First year law student

I was driving on Beach Boulevard behind an ancient guy in a beat up truck.

He decides to turn in front of me without a blinker.

I accelerate to swerve and avoid him, and this, overaerobicized woman jumps in front of my car with her hand up.

She proceeds to yell in my window, "Hey, slow down you idiot!" I'm a well-bred, mellow guy by nature, so I ignore this.

As I drive away, she yells, "*******" at me again. Twice? I turn around and drive up next to her.

"Do you have a problem?" I ask.

"Yeah, why are you driving like an idiot?"

"I was driving like an idiot? How, exactly."

"You were speeding. I watched you."

"You were? I see. How did you measure my speed?" (Ever the interrogator, I am.)

"I heard you."

"So, you measured my speed by ear?"

"I can hear."

"How fast did you HEAR me going?"

"Look," she says, "I don't have to take this. Here comes a cop. I'll wave him down."

THE POLICE? This woman is a trip. She waves him down, and proceeds to tell him that she observed me speeding.

"What happened?" he asks. I told him the story, and told him that I accelerated to an indicated 33 mph (the speed limit is 35) to avoid a collision.

"Are those mufflers legal?" Ethel asks.

She's pushing it. I reply, "I have a C.A.R.B. exemption for them." I give the paperwork to the cop.

She tries to find another thing to screw me with. She says "What about those big tires? They CAN'T be legal." I began feeling little overheated gears in the back of my head start to turn.

"These tires were available on the 1970 Boss 429, "I told the cop," Which makes them street legal as a replacement."

Ethel gets angry. She whines, "So you're not going to give out any tickets to this ******?"

The cop says, "No, I am not."

I've about had it. So I say, "Sir, this woman told you that she left the street at the corner, and she met up with my car here. According to Title 39, pedestrians have to cross the street at a right angle. This woman admitted she crossed at a 45-degree angle, which is a ticketable offense."

"What?" The cop looks confused.

"Also, she told you that she walked in front of my car to stop me. A citizen can't detain someone without probable cause, under Terry v. Ohio (my new favorite case). Since she couldn't measure my speed, she had no probable cause to detain me. That is an indictable offense."

The cop says, "But, I didn't see any of this."

"But," I said, "I did, and, as an officer of the Court, I can demand her arrest. I'll agree to dismiss the Illegal Detention charge, but I want her cited for not crossing at a right angle and Hazardous Conduct on a Public Street."

The cop called his Lieutenant, and after the cop told the story, he authorized the summonses.

She went home with $215.00 worth of traffic tickets, and they are worth a total of four points against her license, as well as the appropriate insurance surcharge!

Well...I thought it was

Well...I thought it was funny. o.O

If only!

This is a great joke... and it deserves to be true - because there are a lot of people out there who are more ignorant than the villainette. There is very little in life that is more satisfying than seeing total @$$holes get their come-uppance!

Why is he a douche?

(let's assume this story is true)

She was getting on his case for nothing. He didn't do anything wrong. And she tried everything to get him a ticket - naturally he did it back to her (because she really did stuff she shouldn't have). It's her own fault for being a stupid bitch. She's not a cop so she should stop trying to be one.

Your bid for a large fart is $34. You've won this auction.

you dorks are better than the joke

I have to say - the comments are more entertaining to read than the actual joke was. LOL!

But seriously, I can't believe society is still this ignorant. IT WAS A JOKE PEOPLE. It's even filed under "lawyer jokes".

douchebags

this is a joke website, right? why do people get offended by a simple joke and then go on to analyze it, for what? does it help you sleep at night to critisize people for no reason? does it make you get off when you post ignorant comments butchering a perfectly good and somewhat funny joke? fuck off ignorant pricks.

FYI

If Terry v. Ohio is his new favorite case, he should read it again. Terry only applies to the government (cops). It doesn't apply to private citizens at all.

I realize this is a joke, but somebody is going to read this and really screw themselves.

badass man

this is not an original

this is not an original story, it's an old lawyer joke, except the original involves an actual lawyer, not a student...plus, a first year law student isn't an officer of the court and couldn't get a police officer to ticket her. this story makes no sense.

You people make my brain

You people make my brain hurt. The only semi intelligent person on here was the very first commenter. Do you think MAYBE since the story is on a page with the word JOKES in the title that it's PROBABLY not real? Just a guess. Idiots. You make me want to punch babies. And where are the trolls? This is perfect trolling climate and there's not a single one on here, just one moron who somebody who clearly doesn't understand trolling accused of being troll.
You're all douchebags. Please shoot me before humans become even stupider. Crap like this proves evolution is a crock because you're all dumber than my 80 year old great grandma who is convinced that my lesbian cousin's girlfriend is a boy so obviously the human race is not improving.

Amen!

Your comment was so on point. I laughed so hard my coffee actually choked me. Thanks for saying what I was feeling in such a perfect way that I no longer feel the need to comment on it myself. :-D Good day.

This story is photoshopped,

This story is photoshopped, i can tell by the pixels.

you've probably seen a lot

you've probably seen a lot of shops in your time haven't you?

Next time someone calls you

Next time someone calls you a "*******" , whatever it was, just keep friggin' driving. Don't feel the need to drive back up there, stir the situation back up by asking her if she 'had a problem'. If you're a "*******", you're most likely an actual "*******" , whether or not speeding up was the right thing to do or not. Get over it.

Also, when she first jumped in front of your car, run her over next time. Friggin everyday Joes and Janes thinking they're American heroes. Sick of it.

Alright, next time don't really run her over. Point is, your pride left you in the hands of someone crazy and stupid, who thinks they're high and mighty, and got the police involved. Your extensive knowledge of law came in handy, but common sense could have just said that she had no evidence to support any foul play or demand an arrest. "I haven't done anything wrong and this lady on her pedestal is slowing down my day. Sorry for being dragged into the inconvenience, Officer." The fact that you demanded an arrest is neat, (I think the term was 'feel-good fable', which is suitable) but really douchebaggy. This sort of pride to have the last laugh is just friggin petty, I don't care if you become a big-shot lawyer or not.

Just because you can name off cases like Terry v. Ohio and boast your position as 'an officer of the Court', does not mean you wear the big boy pants. Grow up a little.

Its a @#$%ing joke.... on a

Its a @#$%ing joke.... on a joke website. Are you seriously that retarded to go on a tirade, over-analyzing & bitching, about a joke? Get a life.

Oh please, talk about a feel

Oh please, talk about a feel good fable. You're all a bunch of suckers.

These kinds of stories exist to make everyone feel better about being totally under a boot their entire lives.

It's a pathetic Orwellian minutes hate against a non existent scape goat enemy culminating in a fictional victory.

Everyone get back to work.

Or you could have just

Or you could have just explained to her that you were trying to avoid a collision with the man ahead of you, instead of wasting everyone's time and getting the police involved.

Read Before You Write

why dont you try reading the story first. the student didnt get the police involved. the woman did.

Think before you post after

Think before you post after you read what you write.
By not simply explaining that he swerved to avoid collision, he toys with her asking leading questions that egg her on. Thus brining the police upon himself. so....shutup.

praise

Your behavior was completely exemplary and you're the kind of citizen that is capable of raising the level of citizenship itself if given the kind of attention and respect the officer demonstrated. I hope ten thousand people read your post and take it to heart. Society should drop the act and give a person who's right his dues. It goes from the playground (teasing and shunning the smart kid) to adult life, where playground behavior continues under a thin disguise.

Absolutely: power to you and your educated mind Sir, and to our wonderful laws that make a great society within reach for everybody.

Also: You kept a cool head and that's something that's getting harder and harder in this world. We ought to give out more and more credit just for that. You are the Dude!

WoW

I would like to say that YOU ARE THE MAN!

And come on the guy just put her in her place. Stop calling him a douche. I know you all feel bad because you don't have the brains to verbally own someone. Congrats on posting to someone else's page to call them a douche. Guess what? THAT MAKES YOU A DOUCHE

Teaching someone a lesson in

Teaching someone a lesson in a hilarious, non-violent fashion is the best! Chances are that person won't needlessly cause problems for anyone for a long time to come. I guarantee that she would have gone home and told everybody about what she'd done had the guy driving actually been ticketed and, what's more, I'm sure she would have felt smug about it. Props for turning the situation around.

\m/

Fuck that bitch, fuck you high an mighty fuck faces that forgot that 90% of the world DOES like to have a good time, and noise is a part of life, and I dont know about you, but I think most people would like to know when some one driving to fast is flyin their way around blind corners n shit, loud pipes save lives. And that's a fact.

OWNED!

OWNED!

This guy sounds like a total

This guy sounds like a total douche bag; naturally, he is studying to be a lawyer.

Fibber?

Then again, maybe it's total bullshit. It's very nice and neat and has a little ribbon on it, tied in a bow. Just a tad too perfect.

Impressive, but unneccesary

Well, I don't blame you for wanting to get her back for her obvious attempts to get you a ticket, but by posting this up here with such pride over your accomplishment you come across as a little bit vindictive. It seems to me that she had no reason to stop you in the first place and honestly thought you were speeding, even if here actions thereafter were ridiculous, she had good intentions at the start. So by thereby persecuting her, rather than just pointing out her mistakes and letting them go, which would have shown her the error of her ways, but still given you the moral high ground you would have been much better off, at least in a moral sense.

Bravo

Wow i stumbled on to this site right after i stumble off another one with a bunch of idiots talking shit over the internet. Damn this is turning out to be a great day. Heres the other site if any of you mindless retards want to check it out. http://projectkickass.com/1677/comment-page-1/#comment-4589

Oh and good job Mr. first year law student you did handle the situation nicely.

Good Job. Keep up the good

Good Job. Keep up the good work on keeping obnoxious mouth breathers in their place

Yes indeed you sound like

Yes indeed you sound like quite a douchebag, extra douchey.

you sound like a douchebag. why the hell stumble brought this page up for me is beyond my knowledge. I hope you fucking die.

NOT A DOUCHEBAG! You're the

NOT A DOUCHEBAG! You're the kind of person that is hard to find amongst all the idiots and religious nuts (apologies if I appear ignorant, if you are offended then witness your own confession to being an idiot or nut(or both)).

Well done! It's a story like this that re-instates some of my faith in humanity and that intellectuals should not get pushed around by our neadertholic counter-parts.

i honestly hope ur talking

i honestly hope ur talking about that bitch of a woman. cause if not, you might as well hang your self for being so retarded

The Right Thing

You did exactly the right thing. If more people in the world put such focus into making sure the dick heads of the world got what they deserved, then maybe the dick heads would reconsider their behaviour.

Karma?

Um, hello. SHE TRIED TO VINDICTIVELY GET ***HIM*** TICKETED! I'd call that insta-karma! I hope every letter of this story is true.

The devil and the lawyers

Amazing. I can't tell you

Amazing. I can't tell you how many idiot bitches like this I've wanted to screw over. I also have a somewhat noisy car, and these grumpy hags always think I'm speeding when accelerating...running out to the street to wave me down, making gestures and swearing at me...when I'm always driving the speed limit. The other thing people need to realize is that quick acceleration (unless burning out and causing danger around you) is not illegal as long as you don't accelerate past the speed limit).
Anyway this was a great story to hear since these people need to not be such ass holes. They need to mind their own damn business and shut up. (It's like the kind of people who call the police when they hear a party next door).
All you people who said that this guy is a prick, or a jerk...you're huge losers.

Yeah, people running out in

Yeah, people running out in the street and yelling is lame. But you know what else is? Losers with loud cars and a88holes who throw loud parties.

What makes you think that the rest of the world should be subjected to YOUR noise? "These people need to mind their own damn business"? Well, moron (who I sincerely hope is smacked down by someone even more arrogant), you make it their business when you and your white trash-mobile (or party) invades their peaceful existence. Mind their own business? Classic. How about you mind your own business and not act like you own the world?

Oh, and as someone who deals with the "loud" people (like you) all day (who are the most inconsiderate ignorant bunch of douchnozzles ever), I'll tell you this: 98% of them peaked in high school, trickled into community college, and are now water delivery guys or cell phone sales "men".

Why is it never the Princeton grads who (after their 22nd birthday) never throw loud parties or drive thumping clunkers? Hmmmmm, I'll have to go think about that. In the meantime, enjoy delivering your water or your mall job.

last time i checked dick

last time i checked dick fuck this is a free country and thanks for sterotyping everybody who drives a car that has the loud pipes that sound great. and if you dont like the loud noise stay the fuck in your house asshole
