You should probably arrest me.” The cop turns around and says “Nice try, just drive safe.”

I was doing the exact speed limit.” The officer says “This isn’t about speeding, the reason I pulled you over is because you have five elderly women crammed in the back, that’s unsafe! Did you even look at your rear view mirror?” The old lady says “Oh I don’t use it anymore.” The officer says “Well that’s very dangerous, you could get into an accident. I’m going to let you off with a warning, but you need to start using your mirrors.” The old lady says “I’ll try officer, but I haven’t been able to see out of my rear view mirror for 15 years now.”

This is very unsafe to drive with all those people crammed in the back!” The driver says “Oh don’t worry officer, we’re all very close friends.” The cop responds “I don’t care if you’re friends or not, this is illegal and downright dangerous!” The driver thinks for a moment and says “Alright you got me, we just robbed a jewelry store and I had to fit all the thieves back here in a hurry!” The officer steps back, puts his hand on his holster and calls for backup.

42. A police officer sees a vehicle swerving all over the road and forces the car to pull over. When the officer approaches the driver’s window he sees a sweet elderly woman knitting a sweater.

He looks again at all her stuffed animals and then the drink detector before speaking “Ma’am, I’m afraid you’re swerving down the road while under the influence.” She quickly replies “Oh, heavens no young man, I would never! I haven’t had any alcohol today, it’s this confounded breathalyzer of mine, it keeps saying random numbers and distracting me.” The officer smiles, nods and says “Try taping it to your visor and have a good day ma’am.” As the officer returns to his vehicle he mumbles under his breath, “Clever idea grandmother.”

The officer responds “But why would you need all these huge empty boxes?” The driver scratches his head and says “Hmm good point, I guess I don’t really need all of them!” After thinking for a moment, he continues “Alright you got me officer, I actually loaded up all these boxes to smuggle illegal drugs across state lines.” The officer’s jaw drops as he calls for backup.

44. A police officer sees a man driving a car with a giant orange traffic cone wedged on top. He pulls the driver over and says “Sir, you can’t drive with that cone on your vehicle, it’s very unsafe and obscures your view!” The man replies “Oh I know that officer, but my friend is very drunk and when I drove him home I wanted to make sure he made it inside his apartment okay. So I put the cone on top so I could track which balcony he walked into.” The cop says “Sir, you can’t just take city property like that, this is unacceptable!” The man thinks for a moment and says “You’re right officer, I don’t know what I was thinking. The truth is I just robbed a bank and was using this traffic cone so police like you would pull me over!” The officer’s jaw drops as he calls for backup.

The officer replies “Well it’s very unsafe to drive with the interior lights on like this.” “You’re absolutely right” says the old woman. “I guess we should have thought of something better after robbing that liquor store back there. At our age it’s just so hard to see at night!” The officer steps back in shock, calling for backup.
