Speed Trap

I was running radar on Plaza Drive in response to numerous citizen complaints. I catch this car doing 41mph and pull him over. He says, "Hey, I'm the guy that complained about the speeders. When I go running, people zoom past me all the time. " I write him a ticket and take it to him. He has a four-year-old boy in the back seat that continuously waives at me. "Looks like I set a speed trap for myself," he says. Then he asks if his son can look at my police car. The boy surveys my patrol car for five minutes, oohing and aahhing the whole time. "I guess this is the most expensive police tour I've ever had," he says, smiling. At least the guy has a sense of humor.
