Press Hard 3 Copies: One of those calls

Welcome!

Welcome to Press Hard 3 Copies. These are my experiences in the Law Enforcement Profession. Right or wrong, good or bad, I really don't care what you think about them. For obvious reasons I won't be using my real name, nor the police department I work for. Lets just say I work in "South City". I hope to impart the attitude, point of view, and the humor that us Motor Officers really have, usually at the expense of the general motoring public who are our job security. I've never had the opportunity to thank them, so "Thank You!"

Enjoy!!

This is MY story. I am not a saint nor was I ever. I will use language which fits my mood at the time of writing. Some of my posts will be funny, some controversial, and yes, some very opinionated.
You may be offended, get over it and don't follow this blog any further. Just because I'm a cop doesn't mean I don't have constitutional rights and I'm damn well exercising my first amendment right! This blog is of my personal experiences and my personal opinions, and you know what they say about opinions....and just in case you haven't heard; "Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and they usually stink."
Any semblance of my experiences being about you personally is purely a coincidence as motor cops everywhere have the same percieved smart ass attitude, rudeness, arrogance, self righteousness, insensitivity, and stone faced coldness.
If you've never been ticketed before, I look forward to meeting you.

One of those calls

Every now and then you get dispatched to one of those, "I can't believed someone called in about this!" type of calls.

So I'm 10-8 (in service) and RALB (riding around lookin' bitchin') through South City enjoying the fact that I'm riding a motorcycle and it's freakin February!

I get dispatched to a concerned citizen about geese in the roadway and she's afraid someone will run them over.

So being the immature adult that I am, I advised the dispatcher, "I copy on the jaywalking geese, I'm familiar with the subjects and will advise on cover." The dispatcher chuckled in her response of "10-4"

I get to the area where the reported felonious jaywalking Canadian feathered friends were last spotted.

2WT: "Mary18, '97'"(meaning I'm on scene) and Code 4 (everything is a-okay) on an area check.

Dispatch: "Copy 10-97, Code 4 area check."

2WT: "Mary18, I'm UTL (unable to locate). The gaggle of geese were GOA (gone on arrival). I'm 10-8.

Dispatch: (laughing) Copy, the gaggle of geese are GOA."

It's not too often that we'll make the dispatchers laugh on the radio, the motor cops in our division make it a point to brighten their day.
