My worst nightmare. . . .a black man with a gun

I swear, give a guy a gun, and a badge, and a nice car with pretty lights and watch the power go to his head.

So, I am on the 405 freeway and I come up on this squad car for the local junior college police department. Knowing he is well out of his jurisdiction, I change lanes and blow past him.

What does this guy do? Throws on his red lights and initiates a traffic stop.

Eventually I get off the freeway (it was my offramp) and pull over to see what he wants.

Cop: License, registration, and proof of insurance please. You know why I pulled you over?

Me: Not really.

Cop: You know how fast you were going?

Me: 75?

Cop: 80, you know what the speed limit is?

Me: 70?

Cop: 65

Me: Hmmm

Cop: When was the last time you were cited?

Me: No idea

Cop: Ever been arrested?

Me: Ever?

Cop: Yes

Me: Well yeah.

Cop: How long ago?

Me: I don't know.

Cop: What were you arrested for?

Me: Assault or something, Don't remember exactly how they worded it.

Cop: Anything in the car I should be worried about?

Me: Just me.

Cop: Stay in your car.

Me: Are you going to cite me?

Cop: Just stay in your car.

2 minutes later

Cop: Mr Brown, if I ever stop you again there will be no discussion.

Me. Good


WTF? Does this guy think he is on COPS or something? Like he has jurisdiction on CA freeways. I almost wish he had cited me. I would have loved to get him in court and have him explain his little power trip to the judge.
