Re: The first ticket I wrote.

My partner and I pulled up to a red light. This was on a two lane road with a middle turn lane at the intersection. While waiting for the light to change, a woman pulls into the left turn lane. She stops and looks right and left. I am certain that she saw our squad car with the two of us in the front, in our splendid uniforms. Then she proceeds to make the left turn. My partner and I did a double take and asked each other as to whether we saw what she did. Since I was driving, I hit the bubble gum light on and went right after her. Then I hit the siren switch which caused her to pull over and stop. I went to the driver's side window. She wound her window down and asked if she could be of service.

"Ma'am. Your driver's license and registration please. You made a left turn on a red light."

"Yes, Officer.'

"You cannot make any left turns on a red light."

"I looked to see if there was any traffic moving on the right and the left. There were none, so I made my turn."

"Ma'am, The only place you can make such a turn are in England and the British Empire. We are in the USA. You cannot make left turns on red lights."

And I wrote her up!

I thought it was funny. Simply because it isn't likely to happen.

She might not have made it to jail.

First time driving in Puerto Rico... flew in late...rented a car in San Juan...drove to Ponce... a few hours away.

Driving into Ponce at 2 a.m. Hit a red light...my wife grew up near Ponce...sitting next to me.

She says...just drive through it.
What? No way...I just got here...new gringo man...I'm not about to run a red light.
This all happens in seconds of course...
Car is behind me now...LAYING ON THE HORN...I look over at my wife smiling...
And I ran that red light.

Learned later on...red lights are like stop signs...unless a cop is on that corner.

I am against police brutality but if she didn't make it to jail I would understand.

Dependent on the locale in the USA, there are mitigating circumstances regarding long standing red lights at intersections. But it is scattered. One is allowed to view the issue as a broken light and to be treated as an all way stop sign situation.

Do they have anything about the policeman sitting in a squad car next to the one making a left turn. or would we have to stand on the corner? Just curious.

As for "Laying on the horn", that might be something for the vice squad.

Police are very different over there.
Another time I'm in the passenger side with my soon to be Mother-in-law...she's driving...and Mario Andretti had the fame...but that woman also had the skills...amazing to watch her on mountain roads with a stick...although a bit of a nail biter.
Anyway, we are in town this day...she IS speeding...and a police officer sees her coming...waves her down.

I don't know what transpired by vocabulary...it was all machine gun spanish...but wholly mackerel...next thing I know...she is rolling up the window on him and sped off...his head down.

Another random time...just walking along in San Juan...policeman right in front of me...guy finishes a beer...drops the can...I'm waiting for the reaction...police officer doesn't even blink.

Very local relationships compared to the US...for such a large cities.

Now tourists...oh yeah...all over them...what can they do...but pay.

Then why aren't I laughing?

A lot of other posters of humor got chased out of Chit-Chat for less, and they were funny.
