YOU HAVE JUST BEEN PULLED OVER  BY  A  PATROLMAN WHO  IS  JUST  DOING  HISHER  JOB. 

            HERE  ARE  10  THINGS  TO   KEEP  IN  MIND  THAT  YOU  SHOULD   N O T   SAY.

            1. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.

            2. Aren't you the guy from the Village People?

            3. Hey, you must've been doing' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job!

            4. Are You Andy or Barney?

            5. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer.

            6. You're not going to check the trunk, are you?

            7. Don’t I pay your salary?  Doesn’t that mean you’re working for me?

            8. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too!

            9. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.

            10. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other cars around..

                        That's how far ahead of me they are.

We appreciate all our law enforcement do in their line of duty. 

These short quotes are not designed to degrade them or their performance. 

We are all indebted to them for their service.
