Sure, and my attorney called me a dumbass directly. It wasn't about money, it was about vengeance, and I got all I could eat.Shit the other cop had to move to another state after his wife left him just to get another job. The "lead" detective was washing my wheels. No amount of money can buy that kind of happiness.
With that said the police department here has had a long history of harassing me for various things they thought I was doing, or suspected I was doing. After that case I can't even get a speeding ticket in this town for doing 80 in a 60. True story.
"I caught you doing 80 in a 60, is there a reason for that?"
"No, just in a hurry"
"License and registration please"
"ok"
Goes to his car .... comes back....
"Have a nice day, please slow it down"
"Thanks officer"
<traction control off> spin tires throwing rocks at the cop car as I proceed to re-merge onto the freeway. My name is in their system under "Do not fuck with" somewhere now I'm sure of it.
people ask me what I want to be when I grow up. I tell them I want to be cheshire from WF.
