for me the police can tighten up a lot more. More tickets...I would like to see TV gain a reputation for being a speed trap area...you know like the ones we all seem to know about and slow down when going through them.

Yup book the beep out of the violators until they/we slow down.....NO WARNINGS...just monetary ticketing.

book 'em Dano.

Wayne was delivering an organ to the hospital.

Guess I sort of give the police the benefit of the doubt more than others might since we had one in the family. Was always happy when he returned from work each day. It's a risky job, without a doubt.

Oh Rubicon....I would love to meet your friend.... especially since he'll be able to get into heaven....tell him he has to wait there for the rest of us...we might not have such great stories....
Nope, not a made up story....and Mike provided more of the details for me later in the thread. I'd forgotten some of the specifics...this happened around 35 years ago.

I know Pooh well and I absolutely assure you that no stories will be needed for Pooh to get in those gates.

When she arrives, and I hope it will be a thousand years from now, St. Peter will have assembled a parade and a brass band and all of his legions of angels and archangels.

Any post of Pooh's is gospel, unless you read it in the "just for fun" forum.

Now me? Well that is another story. If any on you get there first. Please leave a window cracked.

You're very kind, Gracie. My feeling is when St. Peter sees all of us....well who knows, maybe he writes on TOTV and we're all going to be in trouble.....

Most of the police cars in Hawaii look like this:

Honolulu Police Vehicles (More pictures)

I believe more than half of the cars are only marked by the blue light. Now they have switched to a small flat bar that looks like a luggage rack from a distance. Almost impossible to spot at night.
