Has a cop ever said something to you which was completely unexpected?

Oh dear lord! 🤣 Buckle upI am from Iraq, no law, no rules, corruption and no taxes with shitty salary as a cop in Iraq. So! The year was 2002 , driving my dad's chevy malibu, on my way to work, 2 cops stops. Cop 1: litsen kid! We need a ride to this location and we have no money. Me: sure thing sir, hop in. I take them to their destination. Cop 2: we are hungry though. 5000 dinar each, because you are underage for driving and you don't have driving licens, right! I hand them 8000 dinar total, they did not even count it 😂 Cop 1: may god bless you and be with you son, thanks foe the ride. I was 16 and a half years old, in iraq you have to be 18 to get driving licens

One high-fived me and told me to watch out for blondes with big breasts. It's kind of a long story. But I didn't expect that.

For the story, I went to this strip club with my colleagues in the US after work. And it wasn't the first time I went to a strip club or bar but I was fairly new to them (I think it was my third time) and even drinking in general. Then they wanted to leave early and I wanted to stay so they asked me if I'm okay to catch a ride home and I said sure, I'll call a taxi.

But while I was staying there and having fun tipping girls on stage, a guy next to me at the bar started chatting with me... and we got into this deep conversation and he invited me to go whitewater rafting with his family and he asked me if I like tequila and I said I never tried it. So he bought me multiple tequila shots.

Then I was still a featherweight drinker so I excused myself and dashed to the bathroom and vomited in the toilet. After I sorta recovered, I stumbled out and he said he was sorry and offered to give me a ride back to my hotel. So he gave me a ride but he dropped me off at the entrance of the hotel and I sort of slumped out of the car and immediately passed out in front of the entrance.

So then I woke up only to find multiple large police officers pointing tasers at me. Then I tried to get up quickly and they're like, "Freeze! Move slowly! Show us your hands!" And they asked me what I did and what I was doing passed out outside and I explained the situation to them... but then I went into gory details describing the strippers and how there was this blonde girl with giant breasts and I never saw such giant breasts in person before with 3D stereoscopic vision where I can adjust the camera angle and see them from the front, side, top, below.

Then some of the officers started chuckling and I just started embellishing it more and more until they were all laughing. Then finally they let me off with a warning and the last officer discreetly high-fived me and said, "watch out for the tequila and those blondes with the giant breasts!" or something to this effect.

Thats a great story and funny

I got the ultimate case of looking non-threatening no matter how much I train my body. Got one of those resting happy faces with a goofy big smile and small stature... you know the "cute" type of guy as opposed to the "manly". I always disliked it but it worked out really well in that one situation to turn a very nerve-wracking situation inadvertently into a comedy routine getting the police to relax and start laughing.

My dad is Chinese and when we went to ask a black security guard for directions and museum hours during a vacation the black man greeted my dad by saying “What’s up my brother?” In Canada, black people only refer to other black people as their brothers but I guess in Europe, all none white people could receive that greeting from another non white person.

Nope.
But I've surprised cops before.

I got pulled over for being on my cell phone while driving.
I wasn't... but I had to confess to what I had been doing,, which was really embarrassing but I didn't need the ticket.
I was recovering from a cold. I'd been picking my nose. He said he was glad I told him before giving him my license without having washed my hands and he let me go.

[humanearth]

Yeah, pick it more often

[Andres77]

Y'all do it!
But I admit, I was in a bad way and really frustrated.

When i was a kid most cops were assholes lol once i started working around them a lot & met a lot of reserved and active police officers i realized they're normal people like me everyone else. One cop which is z good friend of mine today asked me about some rap music and bumped all the same raps i was like wait what, and that was unexpected. After that i started supporting LE to the fullest.

[humanearth]

I used to know this one police officer (God rest his soul and a great man) He used to play NWA fuck the police from his car. He was a very funny man

I sold equipment to cops for years so there was a lot of things they said. I had a police chief tell me that I would make a good cop and that he would be having a couple of openings soon and invited me to apply.

[humanearth]

That must have been long ago. Your old now

[exitseven]

Yes, I was doing that in my 20's.

One officer stopped me for speeding. I'd had a few pints but felt sober. I apologized and told her I'd been distracted because I'd been talking to my passenger. She just said ok, please be more careful and that was the end of that. Another time I was stopped for a burnt out tail light. The guy fixed it for me on the spot and apologized for stopping me.

He said my name which confused me at first because I never met him before. But then remembered I know one cop personally and train two others when I was a PT so he must know who I am through them.
