How Did He Know?
Richard M. Nixon shared this post via CopBlock.org’s submit page.
Have you ever had an interaction with law enforcement and after giving them your ID had them mention you have an attitude problem or something similar? Pay attention when a LE officer takes your license or State ID and you will see them slide their thumb or side of their forefinger over it while holding it. Why would they do that? They are feeling for a little bump.
You see, it is common practice, if you are perceived to have flunked the attitude test, but not so severely that you can be charged with resisting and have your ass kicked, for the officer who stopped to take the tip of his pen and stick it into the back of the DL/ID so that the next officer who slides his thumb or finger edge over the face of the card feels that little bump and from the beginning of the interaction knows you’ve given a fellow officer crap at some point. Why does this matter? Because these officers will not judge you on this interaction; they have made up their minds you are a dirt bag [no offense to actual bags of dirt] before judging you upon your interaction with them.
Moral of the story: Check your DL/ID, now and after every interaction with a doughnut-munching LE representative, for indents on the back/bumps on the front. And, if you want to have some fun, glue stick Pee Wee Herman’s picture over yours, but just at the corners so the officer can remove it after noticing. If you can do the Pee Wee laugh you, just might avoid a ticket for what you were originally stopped for.
