Just another funny cop story to add. My father was selective in the laws he followed (in truth, he did what he wanted and if it broke a law he didn't care) and was driving home from work one very rainy day. He was coming through our town when a cop that hated him saw him throw a candy wrapper out of his window. The cop didn't get turned around very quickly and my dad made it home before the cop was able to pull him over. So he comes knocking on our door and tells my dad that he saw him throw something out of his window.
My dad denied it and they went back and forth a little with insults. The cop then stormed off without writing a ticket since my dad had quite a few friends in the local police force who outranked this officer and was very good friends with the local judge.
About an hour later the cop comes back to the door soaking wet holding a candy wrapper. He says "This is what you threw out the window. I know it is because I looked in your car and found the same candy wrappers on the floor." Without missing a beat my dad says, "If I've got wrappers all over the floor, why would I bother to roll down my window to throw it in the road?" Cop was even more pissed now as he stormed away because not only didn't he get to write the ticket but he spent an hour in the rain trying to find a damned candy wrapper.
Sometimes life is too funny.
