Cops, what is the craziest "you'll never believe me" story a suspect said that was true?

[@Cassiopea525]

So my grandpa was a cop and loved to tell this story. He was just on the highway when a sports car goes rocketing past him. He lights and sirens and the moment the guy is over he’s holding his I’d out the window. My grandpa was confused but goes over and takes the ID. As he’s looking it over the guy says he’s the top heart surgeon and was on call when he was called about a urgent incident. He is desperate to reach the hospital. My grandpa has doubts, but the guy looked so panicked my grandpa says, “Tell you what. I’ll keep your license and let you go, and call other cops along here but after that surgery you are picking up your license and the ticket at the station, and I will be checking on this story. The guy agrees, even says he’d happily take double if he can just get to the hospital. So my grandpa takes the license back to the station. Station gets a call from the hospital after a while. The staff thanking him for letting the surgeon go and saying they got the patient stable and the doctor will be on his way to the station. Doc shows up looking exhausted, but presents his hospital ID, saying he appreciates being allowed to rush there, and asking for his ticket and license. First time such a wild excuse was true, and first time the person being issued the ticket didn’t want out of the ticket, just wanted to get there in time. He had already written the ticket but told the doc to take it to court and he would tell the judge what happened and recommend it be taken down to a warning.

My male grey tabby cat (who i had raised from a kitten) developed what later turned out to be acute urinary blockage from a bladder stone. Poor guy was crying and in pain. it was the middle of the night. We jumped in the car and my husband (who is a paramedic and trained ambulance driver) drove WAY over the speed limit across town to the veterinary ER. On our way there we were (rightfully) pulled over by a cop. We told him we were so sorry and we’d happily take a ticket, but our cat might be dying. He took one glance at the cat carrier in the back seat and immediately provided us a police escort to the vet! No ticket either! Luckily, we got there in time and (after emergency surgery) my sweet kitty recovered and went on to live many happy years. I will forever be grateful to that officer for helping us!

A story that was used in our training for why you send on every call (911 dispatcher). The trainer's department had a frequent flyer who was an old woman who was lonely. She called at least once a week for really small things that she would exaggerate. One day she says she has accidentally left her front door open when she went to the grocery store and when she came back there was a cougar in her living room. Since she's a frequent flyer, the officer assigned put her at the bottom of his list and it took him an hour to get to her. He gets there, she's in her living room in her rocking chair and yep, sitting on the couch, an adult cougar. He got her out of the house and called animal control.

[@sunshineeddy6849]

I cannot stop trying to imagine what the “got her out” actually looked like. Was her rocker next to the door so it was easy to just help her up and out the door while keeping an eye on the cougar? If the cougar was between her and the door, did the cop stay at the door and prompt her to come speak to him outside and trust that since the cougar didn’t bother her when she crossed and sat down that he wouldn’t bother her if she did the same in reverse? If so, did he at least have his gun out and sharp eye on the cougar, just in case it did object to its new friend leaving? Or did he pull an action hero and rush in with his eye on the cougar, pick her up, and run backwards out the door? Maybe he army crawled across the floor, had her get on his back, and army crawled back out? I’ll probably be thinking about this all day.

A friend had a dying car that was using a LOT of oil. One day, it stops using oil. Or so he thought as the oil light did not come on. Till the engine blew. The oil light had burned out. I only had two hours a day to work on it. I had the engine in and was doing final connections . Came for last hour to finish it and it was not in the garage. He had got sick of the nine days I had taken and had it towed to a garage. The garage had it done in two hours and, with no parts added, charged him over $300 for the work. My friend bragged he got a god deal from them as they got it going when I 'could not even get it finished in sixteen hours'. My friend refused to pay me the $250 he said he would pay me . I don't work on his car anymore.

[@relfyem]

Reading the conversation here, as the customer mostly, this is why I don't get friends to do stuff unless they're actively looking for punters, and then if I do, I pay them the proper rate. You may get a better price at 'mates rates', but mostly you will have to wait and wait because a person gotta eat and other people are paying more so they'll get priority. Just pay people a proper wage, whoever they are to you, and get a proper and timely job done. (If you're a real friend you shouldn't want to pay them less anyway, I mean, what kind of crazy think is that?) As a bonus you also have the usual consumer's guarantee on the work if you need it, and you can keep it professional and not fall out with your friend.

Not law enforcement related but back when I was in high school I was running almost an hour late to school and then had to go explain why to my dean. The reason I was running late was because a chicken had gotten loose in our house. It had run in through the door as I was leaving the house and I had to catch it and take it back outside before I could leave so it wouldn't just be loose in the house all day (the rest of my family had already left for work/school before me). It kept hiding under stuff so it took me almost fifteen minutes to actually catch it and by the time I had I had already missed my bus. I lived in a rural area where the buses only ran once an hour, but I went to school in the city so this is not the kind of story they were expecting. My dean said it was the most ridiculous excuse for being late that she had ever heard but fortunately I had realised how ridiculous it would sound before I left home so I had taken a photo of the chicken hiding under our dining table for evidence!

[@kyze8284]

I’ve heard of two from the other side. One was a grandfather who had just been called to base for an emergency, got pulled over. Computers were still early, but the report came back “do not detain for any reason” and the cop was VERY lucky the military did not arrest HIM for obstructing an officer’s military duty, during a military emergency, while basically at war Another one was my friend in his younger years got pulled over, asked if he was fighting zombies or something with all the weapons strewn in the back. “I’d listen intently to your radio for a minute”while holding his ID, apparently when he was pulled over he had someone important and needing his own emergency equipment. Radio crackles maybe two minutes later with an “all units along [road], vehicle with [model, color, plate, name on ID] is moving with replacement arms for [government group], if seen do not detain, an escort will meet them at area near [landmark]” Things be wild sometimes

[@gamester512]

My dad once told me a similar story years ago where, when he was fresh out of high school (he dropped out and never graduated) he worked at the same printing company that his dad (my grandfather, who I sadly never got to meet as he passed away about a decade before I was even born) did as a Linotype Operator (a job that no longer exists). One day something came up and the police wanted to come inside to investigate one of the workers, and my grandfather refused them in the building and told them to call a specific phone number. The officers obviously weren't initially willing to do so and tried to insist that they enter and speak to the individual in question, but after my grandfather further insisted that they _really_ needed to call that number first one of the officers finally did so, and apparently the color immediately drained from his face as he listened to the person on the other end, and after the call was over he made damn sure that all of the other officers left and never came back. I was never told _why_ that happened, but my best guess is that they were printing confidential stuff for the government or military, and thus all of that material was far beyond the authority of the local police to mess with or look at. And my dad's memory is declining these days, so it's unlikely that he could even tell me anymore even if he wanted to.

I can just see our local police ignoring the specialist and barreling into a print shop, no special clearance. What a mess that would be.

So, my brother (RIP) was admittedly speeding one day and gets pulled over. He gets pulled over. The cop (mind you we live in the south) comes to his window and says “boy I’ve been waiting for you”, my brother (never one to be without a comeback) says to the cop “well I got here as fast as I could”. The cop ended up laughing so hard he told him to slow it down and walked back to his patrol car without a ticket. That boy got out of so many tickets by not even trying to make the cops laugh. But it worked every time.

For the loss prevention story: when someone was apprehended at the store I used to work at, regardless of who they were, a female employee was required to sit in the room with them as a witness.

Then he left for a short while. Came back and had paid for all of the essential items in the cart... Warmed my heart.

They get to the family friend and... the dog sits. Which is what they are trained to do if they smell drugs. The family friend then has to explain that he is also a K9 officer and had accidentally used his dog's training bag as his carry-on. Showed his badge, got his bag searched, and we were good to go.

Not the cop here but my college friend remarked the funniest thing happened to him visiting friends in Canada. He was on the highway out in the middle of nowhere with his friend and another guy who was a math genius. There were heading to or out of Quebec because one of them went to the university in Laval. The road trip took a while so the math genius amused himself by calculating the distance between the telephone poles and tells the driver (forgot who was driving) to speed up a little. They were driving a rental car and the speedometer only went up to 85 mph so he floored it. After a few minutes, the third guy is quietly crunching the numbers in his head when suddenly BLOOP BLOOP BLOOP! The police busted them. They couldn't believe it. There was nothing for him to hide behind and he literally caught them with their pants down. They pulled over. He walked up and asked the famous question: "Do you know how fast you were going?" The guy in the back seat is so nervous he blurted out "I'm sorry, officer! We were doing 115!!" The officer was shocked and stared at the speedometer. Seeing the rental car's instrument panel, he was speechless. Then he recovered and admitted that it was PRECISELY what registered on his radar gun! He asked them where their hidden speedometer was. They all denied it and said the guy was a math wizard and he was able to calculate their speed by timing the movement of the phone poles. The cop was astounded and could tell they were not kidding him. He had never heard anything like that before. He let them off with a strongly worded warning, pointing out that in this part of Canada, it was very dangerous to have a wreck because they were pretty far from "home" and the next town was a long drive. If they crashed, it would take some effort for paramedics to reach them. They promised they would slow down and he let them go.

Being that I have friends who would think this is a great way to pass the time, I find this extra hilarious.

The story about the elephant reminded me of an incident that happened with my uncle and I. He was an animal trainer for Wringling Brothers Circus and trained tigers. After the Circus went out of business he ended up keeping a tiger that he had raised from a 2 day old cub after it's mother rejected it. This cat weighed around 600 pounds and was the biggest baby on Earth. My cousin and I used to walk this tiger down Main Stret on a leash. Imagine the looks a couple of 12 year olds walking a 600 pound cat on a leash in the middle of town. After we grew up my cousin was a waitress in a bar and these 2 guys just wouldn't leave her alone. They kept trying to get her to go back to their hotel despite her repeated refusal to do so. She finally got tired of their crap and agreed to spend time with them on the condition that she could bring her cat along for protection. She had them meet her at the park just outside of town and when they got there they asked "Where's your little pushy cat? He won't be able to protect you." As one of them grabbed her shirt to try and remove it. My cousin whistled and called "Timmy" and the tiger jumped out of the bed of her truck, ran up and knocked the one holding onto her shirt to the ground. They both tok off running into the trees and she never saw them again. Their open topped jeep was still sitting at the park when my uncle, now the county sheriff, arrived after she called him. The funny part of it was that the tiger had climbed into it and tore up the back seat before taking a massive crap in the driver's seat and eating the 2 steak dinners that they had ordered to take back to their hotel room. The Sheriff's department got a phone call an hour later from a resident who claimed that 2 drunk guys had tried to force their way into her house screaming they had been attacked by a lion. My uncle went out and arrested the 2 idiots for attempted sexual assault and kidnapping. They really freaked out when they were led out to the Sheriff patrol truck and the tiger popped his head up from the bed of the truck. They were so traumatized that my uncle thought he would have to admit them to the hospital psyche ward instead of taking them to jail. The judge laughed so hard when they were brought into court that he had to call a recess to the hearing because he couldn't stop laughing. He let the idiots off easy with a 60 day jail sentence on the condition that they left town and told them that if he ever saw them again he would have them thrown into a cell WITH the tiger. It's been 20 years since then and we've never seen tem in the county again. The jeep was impounded because they never went back to the park to retrieve it and sold at auction after 60 days sitting in the impound yard. A couple of years ago a young lady came to the bar (owned by another cousin) asking if the story she heard from her father was true at which time my cousin told her the whole story of what happened that night. The young lady was very upset when she learned about them attempting to have their way with my cousin but laughed for about ten minutes when she was pointed to pictures on the wall of the bar of various family members and the tiger. She thought her father deserved everything he got that night and wanted a copy of the photos of my cousin and I walking the tiger down Main Street on a leash and one of my cousin and the tiger posing next to her dad's abandoned jeep. She said her father still had alcohol issues and that the next time he got drunk she was going to pull out the picture of my cousin and the tiger with his jeep.

Hi, I'm not a cop or anything, but that story about the guy swerving really hit home for me. As bad as driving drunk can be, driving while tired is legitimately worse. If it's just alcohol, you might be able to focus through it if you haven't had too too much. But if you're tired, do NOT get behind the wheel. I very nearly died because I was driving while tired cus I was running late for work. So my advice for you all, if you're really tired, don't drive. You are a much greater risk to yourself and others than you think. Your job is not worth your life. Visiting whoever you are planning to visit isn't worth it. *_NEVER_* drive while tired.

The Key part reminded me of a situation that happened to a friend some years ago. She was working for a state agency and did such a good job that she was invited to lunch with the governor's wife. She got a car from the motor pool and drove to the capital. After the lunch, she returned to the car, got in, and drove to the outskirts of the city when she realized the car had grown a fire extinguisher. She returned and saw a state police car next to the exact same car she was driving. Another state employee was telling the officer that someone had stolen his car. Sure enough, both cars used the same key. The state had bought a large number of this model of the car, and they were common in motor pools for several years.

[@unmountablebootvolume]

A similar one also happened to me. I went to Ikea in an older VW, and parked 2 rows from a guy with a black A6 from about the same era. We both got out at about the same time, and went to lock our cars. Imagine the confusion when my car suddenly locked while I was still fumbling for the key. So I unlocked it again, and the A6 did the same. We then stared at each other in total confusion, locked and unlocked each other's cars about 10 times, and finally decided to just give up and walked into the store without saying a word. Turns out there are fewer possible codes than keys, so for each VAG car, there are a handful of fitting keys spread all over the planet. That dude just happened to have one of them.

It’s like 2am, we rush over there to see what’s going on. We get there and my grandfather is convinced that someone broke into their apartment and stole his stool softener pills. We asked if anything else was missing and he said no. Turns out, my grandma had started stockpiling random stuff from the apartment in her purse. We found the stool softener, puzzle pieces, mulch from outside, my grandpas hearing aid batteries, socks, etc. It was a hard few years for my family but since they’ve both passed, that’s one of our favorite stories to tell. It’s sad but looking back it’s also hilarious that out of everything they owned, my grandpa was convinced that someone broke in and ONLY stole his poop meds.

The "right key, wrong car" thing happened to me once. At work. Third year in the job, I parked in the car park and went in, started my day... lunch time, I went to drive to the next town for a bite, walked out the door... hey, there's my car, a bit closer than I thought I'd parked. I got in. Damn, it's dusty, how did this happen? Steering wheel feels wrong somehow, seat and mirrors are mis-adjusted... and where is my stuff? Something is wrong. I got out and checked the outside. Tax disc was wrong (this was before UK road tax went digital) and the registration number was also wrong. Right year, wrong everything else. I had gotten into someone else's car. Mine was one row back and eight spaces along, parked the same way. I noted the registration number and, when I got back from lunch, emailed everyone in the building asking to speak to the owner of the car. Colleagues all assumed I had hit the car and needed to exchange insurance details or something. The owner was an old lady from the other side of the building who had worked there even longer than me and had the car since it was new. I'd never noticed the clone before and neither had she. Wasn't sure if the keys were identical or just similar, so I said it wasn't such a great idea to try it the other way round in case the lock or key could be damaged - and if her lock had been damaged, I'd pay for repairs. Telling my colleagues the story, their most common question was how the alarm button worked on the wrong car, or why I didn't cotton on when the remote didn't work on it. Except the car alarm's remote hadn't worked since I bought the car; manufacturer wanted a week's wage to replace the entire alarm system because they "wouldn't be able to just do a new remote without a working one to interrogate." So I was using the manual lock every time.

[@DaveC2729]

@@ShinkaVitam Ok so in case you don't know where '3 sheets to the wind' comes from, here's some sailing trivia. Everyone knows that the big sticky-uppy things are called 'masts'. Slightly less than everybody knows that the things sticking off the side of the masts are the 'booms', and they hold the sails out sideways. What less people know is that the ropes coming off the ends of the booms, which actually control their direction, are called 'sheets', even though they are actually ropes, and have nothing to do with the sheet on your bed. So when you pull the sheets toward the wind, you put tension on the sails, and the wind pushes the ship over a bit, making it lean. Like it's drunk. So, referring to a three-masted schooner, which will have three masts, three booms, three triangular sails, and three sheets, somebody who is drunk enough to lean sideways is called 'Three Sheets to the Wind'. And that is where that comes from! And if this sseems like a stupid or silly explanation, that's because I am three sheets to the wind right now...

Not so much an excuse, but my grandfather had a great speeding story. Cop pulls him over for speeding, gives him a ticket, whatever. My grandfather decides to show up in court and dispute it. The judge is basically just doing the tickets for this cop, and my grandfather notices that the cop always uses roughly the same line: “well, I could tell from the Doppler effect that they were speeding up.” My grandfathers ticket is called. Cop gives the same line. My grandfather goes up and says “say, I’m a physics professor at [college], and I was wondering if you could explain to me how you can use the Doppler effect to measure acceleration?” Judge immediately dismissed the ticket, before the cop even gets a chance to respond. He was not interested in hearing this cop try and explain this to my grandfather (it is technically possible to measure acceleration using the Doppler effect, but also the cop was clearly talking out of his ass, and the judge has better things to listen to).

I used to drive a Peterbilt model 352. One day, as I was headed to my delivery, I notice my keyring near the dash. I looked again, and the key to my Chevrolet was able to lock, unlock start and drive my work truck. i got home and the key to my truck was on the kitchen floor. i drove it like that for a month. The key to the Pete 352 would not work in my car, but it was hilarious, the key to a Chevy Impala was the same key pattern for a tractor trailer rig. When I changed trucks, I put the Pete key back and went on with the new truck keys. One day, a month before i swapped trucks, I got home and my boss was in my kitchen ( not real big on personal privacy) and I showed him I could start and drive the Pete with the key to my Impala, we both got a chuckle out of that

In the early 70's the local International dealer decided to sell Honda motorcycles. With an A rated high school there were lots of young people for customers. The popular sized bike was a big seller, with more than 10 being bought for students. Someone stopped a guy who was taking HIS bike. Kid says it's his and fits his key in and starts it. Other kid points out his license plate and shows registration. Soon most of them are trying their keys in other bikes. Seems the the factory sent a whole batch straight to this dealer instead of through a distributer. They could ALL use their key for ALL the same model bike!

When we came out, we follow grandpa as he leads us to the car, then he unlocks the door and stops dead: ''That's not my car! What happened to my car!!'' And he was right. It was the exact same model, same color, and identical upholstery inside. BUT, the personal stuff was different of course, and he's not a smoker either. So he relocks the door and we locate his actual car, parked 30 seconds away by foot. We went on with more shopping and when we headed back home, we passed the other car... as its owner was getting in. Grandpa waved at the guy, who waved back (identical cars, you know) but then Grandpa parked and went to talk to the guy, explaining about the key. The other man came and tried his key in our vehicle, and it worked. It was sooo surreal! We all parted ways with a chuckle - but grandpa had the locks changed on his car later. LOL

The Jeep key one actually also happened to me. I went to Ikea in an older VW, and parked 2 rows from a guy with a black A6 from about the same era. We both got out at about the same time, and went to lock our cars. Imagine the confusion when my car suddenly locked while I was still fumbling for the key. So I unlocked it again, and the A6 did the same. We then stared at each other in total confusion, locked and unlocked each other's cars about 10 times, and finally decided to just give up and walked into the store without saying a word. Turns out there are fewer possible codes than keys, so for each VAG car, there are a handful of fitting keys spread all over the planet. That dude just happened to have one of them.

You can get a DWI (driving while impaired) for driving excessively tired. Its as dangerous while drunk.

[@richardbeckenbaugh1805]

DWI stands for driving while intoxicated. In my state you can get a separate violation for driving while tired but a DUI or DWI is a criminal offense. The driving while exhausted is a civil infraction. However, several cities have made it a crime to sleep in your car. A judge ruled that as long as they had those ordinances, they couldn’t enforce for driving while exhausted.

Once my Mom a teacher had a favorite brilliant student. Very poor. They lived in a 2 room shack that had once been for chickens. I at 5 years old stayed in the car the first trip but then we took them more groceries the second and Mom told me to come in as Bobby’s mom wanted to meet me. His mentally challenged brother was kept in a cage inside the “living room” but of course there were still several young adult kids who still lived there. Most were out working on their own. Mom told me not to be scared and that he wouldn’t hurt me-But he grabbed me and wouldn’t let go of my arm and I felt so sick. Bobby’s mom grabbed a whip and whacked him twice and he let go. Sooooo I went outside- I can’t trust adults already even at 5. This was no worse than my psychopathic dad and mean ass brother but damn-life is freakin harsh. I was surprised Mom lied to me but then she pretended that the challenged boy was NOT hurting me when she relayed the story. Yeah. Right. He had ape-like strength and was twisting my flesh too. I am for sure he did NOT KNOW he was hurting me tho. btw-the cage was low-he couldn’t stand up in it-he was a full sized adult almost but I think he was 16 (?)Maybe it was 4 ft high by 5 ft longx 3 ft, It was welded rebar- tho at the time I didn’t know what that was.

"no?" "20 over. this is a 50, you're going 70. not to mention there's construction up ahead." she frantically explains to him that she needs to get me to school before 8:05am or else i'll have 4 hours of detention. he nods, gives her license and registration for the car back and looks over at me with a smile.

Story 18: it actually used to be a lot more common, worse off back when the crown vic was the go to cop car any time the government ordered cop cars they'd ask for all the cars to be keyed the same (so if 1 cop loses a set of keys they don't have to worry) and the company used a standard key in its lock rotation for the model. Fun Fact, the company also provided the locks for the shotgun racks which were... you guessed it, keyed with the door and ignition so if you owned a crown vic there was a possibility that you could just take your key, hop in any crown vic cop car and just straight up drive off with it. In general you'd be shocked at how much "security" in the world just relies on people who really don't understand the inner workings. Systems which use standard/widely available keys to bypass the security, standard codes which allow maintenance to bypass locks, etc.

Related to the soaked in beer stories: I went on a few overnight trips with my friend's very Christian youth group. One of them was a snowshoeing trip up a local mountain. I was determined to be too disabled to make it through the whole trail, so I had to stay at the resort town and do touristy things with a few other teens that also couldn't snowshoe. There happened to be a big festival going on sponsored by a beer company. One of the events was called "The Beer Bowl": people would ski or snowboard down the slope and try to make it over a pit filled with beer, water, ice, and slush. It was fun to watch, so a few of us left behind did so. Most skiers went fast enough to make it over the pit, some didn't and so sank in the freezing slush. Lol Some, however, thought it'd be hilarious to turn their skis slightly so as to spray the spectators with slushy beer. We got soaked! We went back to the restaurant to try to dry off before all the counselors got back, but we still had a hell of a time explaining why we (a bunch of temporarily unsupervised teens) stank of beer. No no, we didn't drink, the skiers sprayed us, we swear! A likely story, right? Hahaha!

I went to turn on my music, and thought "what happened to my stereo?" I look in the backseat and realize this is not my car. Meanwhile, I have driven about 3 blocks. I quickly turned around, and headed back to Target. I parked the car, and found my car. As I was driving away, I saw a man looking for his car. He sees me and yells "Get out of my car!" I stop and tell the man that he's mistaken. There's a car two aisles over that looks just like my car. He told me that's not where he parked, but goes over to the aisle anyways. He sees his car, and embarrassedly apologizes to me. I told not to worry about it, and left as soon as I could. Thank goodness, he didn't see me actually driving his car. He was a scary looking guy.

NEVER drive tired. Even if you’re currently driving and get tired while driving. If you get tired while driving, pull over, at the very least take a short car nap, and then get back on the road when you’re feeling a little more rested. A few years ago, I made a 5 hour drive one way to help move a (now ex) partner. It was my first big roadtrip where I was driving by myself. MULTIPLE TIMES going like 80 on the highway, I felt myself nodding off. Car swerved into the dirt on either side of the road or into rumple strips that jolted me awake I want to say at least 3 times. If I was unlucky I could have swerved off a bridge or hit a patch of trees. Once I got there and we got everything in the car, I stubbornly insisted I was fine driving the way BACK another 5 hours because I didn’t want to inconvenience them or ‘waste money’ staying somewhere. Didn’t make it over an hour before I got worried- not for my safety, but for theirs. Because if I crashed my car and died alone it’d be fine, apparently, but if I killed them then Idk what I’d’ve done. I had to pull over. Took a short nap in a weird parking lot, booked a hotel for the night and finished the other four hours the next day, well-rested. Not dying or accidentally killing someone was worth the money the hotel stay cost.

[Content warning!] Mom worked in an ER. She told me one day she had this patient come in who said he was hearing voices that were telling him to rape people, so he wanted them to surgically remove his penis. She had several patients at the time who were, like, having heart attacks or other urgent medical crises, so she sent him back to the waiting room. He came up to her a few times, reiterating his request, and she kept sending him back to the waiting room, telling him his problem wasn't an emergency, but these other patients were. Then he asked where the bathroom was, so she sent him there. A few minutes later, he comes back, slams his severed penis (which it turned out he'd cut off with a Swiss army knife) on her desk, and yells at her, "IS IT AN EMERGENCY NOW?!" "Uh, yessir, it is..." Fortunately (or not? lol), they were able to reattach it, and he was supposed to regain full functionality...

Ford apparently made cars for a while that would ALL open with the same key. I had a PE teacher back in the day who accidentally locked his keys into his trunk. He went to the parking lot of a mall that was next to the public pool where we just had swimming lessons.. He found someone with the same type of car, went inside to have that guy to come to his car over the PA system. Asked the guy to borrow his keys, went back (with the guy) to his own car, opened his trunk, returned the keys. I think that the other guy thought about selling that car as soon as possible, because my teacher explained that all of the cars with this model sold in our country had the same key, and since there was such a low crime rate, nobody would try their keys on another person's car.

The story about a tired driver is inresting to me since you rarely see tired people get fined for impared driving since you need to be realy realy tired to drive that bad. I know of a case here in sweden where a person had worked all night and then went with his wife to pick up a car they bought and needed to drive to the harbour in gothenburg from a place a few hours inland. By the time he was halfway back home he was swerving so much the cops stoped him and after a short conversation the driver was luckily free to go with a light fine and escorted to the closest petrol station for a coffee and quick nap asap. Apparently that can make you drive safely again for a few hours.

4:40 i actually can believe the friend part of that story, in some regard. My uncle lives in California and we're from Pittsburgh and he can't get some beer he "grew up with" where he is. We visited him a couple years ago with a 12 pack and he acted like a kid on Christmas when we first gave it to him.

[@simonederobert1612]

Was it 'Sloshingfroth, The Beer So Light The Foam Is On The Bottom'? That saying about beer in Pittsburgh was popular when I lived in West Virginia, where the strongest beer was 2.5%. (1960s)

Story 11 is great except for the green narrator. Hello, the cops helped him deal with the shark! He seemed to be losing that battle and would have lost his gear if they hadn't come to the rescue in that timely way.

Similar story to the two cars one key. When I was a valet in college, we had a night where we had two identical cars that not only had the same key, but the same key fob frequency. So on this busy Saturday night, ot was just about 1 am and we were slammed. We recorded where the cars were parked on the claims ticket, but we would generally glance at the lot and start running in that direction. Once we got close we would start clicking the unlock button on the key fob to find the car with the chime and flashing lights on the car. My coworker finds the car, drives it up, and the lady leaves. About 20 minutes later another person comes up to claim their car, we retrieve it, and bring it to the front door. The guy opens the door, sniffs the air, and say's, "Did you guys put an air freshener in my car?" We tell him, "No", visably confused. He sits in the drivers seat, turns on the cd player, from which a Gospel song starts belting, and he says, "I don't think this is my car". Not a minute later, the first lady pulls up in the duplicate vehicle, gets out and says, "I got home and tried to open the garage door with the opener and it wouldn't work. After I turned on the cabin light to see, I realized this wasn't my car. Needless to say, we were all stunned.

So, a colleague is a Special, (Volunteer Officer with non Law Enforcement full time job) & tells this one. Heading back to the station to put a crime report on, they flagged down by some young men. Told that an older man has staggered up from the nearby High Street, stumbled & fallen, picked themself up & wobbled up to their car about 50yards away. Colleague approaches with full time officer partner, and long story short, no available preliminary testing, (out of date on calibration), & old boy admits to having had maybe a pint in the nearby watering hole. No option but to arrest on suspicion; despite the old boy saying they had an inner ear problem. Got back to the Nick, and on the Intoxiliser, wherein the old boy blows zero! For the countless times drunks have said similar, this time it was true. Got them back to their car & poor old chap has a parking ticket for 16minute over the prepaid ticket they’d bought. Colleague gave the chap, (who viewed it all as an adventure, and an arrest was now ticked off their bucket list), a “CAD Note”, giving colleague’s Police contact details and the CAD Reference Number for the chap to appeal. Bless, he really Did have a balance issue.

[@kimberly_erin]

Feel for this guy! I have balance issues and for real ppl are always thinking I’m drunk. It’s worse if I don’t take my meds. So ppl tell me I’m on drugs and I have to say no the problem is I forgot them! 🤦‍♀️also have issues with slurring words. I’m just glad there are such things as breathalyzers because there’s no way I’m walking in a straight line or saying the abcs backwards 🤣

[@paulcollyer801]

@@kimberly_erin , in the UK, part of the sobriety tests is asking if there’s a reason it can’t be done. You’d still get asked to try, but it’s on record you’ve stated a balance issue, which can then be checked against medical records (if you allow) and you’d not ultimately be prosecuted on that alone. Also, as we move toward total connection, we have access to some of our medical records through an app, which would further corroborate the issue. As for forgetting meds, I do that occasionally; but I’m rather rigorous with the heart ones lol

[@kimberly_erin]

@@paulcollyer801 I just set up med reminders on an app before checking my msgs. Trying to do better! I will definitely use my medical account to help them with me if I ever need too great idea. 💡 in America most ppl aren’t allowed to ask medical questions but I bet that question coming from the police would help so many ppl. I have anxiety about answering questions so maybe I should also write something up to read to ppl if I need help or need to explain my disabilities for any reason. That would save me and whoever is trying to help me a lot of confusion.

[@samsaverino8159]

What I find really messed up is they tell you to pull over and sleep if you have been driving too long and are tired, yet there are a ton of states that will fine you for doing just that.

[@derkisdonenow6472]

I had a incident similar to the swerve except no beer involved i was driving on a country road and suddenly swerved then the headlights behind me were joined with blue and red he was about 70yards back then i seen the headlights disappear into the road then the air and the red and blue lights cut off it was a hole i thought was about 4ft long and about 2 foot deep i swerved to miss it he hit it and got the life scared out of him i stopped and helped him with a spare he was white as a ghost and eyes as big as any meth addict and i said I’m sorry i swerved he said i wish i would have followed your lead the bottom of his push bar had scratches that were so deep it looked like wolverine got ahold of it he said he was speeding up hit the hole and almost come to a complete stop from 40 to 5 in a split second it turned out the hole was 3foot deep and he bounced through it because of the push bar and the backend bounced out he said from now on I’m swerving when the car i front of me does even if they are just drunk he followed me off a main road so he didn’t know about the hole

[@monstermorty3167]

The key thing happened with me, two fords, thunder bird and an f150 I could use the same key for both. A side note the truck was 9 years newer than the car

While I believe the institution is warped beyond belief, I do like hearing stories about cops that actually do care about helping people and not being a bunch of cowboys throwing their weight around

[@TuftyTaltan]

Doubling up on the driving tired thing. A friend of mine crashed from being tired and I myself have even dozed off at the wheel a few times. Very very dangerous, pull over and stretch your legs.

[@thesheeark2818]

When i was in Driver's Ed, there was a person that sat next to me that I did most of the group/partner work with. They stated that, "I'm pretty sure driving sleepy is just as dangerous as driving drunk," but then added, "And I'm going to prove it!" Sure enough, once out of Driver's Ed they were the one to go on to put that theory in motion prove it not long after. Proud of them! X3

[@idkcba]

4:59 Impaired driving actually constitutes being tired. If your really tired your reactions could be even worse then that of a drunk person. Not sure what the legal side of it is but you shouldn't drive while tired if you can't focus properly or you feel like you won't be able to focus.
