Would you run from the Police?

My boyfriend, Brandon lives in Lexington Park. Thats about a fifty minute drive from my house. Several times I have had run-ins with the Police on my way home from Brandons house. Well actually I have been pulled over about four, five maybe six times. Its getting to be so many I can't really remember exactly how many times.

The very first time I was running a little late to meet curfew (mom if you're reading this its not a big deal I promise and this happened like ages ago) I was in my dad's jeep and I kind of wanted to see how fast I could get home. I thought I was doing very well looking out for cops until a car pulls out of no where (police always do that) and turns on those annoying flashing lights. As he was getting all my info he asked if I was military and I confidently answered saying my dad is active duty air national guard. I even went as far as saying I had an older brother at the Air Force Academy (even though he is serving a mission right now). Well the officer kindly let me off with a warning. Lucky me!

A few other times I got pulled over for silly things like a burnt out head light or a burnt out tag light. Things that just eat up my travel time. I think I got pulled over once more for speeding with just a warning.

I pretty much learned my lesson from warning after warning, I didn't want to push my luck too far. Until recently one night I was jammin' out to one of the greatest songs ever, Don't Stop Believing by Journey. I can't help but sing at the top of my lungs when I hear that song. While I was singing I started to drive a little faster, I just couldn't help myself. I was the only one on the road and then out of no where I see a car behind me and instantly I knew it was a cop. Sure enough the flashing lights came on. I was so nervous, I thought my encounters with the law enforcement were over. Again the officer asked if I was military because he saw my ID as I was getting my license and I have North Dakota plates. Well I totally stumbled over my reply. It came out sounding like "uh... yeah... dad... umm... air national guard..." I'm sure that didn't sound too convincing. The officer told me I was under audio and visual servalence. Since my brain was all in a jumble I asked him what that meant. He kindly told me I was on video and microphone (duh!). I was tempted to ask him if I would appear on the show Cops if I were to do anything stupid like run. Thankfully my brain was working just a little bit. Yet again I got off with a warning!

Its a good thing I come from a military family because it gets me out of speeding tickets. I guess it helps that I'm a cute girl too :).
