"Please step out of the car Mr Citadel..."
I was driving to the local high school to get a run in. It was just slightly past dusk and I left the house in my running gear: sweat pants, sweatshirt and a baseball cap, sporting a brand new pair of New Balance running shoes. (When I say brand new, I mean I bought them THAT day!)

So I am driving my Father's pick up because I was moving furniture from one Sister's house to another and I had mine in the shop having some work done. So I am sat at a traffic light and I notice 5-0 (that's hood speak for the Police...erm...Rozzers) pulls up behind me. No big deal.

As the light turns green and I pull through, the lights on the squad car light up like a Christmas tree! "Brilliant" I thought, "Did I accelerate too quickly or someat?!"

So I pull off the road into a parking lot for a local business. Keeping in mind, I am literally less than half a mile from my house. So this rather attractive female police officer comes up to the drivers window and asks to see my drivers license and registration. I produce said documents, asking "And why did you pull me over?" She said because the vehicle license had been suspended because the owner hadnt had the vehicle tested for emissions.

Brilliant. I mention "It's my Father's truck. I was moving furniture for a Sister, so it's not MY fault."

She smiles, waves my license and says "No problem Mr. Citadel, I am only going to give you a warning anyway."

As I sat there, I thought: "That look/smile she gave me was kind of nice...hmmm"

What seems like an eternity goes by and she comes back to the window and asks "Mr. Citadel, can you please turn the vehicle off?" I complied, a quizzical look coming over my face. She then asked "Mr. Citadel, can you please step out of the car?" I ask why and she says "Your drivers license has been expired for THREE YEARS!" (the caps are MY emphasis, she was actually pretty relaxed)

So I get out and she places two matching stainless steel bracelets on my wrists...apparently they connect them with a short chain so it's hard to lose one thereby reducing the pairs value.

She asks just before she walks me to the car to 'take me in' if I want my phone which is sat on my dashboard. I said "Yes please."

She slips the phone into my pocket and off we go. So, being the chatty type I am, I start chatting her up, not realizing that when she put the phone in my pocket, it dialed the last number I had called which happened to be my Brother. The entire ride to the station was recorded.

After being printed and sat in a cell for about 3 hours, they release me. I go home, crawl into bed and go to sleep. The next morning my Brother calls and asks: "Dude? You were arrested last night, weren't you?" I confirmed his information and he said "Bro, were you hitting on the cop?!"

I said "Yes, I believe I was."

She called me a week later asking if I wanted to go grab a beer. A rather fetching female COP asking me if I want to go get a beer a week after she arrested me! Brilliant.

Cheers,

Apologies for the length!

PS*(In the end, the whole thing was due to a stupid ticket I got on a military base in 2005 and I was able to straighten it out without having to spend any more time in jail and had it cleared from my record! Ooooh Rah!)

Nice.
All the female cops I've ever encountered had better facial hair than I do and looked like something out of a Pooflake story.
