Sarge's helpful hints

[Sarge]

Over the past few weeks of answering your posts I have noted a few things. So I thought I write to you all and give you a few helpful hints that may keep you from getting a summons or locked up! If your stopped by the police:

1. Be polite not smart ass polite but honest and contrite.

2. Refer to the the police officer as sir, ma'am or officer. Not buddy, dude or man. (also don't call police officers cops. Thats what they call themselves but take it as disrespectful if you do it.)

3. Don't try to hold court on the street if you feel that you have been wronged in some way take your case to court. If you feel the officer was unprofessional report it to his or her supervisor. Arguing with the officer will not help so don't waste your time.

4. Don't break the law! Ok I get it your car is fast, good for you take to the track. Most of you guys have only been driving for a short time and your not as good as you think you are. I hate scraping kids off the blacktop. I hate going to their homes to tell their Moms and Dads that they won't be coming home. So do me a favor and be careful on my roads. OK?

5. Have your paper work! have were you can get at it fast so you can give to the officer right away. I have let more people go with a warning because of that.

I hope this helps you guys and you know if you have any questions just ask ol' Sarge
