one of vienna's scoot jockeys nailed me the other day, this must have been john, not ponch, as i'm sure officer caterpillar lip would have cuffed and stuffed me for my egregious offense(s) considering my last run-in with him....
hit me up for no inspection sticker, which was/is the first ticket i've gotten in i cannot remember. bush 41 was in office the last time i think i got a ticket. i had just purchased a car, private sale, from PA. car was inspected by PA back in april, and when i registered it the person at the DMV made no mention of needing an inspection immediately, so thought i had the same time for that as i did for emissions. wrong. every other car i've bought was a virginia car, with a valid inspection, so i had no clue.
While giving me a ticket was kind of douchey, he could have just said get it inspected asap and let me go with a warning..... however, he was more than forthcoming about it by saying - just get it inspected, come to court with the receipt and little pink slip, show the judge, he'll more than likely toss it out and you wont have to pay a thing. no fuss, no muss.
NBD you say? on the surface, no, not a big deal. considering i was leaving from lunch in which i had a wobbly pop, and he sniffed it out ( which i find remarkable considering the amount of garlicy shrimp i had at lunch ), it is. he asked, i said yes, how many and how long ago. he then had me do a couple chanllenges with the alphabet and numbers, passing them i suppose, and sent me on my merry way with a "have a great rest of the day".
knowing some radical libs seem to think simply sniffing a bottle of beer impares ones driving ability, he could have called for swat backup and had me do cartwheels down the street to prove my sobriety.
I know vienna cops get blasted on here, with some blasting deserved, but officer john was a decent chap deserving of no blasting.
