police

The cops would frequently stop our car and give my dad "tickets". When I was young, I thought they were tickets to the movies or something. So when the cops pulled my dad over, I would ask my dad what show we got tickets, too.

When I was about six years old, I noticed my dad was driving past a sign that said "Do not pass". I became very upset and was certain the police would arrest my dad because he passed the "Do not pass" sign.

When I was little I asked my dad how police knew when people were speeding. He told me they where just always around watching. So for the longest time I used to beleive there where people living in the trees and when we were driving I used to always stare out the window thinking I would see somebody living in one.

My friend's kids used to come into the room, holding their little fingers like a gun and yell, "Hands in the air, you're under duress!!" Or alternatively, "You're under the rest!" We still say this to them, thought as high schoolers they know that it is Under Arrest.

I used to believe police officers can't get arrested.

She didn't finish her frink and she took it with her. I bit my tongue as long as I could then I saw a cop and I blurted out "AWWWWW Aunt Linda your not sposed to drink and drive!"

When I was a child, I thought "prosecuted" meant "executed". I'd go exploring with my dad or brother in "no trespassing" areas with "Violators will be Prosecuted" signs around. It was terrifying for me!

I thought Jaywalking meant you crossed the street without looking both ways and holding an adults hand... I think I was 12 before I realised that I wasn't jaywalking when I didn't look both ways..

You know those white signs that have the letters DUI crossed out and it says like "it kills, dont do it" or whatever? I always wondered why because it should be DDI and not DUI to my 6 year old logic. I always questioned what "it" was and why we cant dont do it.

Back when my family got our first VCR, I used to think the police or FBI could spy on everyone, everywhere, 24 hours a day, and even if you were just making a copy of a movie on video tape, they could immediately track you down and come after you.

as a kid I thought the police didn't have to follow the law and could do whatever they want.

When I was five I thought that if several police cars were going 100 mph on a residentual road that the back car would arrest the one in fron of his car and he would arrest the guy in front of him and so on. I was afraid that soon there would be no cops to protect my families uninsured savings account.
