Accident in Denton

Most CHL/LEO contacts are positive, how about yours? Bloopers are fun, but no names please, if it will cause a LEO problems!

Accident in Denton

#1

Post by DoubleJ »

So, had a wee fender bender this a.m. Dude cut me off, clipped mah truck.

regardless, stopped to get info, and file accident report. Denton PD came out to handle the paperwork, and I had a great experience with the officer. very professional, discounted my CHL without a word, and simply handed it back to me.
After it was all said done, I would commend the the Denton Officer for his professionalism, and discretion.

the other driver was a water-brain boxer/mma toughguy, and I'm sure if my CHL-ness had come out, it would have turned into an issue, or be seen as a challenge.
anybody who has a licence plate holder that says, and I quote "I'd rather be... Choking you out" is bragging about his "fighting skills..."

anyway, pontifications aside, the DPD Officer was great, and I hope to have an oppurtunity to tell him, and/or his supervisor, my thanks.
FWIW, IIRC, AFAIK, FTMP, IANAL. YMMV.

Certainly send a letter to his supervisor about your experience with the officer. Many times you can go to the departments website for contact information and just drop them an e-mail. Far too often these good encounters go unnoticed and unreported. You just might make someones day with an 'At-A-Boy'! Glad to hear everything turned out ok and no one was hurt.

Glad to hear of your good encounter and that all survived relatively unscathed (except the truck).

The officer's attitude was probably influenced by your clean-cut, choir boy appearance. ;-)

I know quite a bit about martial arts;mma;whatever. my perception was based more on his demeanor, and "OOOOOH LOOK AT ME I CHOKES THE PEOPLES OUTS" than any broad brush.
also a little commentary on the "AH GOTS A GUNSES" bumper stickers (although the NRA ones don't qualify under that "rule")

LLW: At least I was wearing my scrubs. Always tend to get treated a little better in Tha Scrubses. Most LEO's prolly figure if their career's long enough, they'll see me in some capacity :lol:
