Well, where do I start? First off, I hope Vince doesnt mind, because looking back it was pretty embarrasing, but I'm still pissed, I'm sure he is too.

We are going to the Saab school as most of you know, Vince needs a helemt for the event.
I took the day off work, which I often do, and went up to his place to go with him to get a helmet.

so we get to cookstown, where there is a decent shop BTW, and lookaround. Vince sees this helmet thats hard to describe, but I can only its the most retarded helmet I've ever seen. Knowing Vince, he was dieing to get a helmet he could wear and drive around pretending to have turettes.

So against my reccomendation he buys this god awful thing, figuring he can always buy another one if its no good for the track.. so we leave.. We're both in Vinces car, and the rain let up..so we put the top down and crank the heater..

he opens the box and slaps the thing on, and I'm laughing like its the funniest thing I've ever seen.!! and it was!!!

so there we are, top down, Vince driving with this retardo helmet on, and then he starts yelling at everyone he sees on the road..F you, and Shit,,fukkk I damn near pissed my pants
We turned on to Molson Park Dr. near the costco, where there are a on of people..they are staring at us, like we were mental!!!

well I mention that there are some good twisties up near the arena, so we pul off there, and Vince is still waving his arms...

We didnt notice but a cop was following us for quite a while..so when we got to a side street, the blipped the sirens, and we pulled over...I dont know what Vince was thinking, but he still had the helmet on, and starting pumping his fist like a pissed off old man..

we werent speeding so I didnt think its was a big deal...These freaking cops come up on both sides with guns DRAWN!!!, I was shitting...

The first thing out of the cops mouth is hands where I can see 'em!!

so there we are , with our hands in the air, and Vince with the helmet on.. The cop grabs him by the shoulder and yanks him out of the car...the other cop tells me to sit still..

Vince tries to tell the cop that we were just goofing on tards as he put it, and we were just having fun.these rookie cops didnt find it funny, he grabbed him by the shoulder, and yanked him out of the car and started yelling. Vince was doing the ya but..just...then pushed Vince against the hood, and Vince is a big boy too...

knowing my rights, I start to get out of the car, and tell the cop to back off, and tell us what we did wrong..

The cop on my side, grabs me, and hauls me to the cruiser, an unmarked Impala BTW.. and chucks me into the back, I bang up my legs, and no have brusies all over the place.. I can see out the window that cop just screaming at Vince, waving his finger at him..I'm getting really scared now, the other cop says if I move, I.m fuked..and goes back to the S2K..

Vince must have said something to convince them, because they let me out, and sent us on our way...

we didnt talk much, we were both pretty shaken up, it was all in fun, but I tell ya, I was freakin out, these cops had something to prove..

I feel better getting it of my chest,
just glad we're not in jail

 

wierd...

 

WoW.

You should be pissed. I guess goofing off and getting caught is one thing, getting thrown around is another.

I guess I'm glad you guys aren't in jail or something.

 

Damn...that's some scary $hit. I thought the US had the corner on overzealous cops.

 

Holy shit, I let you guys out of my sight for 5 minutes and this happens!

No dinner for either of you tonight.

You can still chat because I want more details tonight.

 

dayum!

actually if you move when u are not suppose to i guess they can nail you with resisting arrest ... but that's pretty extreme in what they did.

better take it easy next time....

 

Wow, that really sucks!

This is canada, i'm sure you guys can make a complaint or something. They should'nt get away with that type of sh!t.

 

BWAHAHAHAAH.. OH SHIT.. Sorry.. that is SOOOO funny.

I think you were best to get those cops badge numbers though.

So did they ever explain exactly why they pulled you over? I'm pretty sure it's not against the law to act like an ass in public. (Way to go Vince, I haven't met you but the mental picture with the helmet is sweet)

I'm reminded of the 3rd degree I got during a "routine traffic stop" a couple years back.

****ing cops. At least you guys were doing something to justify the stoppage.

Oh man what I wouldn't have given for a hidden camera.

 

Waiting patiently for Vince to chime in with his side of the story . . .

That totally sucks, Mike, I can imagine why you'd be shaken. I'd be pretty pissed and upset, too.

However, reading the story on the internet, I've got a shit eating grin on my face just from the images of you two screwing around!

Peace.

 

We really need to see a pic of this helmet!
