Retired police officer Sam W Bruce recently shared this funny, but true, story on our Facebook page. In it, he describes an encounter with an individual that he pulled over for ignoring a stop sign.
Read his post below.
One time I stopped a man who failed to stop at a stop sign. After pulling him over, I asked him why he did not stop before making the right turn. His response was, well officer I slowed down.
My response to him was, I have a question Sir. If I start hitting you with my night stick and you told me to STOP…
DO YOU MEAN STOP OR SLOW DOWN?
We both laughed. I did not write him a ticket.
While there’s nothing funny about running a stop sign (or having to use your night stick, for that matter), the way the officer explained this situation was absolutely priceless.
