Oh my, I've gotten so many tickets and would have gotten so many more if it
weren't for sympathetic, friendly officers.
One time I was going around 90 mph when the cops finally caught up with me
Cop: You know why I stopped you?
Me: uuh uuhh, not really...
Cop: Do you know how fast you were going?
Me: No! I tried to keep up with traffic, sir!
Cop: *laughing* I think it was the other way around. Traffic tried to keep
up with you *laughing again*
Me: *very apologetic* I am sorry, I did not intend to do that...
Cop: Okay, if you promise to drive safely from now on, I'll let it go with a warning.
Me: Oh you're so nice, and I promise: no more speeding!!

Another time I got stopped for speeding and not wearing my seat belt
(plus I had 2 glasses of wine). When the cop looked at my driver license
he notices my German name and proceeded to tell me about his German
grandmother and how much he liked her and her potato dumplings and
pretty soon we were talking about "The Germans" in general and I got off
with a warning too.
Then...oh gosh, too many to name
