Playing the Long Game
Local cops had a scam – they put a 45mph limit sign on an interstate where the limit was 55 ( late 1970’s). And would pull over out of state cars- ticket plus a cash “bond”. Want to see the judge ? Sure , he’s my brother in law…
Cop pulls over a mid 20’s black man driving a nice sedan with out of state plates. The young man comments that this is illegal. He is invited (in cuffs) to see the judge. The judge fined him $50. He refuses. The judge sentences him to 5 days in jail. No phone call, no lawyer, nothing.
5 days later the young man leaves. And returns a week later with a number of his co-workers. And arrest warrants for the sheriff and the judge.
The young man was an FBI agent en route to his new assignment. Oops. Story credit: Reddit / cbelt3
