[Rhodes22-list] Running Red Lights funny Story

[Brad Haslett]

Joe,


"But I'll remember that cop's chessire cat grin!"

Don't get me started!  When Cora was about one years old she was playing
with the phone and, yup, dialed 911.  Three Collierville squad cars were
here in less than three minutes (they have no real crime to fight).  I had
six officers at the front door asking to come inside to investigate the
problem.  I did my best "yes sir, yes sir, three bags full sir" routine on
the stoop with some twentyish-something crew-cut punks until I finally had
enough and told them to kindly do some legal research and come back with an
invitation from a judge.  Forget whatever rights you think have been
violated by the Patriot Act.  The Feds are welcome to go through my bank
account, phone records, credit card bills, etc.  I'm more worried about the
home grown Nazis.
