I actually got the exact same line from an officer that responded to my home alarm when a door came open while we were on a quick errand. We beat the officer to the scene by a couple of minutes, so I'm sure it looked strange as I was poking around my house (after entering and realizing the alarm had tripped) when he pulled up on an alarm call.Keith B wrote:It may have been his attempt at humor, but it wasn't interpreted as such since you were getting a ticket.
As I went for my wallet I mentioned I had a CHL and was delivered the same line, but it was done with a bit of a smile, so I took it for the joke it probably was.
Turned out to be a fine encounter for me....
