[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3993223, member: 45773"] Another thread got me thinking about some of the lighter moments in my law enforcement career. I know you other guys have some, too. Let's hear 'em if you'd like to share... There was a new subdivision being built that was separated from the main part of our city. Hundreds of houses were being built there. One Sunday morning there was a burglar alarm coming from one of the show homes. Our policy was two cars were required to respond to alarms. I took the call but all the district cars were tied up. One of our traffic guys was working an event or special assignment so dispatch asked if he could cover. He did. He was riding one of the department Road Kings. We got there, checked the building, all was good. We decided to go grab a cup of coffee but "Al" told me he was gonna make a pit stop at one of the porta potties right next to where we were parked. He made it clear it was of the sit and stay a while variety. I got in my car and drove around the corner pretending to leave while he was doing something with his bike. When he went into the porta pot I gave him about 45 seconds to get his gear off and get comfy. Then I ran over to his bike, which he hadn't locked, and pushed it up to the potty door, blocking it from opening. He heard me but it was too late to do anything. I ran back to my car while he was yelling obscenities at me. After a few minutes he called me on our main frequency (channel 1) and asked me to go to our car-to-car channel (channel 2). Channel 2 was very line-of-sight dependent and very short range because it didn't hit the repeaters. I told him I would meet him on Ch 2...but when he called I told him he was too broken to understand because I was already too far away. He went back to Ch 1 and asked me to come back to the alarm location. I told him I couldn't because dispatch had called me with a sensitive assignment. I'd already called dispatch and told them to play along. He said he was having trouble with his bike and needed my help. He tried and tried to get me to come back but I told him I couldn't. Long story short, I made him tell me, over channel 1, that he was locked in the porta potty and couldn't get out. He was so mad I actually considered he might shoot me! I moved his bike away from the door just enough so he could squeeze out. He vowed vengeance but it never happened. [/QUOTE]
