A friend of mine, who works long hours, can only go jogging or walking at night. He recounted a chance meeting with local law enforcement officer (who I think was pissed off working the late shift)

DJ: Police Officer: "Don't you think a guy dressed all in black, running down a dark street at 10:30 at night is kinda suspicious?"
DJ: "Unless he's running down the street with a TV under his arm, no."
(Me: LOL)
(Me: you got pulled over for jogging?)
DJ : I was out for my daily walk/jog, and a cop stopped me as a "suspicious person".
DJ : he was like, "What are you doing?"
DJ "Walking, jogging, being active."
Police Officer "Why are you doing it at this hour?"
DJ: o.O
DJ: "Why are you questioning a citizen who has done nothing wrong?"
Police Officer: "I asked you a question, you'll answer it."
DJ: "Because exercise is good for you, and this is the time I had available. Walking and jogging in public isn't a fucking crime."
Police Officer: "I am an officer of the law and you will address me with respect!"
DJ: "FINE! Walking and jogging in public isn't a fucking crime, SIR."
(Me: LOL good for you!)
DJ: he was soooooooo not amused. but once he realized who my father is, and realized he'd get absolutely nowhere in the conversation with me, he let me go

*grin* ...

even being the Commish's son wouldnt help around here ... in fact it would turn out even worse ... >:>

but yes, I always want/am able to exercise after the gym is closed, so what else would I do but use the streets ...

I could sort of understand if this was his first time jogging, but he has been doing this, same area, for weeks.

My vote is still cop pissed off for pulling the night shift.
