Holy Fuck
Read this, it's long but very, very worth it. You wont be sorry.
I should be in jail, or at least have been bailed out of jail. What follows is an edited version of a conversation i had explaining my night, cause I've told the story too many times to tell it again right now:
Me, hugh and rick decided to go driving in my car, listening to music. We then we went and picked up duffy, cause he usually likes to cruise with us. We then we decide to go down the main street doing chinese fire drills. So we are going up and down california (the main street) watching for cops and whatnot, not having any trouble. I finally end up in the driver's seat and we are going down the street again when we decide we should do 5 jumping jacks and hop back in the car instead. So we stop, get out and do some jumping jacks and as we are doing them a cop pulls up to the green light diagonally to our left. He stops at the green light to watch us, then we pile back in, and as soon as our light changes, his lights go on and he pulls us over. He gives us the whole license and registration, are you drunk schpiel. He then asks us what we think he should do. Hugh says he should let us go back to our dorm. The cop says that he can give us all tickets, or we can do jumping jacks for a solid 5 mins 'since that is what we seem to want to do.' We obviously opt for the latter. So we are doing jumping jacks on the side of the main street for 5 mins as he calls for backup to come watch. After backup arrives, while im doing jumping jacks, my butterfly knife (which is illegal) falls out of my pocket. Mind you im wearing an orange hoody, blue plaid PJ pants and sporting a mohawk. I think im totally screwed. I pick it up immediately and the cop asks 'hey, what is that?' I say its just a knife and flip it around for him in my hand. He just says 'ok, keep going.' So im doing more jumping jacks and my other flip open knife falls out At this point im just like 'fuck, im going to jail.' I leave this one on the ground cause at least it's not illegal. The second cop walks forward and sees that its another knife, and the first cop says 'how many knives do you have?' I tell him just two and that im a collector (cause i am.) Im about to die from jumping jacks and have to stop for a second and he tells me he never told me to stop. We eventually finish and go on our way. After we get back, i realize my car isnt even registered, my registration expired not too long ago. And i proceed to shake for about another hour after the incident, in shock that i came home that night. I am just very glad that i decided to bring my wallet (and therefore my driverse license) with me, cause i wasnt planning on driving at first.
For the numbers: 2 misdemeaners, chinese fire drill and unregistered vehicle; 2 4th degree felonies, possesion of an illegal weapon and possesion of a concealed weapon; 1 thoroughly freaked out chips; 1 night i will never forget (or tell my parents).
