Failed Attempt
Tuesday night was pretty quiet and we were on the prowl for something to get involved in. We saw a group of young attractive girls being led down the block by some guy. They were all dolled up and obviously ready to party and nobody was going to stop them from having a good time until they met the bouncer. We watched from across the street as he turned the girls away and examined the guy's ID. After a few minutes the entire group began to walk away . This is when we decided to approach the guy and take a look at his ID. My partner led his horse on the sidewalk and cornered the unsuspecting guy against the storefront. Those young pretty girls kept on walking so we concentrated our efforts on this guy. We asked him for his ID and he gave us a CT Drivers License which obviously wasn't him. Maybe he could pass as the guy's stunt double but tonight there was no movie being filmed. We asked him when he graduated high school and he hesitated and said "2004 but I stayed back a year, you can call anyone in my phone and ask them". Now the last time I checked I was a police officer and not a employee of AT &T, did he really think I would start calling people from his phone? Anyway the guy seemed harmless so we kept his ID and told him to go on his way. Little did he know that it is a felony he just slipped away from but there is no sense of ruining this kids record just because he is trying to have a good time and have a few drinks. I myself in my younger days had a fake New Hampshire ID and I must say it worked in 3 different states and I was only rejected 2 times that I remember. So that was our excitement for the night and because the kid didn't give us a hard time and was respectful of the police everyone went home on time. So the next time you are stopped by the law treat us with some respect and you just might be surprised at the results!!

I like that you remember your childhood days before issuing tickets. Everyone needs a second chance.
