Traffic Stop

[JSO85360]

A Police Officer stops a driver for running a red light. The
guy is a real jerk and comes running back to the officer demanding to know
why he is being harassed by the Gestapo! So the officer calmly tells him of
the red light violation. The "Motorist" instantly goes on a tirade,
questioning the officer's ancestry, sexual orientation, etc., in rather
explicit terms.

The tirade goes on without the officer saying anything.

When he gets done with writing the ticket he puts an "AH" in the lower right
corner of the narrative portion of the ticket. He then hands it to the
"Violator" for his signature. The guy signs the ticket angrily, and when
presented with his copy points to the "AH" and demands to know what it
stands for.

The Police Officer says, "That's so when we go to court, I'll
remember that you're an Asshole!"

Two months later they're in court. The "Violator" has such a bad driving
record he is about to lose his license and has hired a lawyer to represent
him. On the stand the officer testifies to seeing the man run the red light.
Under cross examination the defense attorney asks; "Officer is this a
reasonable facsimile of the ticket you issued my client?"

Officer responds, "Yes sir, that is the defendants copy, his signature and
mine, same number at the top.

Lawyer: "Officer, is there any particular marking or notation on this ticket
you don't normally make?"

Officer: "Yes sir , in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an
"AH," underlined."

Lawyer: "What does the "AH" stand for, officer?"

Officer: "Aggressive and Hostile, Sir "

Lawyer: "Aggressive and Hostile?"

Officer: "Yes Sir?

Lawyer: "Officer, Are you sure it doesn't stand for Asshole?"

Officer: "Well Sir, You know your client better than I do!"
