Police Humor

A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar trap.
A $40 speeding ticket was included.
Being cute, the motorist sent the police department a picture of $40.

The police responded with another mailed photo....of handcuffs.

On February 3, 1998, a Renton (Seattle Area) man tried to commit a robbery. this was probably his first attempt, as suggested by his lack of a record of violent crime, and by his terminally stupid choice.

1) The target was H&J Leather and Firearms, a gunshop.
2) The shop was full of customers, in a state where a substantial fraction of the adult population is licensed to carry handguns in public places.
3) To enter the shop, he had to step around a marked King County Police patrol car parked at the front door.
4) An officer in uniform was standing next to the counter, having coffee before reporting to duty.
5) Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a holdup and fired a few wild shots.
6) The officer and the clerk promptly returned fire, quickly removing the would-be robber from the gene pool.
7) Several other customers also drew their guns, but didn't fire. No one else was hurt.

Whew!!!
Two members of the Lothian and Borders traffic police were out on the Berwickshire moors with a radar gun recently, happily engaged in apprehending speeding motorists, when their equipment suddenly locked-up completely with an unexpected reading of well over 300 mph.

The mystery was explained seconds later as a low flying Harrier hurtled over their heads. The boys in blue, upset at the damage to their radar gun, put in a complaint to the RAF, but were somewhat chastened when the RAF pointed out that the damage might well have been more severe.

The Harrier's target-seeker had locked on to the'enemy' radar and triggered an automatic retaliatory air-to-surface missile attack.

Luckily the Harrier was operating unarmed.
