I haven't had dealings with Pittsboro PD in ages and am unaware of their more contemporary policing actions and policies. Do appreciate their humor, even though it sounds as if some one is off their meds or maybe on some powerful ones. Or got into the cookie (confiscation) jar? If so, hopefully it's a desk jockey and they keep their bullet in their pocket. From their FB page.
This installment of Getting Things Sorted is brought to you by the sun, because it appears it's finally returned from exile.
1) The traffic circle is always a "right only" option. The last time I checked, we're on the wrong side of the pond (the Atlantic Ocean for those of you unfamiliar with British slang) for you to turn left at a traffic circle. So PLEASE stop doing it.
2) The yield sign is not a yellow sign and therefore is not a suggestion. If I am in the traffic circle and have to slam on brakes as you enter it, you have failed to yield to me. The smell of burning rubber, the squeal of agonized and old brakes and the angry officer are all the proof you need that you did, indeed, fail to yield.
3) The police are, likely, not "harassing you for nothing." For example, if I stop you because this is the third registration number plate in a row that is fictitious, I am not harassing you: you have failed to correct the issue I brought to your attention the first two times, and now you're just annoying me. I promise you if you put actual, real plates on your car, I will no longer stop you for having fake plates
4) I often ask yes or no questions when interviewing people to determine how good a liar the person is. Hint: its usually a trick question and I already know the answer. So when I ask "do you have permission to be here?" I already know that the answer is no. Also, "...not exactly" is not an acceptable answer. You either do, or you don't. They were smart enough, however, to not argue and pack up their stuff.
5) You should never run from the police. If you make this bad decision, you need at least two of these three things to succeed (preferably all three). A better car than the officers, be a better driver than the officers, and knowing the area better than the officers. You'll still have a low probability of success, but hey, you'll be the one staying at the jail, not me. Hint: If you have none of the three things, you will be caught, as my guy found out on Saturday.
6) If you see me out and about and I'm not busy on a call, you may of course take a selfie with Kevin. My only request is that you tag us in it and add the hashtag #FreeKevin for reasons. I waive all liability if he bites you, though. He can be a bit irritable if he hasn't had coffee yet.
Call us if you need us; we'll be there. But hopefully you don't need us today. This was my day off, but is now no longer a day off.
