police

I used to belive that FBI stood for Fish Buying In because when I went to camp they took a picture of a FBI car and put a fish beside it. In big blod letters by it they wrote Fish Buying In so I thought the fish were trying to become stock brokers or something. Then we were talking about it at school and my teacher ask me what it meant. I stood corrected.

I used to believe that the police were the good guys that could capture all bad guys no matter what.
I also used to believe that once you break the law the cops would come, take you to jail and send you to court.
I used to believe that when you needed a cop one would come and do their job. That was until I found out that at best cops only catch criminals after the crime was committed and are not really modern day knights in shining armor.

I used to believe that taxis (with their rooftop lights) were a division of the Police, and I always scrambled to check that my seatbelt was on when one drove by.

The police brought my kid brother from somewhere. Don't ask me why they brought him to us though! I guess we were supposed to punish him for dirtying his diaper.

I used to believe that the Highway Patrol was called the Highway Control.

Thought the police were the bad guys - ready to put you in jail at the slightest mistake.

When I was a kid I used to look out the side of the car trying to find the cops hiding in the bushes and trees because my mom told me that cops would hide so that you can't see them when they use the radar gun.

OK, this isn't really a belief, but when my brother's friend's brother was little, he used to practice calling 911, and one day the phone was actually ON, so he heard the person say "911, what's your emergency?" and he got scared so he gave it to his brother (my brother's friend). The dispatcher said "911 what's your emergency" again, and my brother's friend answered "I lost my green ruler,". I am still wondering why they didn't track the call.

PROVE IT!

When I was younger I saw an ad on the TV warning against drinking and driving. For a while, I thought that "drink-driving" meant drinking alchohol while driving.
