O.C. Cruise weekend in May'08 - Roll Call

OC cops can be bad at times. They have to hire a buch of extra officers for the summer. I don't know where they come from but some can be idiots. You know, the kind of guys who were little weenies who got picked on all their life so now that they have a badge they want to take it out on everyone else. I had one pull me over in my GLHS one year because he though my Yokohama 0032 DOT racing tires were bald regular tires. When I tried to explain to him what they were he got in my face and raised his voice, threatening to "impound my car a pull it apart looking for other violations". I got right back in his face, showed him the receipt for my tires which only had about 200 miles on them, told him he didn't have probable cause to impound or "pull apart" anything and told him that if he thought he did he should go ahead and by the time my attorney got through with him he wouldn't be able to land a job as a crossing guard. He had me get in the car and flip on my lights and hit the brakes in the hope that I had a light out and then tossed my license into to car and said "get out of here" while heading back to his car to pout. I have a lot of respect for police officers in general but I have run into some real bozos in OC. The MTA cops at the Harbor Tunnel in Baltimore are not much better.
