Let me tell you about the best experience. Local town, I became known to all the local cops but really I was known to the whole town - I was kinda a big deal - and as such maybe they treated me with kid gloves. Maybe I got all sorts of breaks and exemptions and footnotes, so on and such, for years. Maybe I was just part of the town institution. I did get busted, for trying to steal this giant life sized wooden cow. Me and my accomplice had to wash the police and fire vehicles for 8 weeks. It was awesome, I became friends with all the cops and fire fighters and we all had a business like arrangement going forward. I throw a huge party, they break it up super late, some folks get rides home, etc....

I became friends with this one cop, Rusty. He was a big fat man and on the surface you see this guy, a big fat rural cop, and you make your assumptions. And they're probably accurate. Most of the time. But not here. Not with Rusty. This guy had the heart of a lion, a bear, I don't even know how to describe him, he went out of his way to keep me out of trouble. And when I was actually busted and sentenced to washing police cars and fire trucks, Rusty befriended me and was so freaking cool. I went out on patrol with him. He taught me how to drive with "no hands" - with my knee. In the cop car, I'm driving the cop car around the back parking lot with my knee with Rusty in the passenger seat. He died 5 years ago, I wasn't part of his life for 30 years so I had no invite to the funeral, but when I heard he passed I really wished I had a chance to speak, because he changed my life and was a hell of a man.

lol I got jumped by a guy with a sledgehammer and we fought and I took the sledgehammer from him, and one of his eyes, but he was able to escape in an accomplice's vehicle. I called the Boston PD and the cop shows up and is like a "Sigh" personified. I tell him all the details but he's just yah yah yahing me. I give him the sledgehammer used to attack me, thinking he'll need it to dust for prints. He just sighs and shrugs and throws it in his trunk. A day or two later I was in the Boston Detective HQ, expecting a lineup or some such but LOL to that. Honestly peering into the heart of their detective department made me want to become a Batman villain.

Kirk Vikernes posted:A more wtf than bad moment with a cop was the day after my brother died in my bathroom. He had received a 2 disc DVD set of some movie via USPS that had 3 balloons of heroin hidden in the case and OD'd. The detective was in the house for probably a couple hours after going through everything, waiting on the coroner, etc. However, he forgot to take the heroin with him. I called him and asked him what to do with it and he said, "Just bring it with you when you come to the station to give your statement". I did, but lol. Sorry about your brother.

Any fans of the Silmarillion will know the story of how Sauron was defeated and taken prisoner, but in his imprisonment he corrupted his jailers, such that eventually they all came to worship him. And Eru laid a heavy punishment on the land..... This was me in my local town. I threw HUGE parties, all over, all the time. The cops knew. Workmanlike relationship.

I set up this giant party in a sand pit that drew kids from three or more towns, it was huge and awesome. We got this giant bonfire going and that was probably a mistake as about 1 am every local town fire and police rolled in and it was a HUGE event. So many cars towed for example. I paid for and had a returnable deposit on both kegs so me and the boys shuffled them off into the woods as the cops and firefighters ruined everything. And so began the hours long adventure of hitchhiking back into town with two mostly empty kegs...

I threw this giant banger of a party at my parent's house 1 week out from graduation, and everyone was there, I think even maybe a teacher but I might be misremembering that. Some adult figure... Anyways, it was huge. Cars lined up long down the street and the music thumping in this suburban neighborhood within walking distance to the school.

I am proud to say I have no cops in my family or extended family as far as I can think.

Me and some boys drove from Maine to Quebec as 18 year olds for the party times and it was an ongoing series of full eagle searches, interrogation rooms, bad French...

Waste of Breath posted:I was so anxious about cops as a 16 year old driver that even though I never tried alcohol until I turned 21, I practiced saying the ABCs backwards in case a cop at a sobriety checkpoint asked me. lol I do it almost every morning as a brainteaser, after just waking up. I stretch my ankles to it lol.
