Consider the true story of the policeman who placed himself in a perfect spot to catch speeders. Depending on your point of view, luckily or unluckily, he wasn’t catching anybody. Investigation discovered the problem: a 10-year-old boy was standing about a mile up the road. The ten-year-old was holding a hand painted sign, which read, "SPEED TRAP AHEAD". Further investigation found another boy, a young accomplice, at the next traffic light with a sign which said, “TIPS FOR POINTING OUT THE SPEED TRAP.” He had a small bucket, which contained some change and a lot of dollar bills. Just goes to show you anyone of any age can do something wrong.
I know of one policeman who, while he was on patrol, saw a vehicle rip through a red light. Although the driver had time to stop, she didn’t even slow down. When he pulled her over the lady said she just had her brakes repaired. It had been very expensive. She wasn’t breaking … because she DIDN'T WANT TO WEAR HER BRAKES DOWN!
Compare that with the story of another policeman who pulled over a man who was doing over 80 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. When asked, the driver explained that a bee had been flying around his head. He had sped up to 80, because he knew the bee couldn't fly that fast. Thankfully, most of us aren’t as silly as these foolish folk. Sadly, like them we all have done something wrong.
