Advice To Dumb Criminals Based on what other dumb criminals have actually done
If you plan to commit a crime and run from the police on foot… *Do* pick a more subtle color to wear than bright yellow pants. *Don’t* invite a uniformed police officer into your home to chat about a crime you witnessed if you have dope on the table in plain view. When you go on a burglary spree *Do* ensure you have enough gas in your vehicle to drive away from your crime scene. “But I know the people who live here” is *Not* a valid justification for burglarizing a neighbors house when they are out of town. When an officer is demonstrating a field sobriety test *Don’t* say, “Well, I can’t do that sober!” on camera, and then plead not guilty. If you are going to steal a car *Do* pick one that will blend in traffic better than a pearl white six door limo. *Don’t* answer a question with the phrase, “Who me?” when you and the officer are the only people in a ten mile radius. *Don’t* repeat the question that the officer just asked. *Don’t* say, “I ain’t got no dope. Why you wanna search my car?” before the officer even introduces himself / herself on the traffic stop. *Do* pick an alias you can spell before you lie to the police about your name. *Do* ensure the birthday you give matches the age you give when lying about your birthday. When you attempt to drop your dope on the ground when approached by an officer, *Don’t* bounce said dope off the toe of the officer’s boot. *Do* come up with something better to say than, “These aren’t my pants” when the officer finds dope or any other contraband in your pocket. If you are going to jump into a stranger’s fenced back yard *Do* make sure a police K-9 vehicle is not parked in the driveway. *Don’t* ask an off duty plain clothes officer in his privately owned vehicle for a ride away from your crime scene. |

A Staged Wedding To Bust Dealers As supposedly reported on CNN:Undercover police, staging the wedding of “a drug kingpin’s daughter”, let it be known on the street that dealers were “invited” (i. e. Expected to attend).
The bride and groom were police, as was the band, bartender, and about half the guests. The band playing at the wedding was “S. P. O. C.” (COPS, backwards), and the wedding went through the full ceremony, including the dancing afterward. The long-sought dealers were arrested after the “band” took their break. The last song the band played before taking its break? “I Fought The Law, And The Law Won” |

Just Waiting A Montana State Trooper was patrolling late at night off the main highway. He sees a couple in a car, with the interior light brightly glowing. He carefully approaches the car to get a closer look. Then he sees a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine. He immediately notices a young woman in the rear seat, filing her fingernails.Puzzled by this surprising situation, the trooper walks to the car and gently raps on the driver’s window.
The young man lowers his window. Uh, yes, Officer?’ The trooper asks: ‘What are you doing?’ The young man says: ‘Well, Officer, I’m reading a magazine…’ Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the trooper says, And her, what is she doing?’ The young man shrugs: ‘Sir, I believe she’s filing her fingernails.’ The trooper asks: ‘What’s your age, young man?’ The young man says: ‘I’m 22, sir.’ The trooper asks: ‘And her … what’s her age?’ The young man looks at his watch and replies, ‘She’ll be 18 in 11 minutes.’ |

Arizona Highway Patrolman In Arizona a Highway Patrolman pulled a car over and told the driver that because he had been wearing his seat belt, he had just won $5,000 in the statewide safety competition. “What are you going to do with the money?” asked the Highway Patrolman.
“Well, I guess I’m going to get a driver’s license,” he answered. This woke up the guy in the back seat, who took one look at the cop and moaned, “I knew we wouldn’t get far in a stolen car.” At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and a voice said, in Spanish, “Are we over the border yet?” |

Things Not To Do At A Hostage Negotiation As Hostage Taker:
• Demand to speak only with FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. • Have one of the hostages hold your gun while you make a quick trip to the bathroom. • Let one hostage go to the bathroom. When he doesn’t return, send the others to see what’s taking him so long. • Agree to let the hostages go, after doing so, make you demands. • Rig the building to explode if someone tries to go through the door, then remember that you forgot to lock your car and leave the room. • Confuse the detonator for your explosive booby-traps with your garage door opener. • Tell the negotiator that you’d rather choke on tear gas than let the hostages go. • Allow one of the hostages to win possession of your gun because of a paper-rock scissors tournament. • Forget your gun at home. • Run away bawling like a baby when one of your hostages calls you a “meanie”. • Ask the negotiator to tell your fiancé that this is all a joke and would she marry you.

Speeding Excuse A fellow bought a new Corvette and was out on an interstate for a nice evening drive. The top was down, the breeze was blowing through what was left of his hair and he decided to open her up. As the needle jumped up to 80 mph he suddenly saw a flashing red and blue light behind him.
“There ain’t no way they can catch a Corvette,” he thought to himself and opened her up further. The needle hit 90, 100, 130 and finally 150 with the light still behind him. “What the hell am I doing?” he thought and pulled over. The cop came up to him, took his license without a word and examined it and the car. “I’ve had a tough shift and this is my last pull over. I don’t feel like more paperwork so if you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven’t heard before you can go!” “Last week my wife ran off with a cop,” the man said, “and I was afraid you were trying to give her back!” “Off you go,” said the officer. |

But Officer… The following were taken off of actual police car videos around the US
“Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they’re new. They’ll stretch out after you wear them awhile.” “Take your hands off the car, and I’ll make your birth certificate a worthless document.” “If you run, you’ll only go to jail tired.” “Can you run faster than 1,200 feet per second? In case you didn’t know, that is the average speed of a 9mm bullet fired from my gun.” “So you don’t know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?” “Yes, Sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don’t think it will help. Oh … did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?” “Warning! You want a warning?! O.K., I’m warning you not to do that again or I’ll give you another ticket.” “The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?” “Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy, and step in monkey poop.” “Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven.” “In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC.” “Just how big were those two beers?” “No sir we don’t have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas but now we’re allowed to write as many tickets as we want.” “I’m glad to hear the Chief of Police is a good personal friend of yours. At least you know someone who can post your bail.” “You didn’t think we give pretty women tickets? You’re right, we don’t. Sign here.” |

Letter To The Public From Your Local Police Department Dear Civilian,
Your 5 year old kid getting pushed down by another 5 year old kid is NOT a police matter; talk to the other kid’s parents, not the police. If a cop causes a car accident we usually get a ticket, and sometimes we get suspended. When is the last time you got 3 days off (without pay) for rear-ending a guy at Wal-Mart? We know you’ve had more than two beers. When I’ve had two beers, I didn’t hit six parked cars, drive my car through the front doors of a Toys-R-Us, pee my pants or pass out at a traffic light. When you see an emergency vehicle behind you with its lights and sirens on, pull to the RIGHT, and stop. We are usually required to pass cars on the left. When you’re driving in the fast lane and you see a cop behind you, don’t go 5 MPH under the speed limit. We are not impressed by how safe of a driver you can be, we’re trying to go help someone (or catch that guy in SUV that just cut you off). Safely move over and let us pass please. If we park our cruiser across the road with lights flashing, don’t ask if the road is closed or if there is an accident, just take an alternate route and DON’T DRIVE AROUND US! If you get a warning instead of a ticket from a cop, go buy a lottery ticket, because you’ve already beaten the odds. When you see an officer conducting a traffic stop, or with a suspect in handcuffs, it is generally not a good idea to approach him and ask for directions. If you do, don’t expect the officer to be nice when he tells you to get lost, and don’t expect the officer to take the time to explain. Here’s how to get out of a ticket. Don’t break the law. If you drive a piece of crap, that is why you’re getting pulled over. In one week I pulled over 10 cars for minor traffic violations. 5 out of 10 had no vehicle insurance. 3 out of 10 had suspended driver’s licenses. 2 out of 10 had warrants. 1 out of 10 had felony warrants. 1 was a known sex offender with his 12 year old niece in the car without her mother’s knowledge. If you’ve just been pulled over doing 70 in a 35, do not greet the officer with, “What seems to be the problem, officer?” We get coffee breaks too. When you’re the victim of a burglary, take the time you spend waiting for the officer to find the model number and the serial number of the stuff that was taken. Some cops are just jerks, but take heart in the fact that other cops don’t like them either. If it’s night time, and you’re driving a vehicle with tinted windows and I pull you over, it’s not because of your skin color. I usually can’t tell if the vehicle even has a driver until the window is rolled down. Every time you hear on the news about people running away from a crazed gunman, someone’s son or daughter in a police uniform is running TOWARD that crazed gunman. Yes, it’s true, cops usually don’t give other cops tickets. Think of it as an employee discount, perk or benefit. Other cops are family and you wouldn’t give your brother a ticket if you were a cop either. If your local police agency has a helicopter, everyone knows it’s loud and annoying, but did you know it can cover the same area as 20 patrol officers and safely chase criminals that are driving 90 MPH through city streets? Many times the guy has no idea it’s there and slows down. Police work is… Writing reports. If you rob a gas station you’re only going to get about $100, but I get to see a K9 dog use your arm as a chew toy. For all I care you can keep the $100. In one year of patrol work in a large city, only about ten minutes would be cool enough to be on the television show Cops. Every traffic stop could end in gunfire, but we have to be polite and professional until that time. I’ve taken about the same amount of men and women to jail for domestic violence, so NO, it’s not always the man. If the light was yellow, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Cops know you pay taxes and that your taxes pay cops’ salaries. Cops also pay taxes, which also pay cops’ salaries so, hey… this traffic stop is on me. Now sign here; press hard. There are several copies. Police Officers… Our job is to protect your butt, not kiss it! Thank You, |

Police Comebacks 16. ‘You know, stop lights don’t come any redder than the one you just went through.’
15. ‘Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they’re new. They’ll stretch after you wear them a while.’ 14. ‘If you take your hands off the car, I’ll make your birth certificate a worthless document.’ 13. ‘If you run, you’ll only go to jail tired.’ 12. ‘Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that’s the speed of the bullet that’ll be chasing you.’ 11 ‘You don’t know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?’ 10 ‘Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don’t think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I’m the shift supervisor?’ 9. ‘Warning! You want a warning? O.K, I’m warning you not to do that again or I’ll give you another ticket.’ 8. ‘The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?’ 7. ‘Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey poop.’ 6. ‘Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven.’ 5. ‘In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC.’ 4. ‘How big were those ‘two beers’ you say you had?’ 3. ‘No sir, we don’t have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we’re allowed to write as many tickets as we can.’ 2. ‘I’m glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours.

Police Response George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.
He phoned the police, who asked ‘Is someone in your house?’ and he said ‘No.’ Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available. Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response Unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips’ residence and caught the burglars red-handed. One of the Policemen said to George: ‘I thought you said that you’d shot them!’ George said, ‘I thought you said there was nobody available!’ |

Your Eyes A policeman pulls a man over for speeding and asks him to get out of the car. After looking the man over he says, “Sir, I couldn’t help but notice your eyes are bloodshot. Have you been drinking?”
The man gets really indignant and says, “Officer, I couldn’t help but notice your eyes are glazed. Have you been eating doughnuts?” |

Police Talk Police work, like any profession, has its own jargon and set of terms and there is sometimes a problem in translating these words from what they appear to be saying to what they really mean.
While on routine patrol… I was in the car because the coffee shop was closed. The motorist was operating his vehicle in a reckless manner. The accident scene and the safety of the victims prevented this officer from doing traffic control. This officer went “out of service” to obtain intelligence information from a street informant. I observed the suspect acting in a suspicious manner. Knowing the suspect had a criminal history… The informant is of known credibility and has provided reliable information in the past. While being arrested, the subject resisted, being injured in the act. The motorist was cited for multiple traffic violations. Upon announcing my title and purpose I heard a voice from inside the house say “Come in,” so I entered through the door. The members of the press at the scene were offered every courtesy within departmental policies. I gave the motorist a verbal warning for speeding. The Chief appeared at the scene and took command. Further interview of the witnesses was impossible, due to conditions beyond my control. The defendant asked this officer’s advice on how to act before the judge at his arraignment. |
