Confession to make: I'm a cop

[Infernal]

Ok, well, not really. But I do have a funny / interesting story to tell.

Last summer, a friend and I were cruising around the neighborhood. We both have Z28s, his a 2002 dark blue with T-Tops, and mine the white 1998 hard top. We were cruising very slowly through a construction zone in a low income residential neighborhood when we almost came to a complete stop for a bump. My friend Doug was in the other seat, and we were talking to my friend Rich (directly in front of us) on our walkie talkies.

Well, Doug looks out the side window at this skinny, sickly looking white guy sitting on his porch drinking a can of Busch, and says "How's it going."

To our surprise he says "Alright officer, thank you."

So we both suppress a smile, then Doug gives him the "officer nod" and says "Be safe." and we drive off. [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

Flash forward to last month. I was at Stewarts on my lunch break, and this guy in line taps me on the shoulder. The conversation goes like this:

Him: "Where do I know you from?"
Me : "I really have no idea."
Him: "you work in corrections?"
Me : "No, I don't."
Him: "Are you a cop?"
Me : "No, I'm not a cop."
Him: "Damn, you look so familiar. Are you sure you're not a police officer?"
Me : "Quite sure. Bye."

Well, flash forward to tonight. I was just out taking a drive, just trying to clear my head a little bit, and as I was entering my neighborhood a young (maybe early 20s) black guy was standing on the corner by the red light I was stopping at. I had my windows down, so I looked over and gave him a little nod. The conversation went like this:

Him: "how's it going officer."
Me : "not bad, and you?"
Him: "good, Officer, real good, thanks"
Him: "hey! nice car!"
Me : "thanks, man, I appreciate that!"
Him: "they pay that much on the force?!"
Me : "hmm?"
Him: "they pay that much on the force????"
Me : "..... Well... you know [img]smile.gif[/img] "

Then the light turned and I drove away.

So, I'm a little freaked out right now. Any explanations? I guess it's possible that I look like an officer that all three of these people have encountered, but they are all in different neighborhoods, one of which is about 50 miles from my house.

Freaky! :eek:

No one has called me officer, but I think my car has given the cop impression to some people...I'll explain.

The fog lights on my car a kind of a purply color when they are off, but with the right light or at the right angle, they look blue. I have noticed that at night when people go perpendicular to me in the road and i get behind them, they slow down, esp. on the highway and with no one in front of them. I was going to turn onto a highway once and this happened and i followed the person for several miles before I could pass them.

I think that from the position of my lights and the way their headlights hit them, they might think it's a light rack. I figured this out when a guy at a law firm I was networking saw my car and asked me if I was some sort of a cop.

Oh yeah, and the darker it is, the darker my paint is...that and the lights is what I think does it for some people.

uhm - you know you COULD get arrested for impersonating a police officer right?

[Domestic Violence]

people confuse me for not being a cop all the time. otherwise i wouldn't be writing so many dumbazz people tickets.

some lady was speeding so i got in behind her to get her to slow down. she brake checked me!

Uhmm, I'm not impersonating a police officer, apparently other than by the strange ability I have to appear as one to random people I pass.

However,

If I am arrested, maybe I'll be arrested by my doppelganger, then I'll blackjack him in the back of the head and take his uniform and assume his identity. How ironic would that be, Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? [img]smile.gif[/img]
