|
What is meant
|
| Whilst on routine
patrol |
I was in the car because the cafe was closed
|
| The motorist was driving his vehicle
in a reckless manner |
I noticed a bumper sticker that read
`SLOW DOWN - DON'T FEED THE PIGS'
|
| The accident scene and the safety
of the victims prevented this officer from continuing traffic
patrol |
It was raining
|
| This officer went out-of-service
to obtain intelligence from a street informant |
It was too hot to ride in the car
|
| The motorist was cited for multiple
traffic violations |
I wrote him one citation for each swear-word
he used
|
| I gave the motorist a verbal warning
for speeding |
She was a good looking blonde who was free
after my shift was over
|
| I observed the suspect acting in
a suspicious manner |
He let go with an `Oink' as I drove by
|
| Knowing that this suspect had a
criminal history |
He puked on my uniform one night
|
| The informant is of known credibility
and has provided reliable information in the past |
I've got two theft cases hanging over his
head
|
| While being arrested, the subject
resisted, being injured in the process |
He ripped my shirt and broke my new mirror
sunglasses
|
| Upon announcing my title and purpose,
a voice from inside the house said `come in' so I entered
through the door. |
The rock music was so loud they wouldn't
have heard Patton's army so I kicked in the door
|
| The Press at the scene were offered
every courtesy within departmental policies |
I sent them to a non-existent address which
I called the 'Command Post'
|
| The Chief appeared at the scene
and took command |
I sent him to the same address as the reporters
|
| Further interviews of the witness
were impossible, due to conditions |
Tonight is my bowling night
|
| The motorist's eyes were glassy,
he had slurred speech, was unsteady on his feet and smelled
strongly of alcohol |
He was howling at the moon and trying to
drive the car from the back seat
|
| The Defendant asked this Officer's
advice on how to act before the judge at his trial |
I told him he didn't have the balls to
call the judge the same name he called me
