Tuesday of this week I saw our neighborhood "Slack"ers pulled over out across the street from my office window. Pulled over facing the wrong way on the other side of the street with one headlight smashed out and crap falling out of the car, more like exploding or dripping out of the car actually.

I thought, "oh man its on, this should be good". The cop gets out, walks up and I hear:

--

SPD: "You know you ran 2 stops signs back there, across Cherry and the one before that.... and you don't even have a signal I see so you weren't using those... I suppose you don't have your license still either?..."

Crack head: "Man I needed my medication"

SPD: "Man {something I couldn't hear} You know me, we have talked before, we have dealt with you before multiple times..."

Crackhead: Starts talking to his "son" who is walking up and ignoring SPD.

SPD: "Well you know what I am going to do this time? I am just going to give you a warning. Get your license."

Crackhead: Smiles and walks away

SPD: Smiles and drives off

WTF? What is going on here? If I ran 2 stop signs, had no lights and shit oozing from my car, I at the VERY LEAST be ticketed for more than one offense, and I have not even talked to the cops about my crack habit or had them bust my door down before.

Is it my family that has to get run over for you to do something SPD? Or who? Or what would be meaningful enough to make you do something? Because we obviously know now it has nothing to do with the law.
