I got caught smootching once.... only we weren't smootching. It was raining really hard, and the windows were all steamed up, so how could I notice that the rain had stopped, and there was a UT Arlington cop knocking on my steamed up door?
I asked twice for him to show some ID, and he didn't. But he did pull a radio out, and all four corners of the parking lot lit up with headlights, and the sound of screeching tires could be heard in quadraphonic sound. Next thing I know, I listening to this little Hitler guy saying "Book 'em!"
Fortunately for us, the girl talked our way out of it by pleading, and saying she really liked "Mr Colton..." and got us out of it.
As soon as the cops left, she yelled at me for being such a dummy for asking the cop for some ID, etc... Until the next day, when she had checked with a DA friend of hers. She came back and told me I was right, to want to see some ID, from a man standing with an overcoat on, who had just knocked on my car door - and we could not see his patrol car or anything. She said we would have "owned" them.... blah blah blah...
All I can say, is I'd rather be free than right, and I thanked her again for talking our way out of the situation. |
