In Warwick, a Rhode Island State Trooper was running radar.
He had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting any. Then he discovered the problem.
A 12 year old
boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign which read 'RADAR TRAP AHEAD!' The officer later found a young accomplice down the road with a sign reading, 'TIPS' and a bucket full of money.
(Beats a lemonade stand!)
BETTER
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through
an automated radar post in Cranston, RI A $40. speeding ticket was included.
Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40.The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.
BEST
A young woman was pulled over in Providence, RI for
speeding.
As the RI State Trooper walked to her car window,
flipping open his ticket book, she said, 'I bet you are
going to sell me a ticket to the Rhode Island State Police
Ball. He replied, ' RI State Troopers don't have balls.
There was a moment of silence while she
smiled and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car.
PS: Little Rhody has its moments.
