Take Ownership Of Your Crime
(I am a police officer, and have a woman pulled over on the side of the road for speeding, going almost 55 in a 30 school zone.)
Me: “You were speeding in a school zone so you will be getting a ticket; I need you to sign here, please.”
Woman: “Seriously? You can’t cut me a break?”
Me: “No, ma’am, I can’t. I just need you to sign here…”
Woman: *growing more irate* “This is ridiculous! I shouldn’t have to pay this ticket! This isn’t even my car!”
Me: “So, if you got in an accident driving at such an excess speed, you’re not responsible because this isn’t your car even though you’re in control of the car.”
Woman: “Well…”
Me: “We’re right across the street from an elementary school. If you hit one of these kids walking down the street you couldn’t be charged with vehicular manslaughter because this isn’t your car?”
Woman: “…”
Me: “Sign here, please.”
