I was driving along, and all of a sudden the detector goes crazy. It was at 1 am and the cop was behind some bushes where I couldn't see him. When I saw him pull out I switched off the detector and closed my glove box. He grilled me about a radar detector for maybe 10 minutes before letting me go with just the speeding ticket.
You want to know something funny I saw on my way home from work today? You know where the cops pull in between the two guardrails and actually back into the bushes in the median on 581? Well as I was driving by there I was trying to see if anyone was sitting back in there and I see an empty case of beer back in the bush. Now how does that get there? I can't help but to wonder if someone was drinking on the job, or if someone tossed it out and it just coincidentally landed in their spot.
