to come after me. He drove up next to me looking all embarrassed and like ......and he did that too!!


Should I have pulled him over and asked for his license and registration???

Yikes!!

smile and laugh. let him know it's ok for him to be human too.

I've given a cop a ticket before. I'm pretty sure it was round filed pretty quick, but it was fun.

No. He may not have a sense of humor.

I did embarrass a cop this week.

I went into a small store. I parked my car next to a van that had a baby in it. The baby was crying loudly. I looked in. The windows were open and nobody was in the van.

I went into the store and told the cashier that there's a baby alone in a van out there and it's crying. The man ahead of me glanced at me and said that it was his. He looked down. I looked at him and said, "That's just wrong." He flew out of there.

The cashier told me that he was a police officer that comes in regularly.

Yep, cops are people, too. I work with them every day and it has sure helped me to see that they are human, too.

As far as embarassing them...yep, every chance I get and they reciprocate. LOL

OHHHH not good!

Winx, at least you yelled at him for a good reason. I would have too for that.

Ever try to perform a citizens arrest on a cop? Quick way to either embarass them or enrage them, even better when you have your attorney on the phone.

Take orders from no one, question everything.

I didn't know he was a police officer. That made me more brave.

I didn't yell but I got my point across.

That is so dangerous for the baby. Ohhh..if his wife knew what he did!!!

I was upset about it.

a baby was thrown out of a car onto the 275 expressway here in tampa today. the police officers that were picking up the pieces were crying as they were doing it.

don't ever intentionally embarrass a human with a job as horrifying as theirs is.

Not many cops have that horrifying of a job...that and they don't seem to have a problem embarrassing everyday citizens, why should they be handed the "special treatment" tissue?

When it is something like that I NEVER would!!

But embarrassing them over something we all have done, when he thought I was trying to let other cars know he was in the area, is a totally different story!!!!

because their job is harder than any other job in our country. don't ask me to elaborate or dispute that statement. just believe it.

How Awful!!!

I don't believe it.

Question authority, question everything, don't be pushed around.

Check out 4409 on Youtube, there are plenty of videos of cops pushing normal law-abiding citizens around on a daily basis. Stand up, question, don't lie down.
