GOOD: A policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't
getting many. Then, he discovered the problem - a 10-year old boy was
standing up the road with a hand painted sign that read "RADAR TRAP
AHEAD". The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a
sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket full of change.
BETTER: A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through
automated radar. A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent
the police department a picture of $40. The police responded with another
mailed photo of handcuffs.
BEST: A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the motorcycle
officer walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said,
"I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the Highway Patrolmen's Ball."
He replied, "Highway patrolmen don't have balls." There was a moment of
silence while she smiled, and he realized what he'd just said. He then
closed his book, got back on his motorcycle and left. She was laughing too
hard to start her car for several minutes.
