GOOD
In Warwick , a Rhode Island State Trooper was running radar. He had a perfect
spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting any. Then he discovered the
problem. A 12 year old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign
which read 'RADAR TRAP AHEAD!' The officer later found a young accomplice down
the road with a sign reading, 'TIPS' and a bucket full of money. (Beats a
lemonade stand!)
BETTER
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar
post in
Cranston, RI A $40.00 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he
sent the police department a picture of $40.00. The police responded with
another mailed photo of handcuffs.
BEST
A young woman was pulled over in
Providence , RI for speeding. As the RI State
Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, 'I
bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the Rhode Island State Police Ball.' He
replied, ' RI State Troopers don't have balls.' There was a moment of silence
while she smiled and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his book,
got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing too hard to even start her
car.
