When a cop pulls you over on a regular basis just to say "Hi!" No joke, this really happens out here in Mudlake. It's CRAZY!! Rusty gets pulled over about once a month or so by the same officer. He never gets a ticket, so we figure he's just checking up on Rusty and seeing how things are going.
Another funny story is that just the other morning I got pulled over by this same officer for speeding. (48 mph in a 35mph zone! What can I say I was late!!) Anyways, the office asked me when the last time it was that I was pulled over. I told him that I couldn't remember. He told me that was good and I probably wouldn't be getting a ticket because of it.
Just a little side note:
Honestly, even if it was the day before I probably couldn't remember it. Also, just
because I haven't been pulled over recently doesn't mean I haven't been speeding,
it just means I haven't been caught! (I know I'm bad, I need to be better about
that)
Anyway, so the officer told me I wouldn't get a ticket, but he did ask to see my lisence. So, I showed it to him (I was already prepared for that one!) He looked at it, shook his head and then looked at me and said:
Officer: "Which Tuckett (my last name)?"
Me: "Rusty"
Officer: (Laughing) "You tell Rusty he owes me one!"
Me: (Laughing too, partially in disbelief) "Ok, I will!"
And that is how you know you live in a small town!!!! When the officer lets you go because he knows your family!!!! Gotta love it :) :)

That is how it is here. George got pulled over the other day and it was the old school resource officer who he worked with. Just got a warning!! It's great.
