I tell it like I think it.

What bugs my ass and causes my overactive brain to become exasperated? What you ask? Well...read my rantings about the world's craziest happenings (as well as my general insightful observations) and find out! If you don't like my sarcastic and judgemental points of view...well, you're just a click a way from freedom. Consider yourself warned.

Police Lose 'One of Their Own'

We are always reminded to drive the speed limit, no matter how slow it may seem and of course, we are always reminded that the police are out and about conducting those ride programs and watching for speeders - especially during the holiday seasons. But...when we think of those police officers pulled off near the shoulder of the road or in some stupid hidden parking lot or in some big fluffy cloud in the blue sky, waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting and appear to them with lights and sirens as if from bloody nowhere (seriously, where the hell do they come from?!)...we do indeed assume that there are real live beings in the vehicles.

In Lacey, Washington, the traffic police thought that it would be oh-so-clever of them to place a police 'dummy' in the police vehicle that was parked along the side of a busy highway. This uniformed mannequin, named Trevor (honestly, was it nescessary for these power drunken cops to name this thing? Geez) was completely dressed in police attire with a cute little pair off glasses. 'Trevor' would routinely be placed on 'duty' about two hours at time to 'remind' motorists to slow down. (Yeah right...'remind'...more like watch secretly from an undisclosed location and laugh at every sucker whose brake lights come on when passing that little bastard Trevor in his cop car...boy, they must've got a real kick outta this.) Here's an idea for the traffic police of Lacey, Washington...how about placing a REAL human police officer in the car, one who is actually physically and mentally able to ticket or warn speeders of their violations. How about that?

As it turns out, motorists eventually caught on to this scheme and would have no more of this silly game. On Friday the 12th of January, police arrived to Trevor's vehicle only to find that precious mannequin Trevor was missing! Oh no! Thats right. The driver side window was broken and their little manipulative friend was nowhere to be found. Lacey Police are warning people that disabling an emergency vehicle is a felony.
How about stealing a police dummy? Is that a felony? I wonder if the Lacey police will offer a reward for the little guy. I wonder.
